The Lorena Bobbitt Trial
S1, EP32 "Victim Recalled To The Witness Stand"The State's forensic psychiatrist told jurors that Lorena Bobbitt was not insane when she attacked her husband. Dr. Miller Ryans concluded after evaluating the defendant that she chopped off John's penis in a malicious, pre-planned attempt to hurt him.

All of which he denied he forced on her.
