John Bobbitt beat his wife using military techniques, choked her, forced anal s*x on her until she bled, r*ped her repeatedly throughout their marriage and forced her to have an abortion. On June 23rd 1993 he came home drunk and r*ped her again. She went to the kitchen, picked up a knife and cut off his penis. Threw it out the car window. Police found it. Surgeons reattached it in a 9-hour operation. What most people remember is the knife. What most people don't know is what came before it. In the video below her actual courtroom testimony plays out - and it's one of the most harrowing things ever broadcast on live television. She testified about years of abuse. Witnesses confirmed bruises on her body. She described locking herself in rooms only to hear him prying the door open with a screwdriver. Said when she tried to leave he threatened to throw her out with nothing - no money, nowhere to go. She described being forced into the abortion - him sitting in the waiting room telling her the needles were going to be so big she was going to die, laughing while she cried. Nurses had to take her to a separate room because she was in such distress. She said she felt guilty about it for years afterward. She secretly recorded his insults on a tape recorder to show a divorce lawyer. He found it, heard his own voice and beat her for it. On the night it happened she said she went to the kitchen for a glass of water. Said standing in the refrigerator light every memory came flooding back. Every assault. Every humiliation. Every time he told her she was too Spanish, too small, that she didn't deserve him. She said she didn't remember picking up the knife. The jury found her not guilty by reason of temporary insanity. John was later tried for marital sexual assault. He was also found not guilty. Both walked free. Neither got justice. The case changed American law on marital rape forever. Was justice served for either of them, or did the courtroom simply confirm what the bedroom had already decided?
