Interview with Lorena Bobbitt
After 15 years, Lorena Bobbitt is in the news again.
CBSNews, Lorena Bobbitt, 15 Years Later
Exactly 15 years ago this week the world first heard the story of John Wayne and Lorena Bobbitt. John Wayne, an ex-Marine, was accused of coming home drunk and raping his wife. Lorena was accused of retaliating by cutting off her husband's penis while he was asleep.
Today Lorena is a confident 39-year-old who works as a real estate agent and next month gets her hairdressing license. I'm not sure if I would feel comfortable with her holding a pair of scissors near me. I was able to snag an interview with her and here follows the exchange:
Bernie: "Let me get straight to it, do you feel it was right to take the law into your own hands?"
Lorena: "No, never; take that from me, that's the advice that I give, don't take the law into your hands - it's not good. Besides it wasn't the law that I took into my own hands - it was a pair of scissors."
Bernie: "So how big..."
Then she cut me off.
[Sorry, I couldn't help myself.]
