Summary
A knife. A trial. A story that made the entire country cross its legs. In the early morning hours of June 23, 1993, Lorena Bobbitt swung an 8-inch kitchen knife and launched a thousand news stories, millions of terrible punchlines, and at least two of the weirdest porn films ever made. Join Shane and Duncan for a sordid tale of abuse, retaliation, courtroom chaos, and a sentence you never thought you’d hear on the evening news. Volume one of a revenge series that proves sometimes truth isn’t just stranger than fiction, it’s also way more painful. ~Become an Insomniac!
