You would think that he would never touch a woman. BUT I also cannot believe that a woman would marry him. Lorena could not have been more obvious about what she did and why!
LAS VEGAS, Nevada (AP) -- A man whose domestic troubles gained notoriety when his then-wife cut off his penis in 1993 has again been acquitted of domestic battery.
John Wayne Bobbitt, 38, acknowledged a pattern of domestic trouble after Las Vegas Municipal Court Judge Toy Gregory ruled that Bobbitt's estranged wife, Joanna Ferrell, had not been injured.
"I've always had a problem with judgment, particularly when it comes to women," Bobbitt said.
He was convicted in February 2003 of battery involving Ferrell, prompting a northern Nevada judge to revoke his probation and send him to prison for his role in a 1999 store theft.
Bobbitt was acquitted of a domestic violence charge in Las Vegas stemming from an August 2004 incident involving Ferrell and her teenage son.
Ferrell, Bobbitt's third wife, accused him of hurting her when he pushed her to the ground during arguments at home September 14 and outside his moving company job September 17 in an industrial section of Las Vegas.
Bobbitt denied pushing Ferrell. He filed for divorce in late September, and his lawyer, Barry Levinson, said Wednesday the divorce should be final within days.
Bobbitt gained fame when his first wife, Lorena, cut off his penis at their apartment in Manassas, Virginia. She was found innocent by reason of insanity after arguing that Bobbitt abused her.
He had a brief career as a porn star and moved from Virginia to Nevada after surgery to reattach his penis. He has worked at a brothel, as a bartender and as a tow truck driver.
Luckily, I don't think I've heard of any children coming from this man. I hope he's not able to have any! The next girlfriend (because there's always someone for everyone, right?) will probably cut it off and stick it in a blender! This is definately someone the Darwin law should apply to...
I don't know that it is dumbness. I think some women just like to idealize their relationships. They figure they can "fix" anyone with enough love, patience, understanding... all that happy bull-hockey. It's just too bad that most of the time they don't figure out that you can't "fix" a defective partner until they are getting beaten, robbed, or cheated on. Naivity perhaps...

Everyone knows the eternal line: "But he's changed!" Changed his shorts maybe, but you can't count on people to change who they are. I think that's the problem in a lot of relationships: too much change, not enough accepting your partner just as they are. If you want to change them, then they're not the right person for you.
It is just too bad that people don't come with warning lables. One would think that a guy who was all over the news for having his junk severed over being a bad spouse wouldn't require one... but then again...
