Robert Lee Longenberger Sr., 56, shows his injuries in the waiting area of District Judge Richard Knecht's office Monday. Longenberger was allegedly stabbed by his now ex-girlfriend, Linda Potoeski, 54. The knife, which left the smaller gash on his lower left abdomen, pierced his large intestine, he said. That forced doctors to cut a much larger slice, now medically stapled together, to remove a portion of the intestine, Longenberger said.
