Amy Fisher's Revenge
Until last week, it was tempting to call him Lucky Joey. When 17-year-old Amy Fisher came to his Massapequa, New York, house last year packing a gun, his wife got shot, but Joey Buttafuoco escaped without a nick. When a grand jury investigated Fisher's claims of statutory rape against him, Buttafuoco denied the charges, and once again came away unscathed. Now Buttafuoco's luck may be running out: another grand jury indicted him on reopened statutory rape charges, which carry a possible sentence of 73 years. Brought to court in a sharp suit, sharp tie and handcuffs, he pleaded not guilty. At his side was his wife Mary Jo, with fragments of Fisher's bullet still buried in her head. "I know Joey," she said, loyal as ever. "I believe in him."
