Amy Elizabeth Fisher (born August 21, 1974) is an American woman who became known as “the Long Island Lolita” by the media in 1992, when, at the age of 17, she shot and severely wounded Mary Jo Buttafuoco, the wife of her lover Joey Buttafuoco.[2] She was initially charged with first-degree attempted murder, but eventually pled guilty to first-degree aggravated assault and served six years in prison. After her parole in 1999, Fisher became a journalist and writer, before embarking on a career as a pornographic actress in 2007.

Fisher was born in Wantagh, New York, to Elliot and Roseann Fisher; her father was a Jewish-American and her mother is an Italian-American. As a 16-year-old student at Kennedy High School in Bellmore, New York, Fisher began a sexual relationship with Joey Buttafuoco after damaging her parents’ car and appealing to Buttafuoco, who owned a body shop, to make repairs without her family knowing of the damage.

On May 19, 1992, 17-year-old Fisher had an accomplice drive her to the Buttafuoco home in Massapequa, New York. When Mary Jo Buttafuoco answered the door, Fisher told her that Joey was having an affair with Fisher’s younger sister, providing a t-shirt advertising Joey’s auto body shop for her “proof.” When Mary Jo turned away Fisher shot her in the head on the front porch and left the property.
Fisher was charged with first-degree attempted murder, but pleaded guilty to one count of assault in the second degree, and in December 1992 was sentenced to 5 to 15 years in prison.
Based on a signed hotel receipt dated days before Fisher’s 17th birthday, Joey Buttafuoco was charged with statutory rape. He was convicted in October 1993 and served six months in prison.
In 1999, after Fisher served seven years in prison, Nassau County District Attorney Denis Dillon consented to vacating Fisher’s original plea bargain and a new plea was entered with a 3– to 10-year sentence, ensuring her immediate release on parole.

Garden of Graves
by Maria Eftimiades
He was a beloved family physician and a ruthless doctor of death who almost got away with murder.
It was a friendly hunting trip– two men kicking back, shooting at clay pigeons on campgrounds near rural Montrose, Pa. Then, a single shot rang out. Moments later, Marty Dillon, a promising young lawyer, was dead of a gunshot wound to the chest. His friend, Dr. Stephen Scher, later tearfully explained that Dillon had been running with a shotgun after a porcupine, and tripped and fell, accidentally killing himself. But what really happened?

Marty Dillon’s violent death was immediately declared an accident by the local coroner in 1976. But as Dillon’s body was lowered into the cold ground, did a damning secret, one that would haunt his friends and family for decades, go with him?
