My Take
Amy Fisher is one of those names where the tabloid frenzy long ago swallowed the actual person. I find it telling that the man who initiated a relationship with her when she was underage was the one convicted of statutory rape, yet she became the headline as the 'Long Island Lolita' while serving seven years. What I appreciate is that she didn't let the media's caricature be the last word. She turned to writing an autobiography and journalism, trying to author her own story. Whatever you make of her past, the attempt to reclaim a narrative from a scandal machine is worth noting.
Overview
Amy Elizabeth Fisher (born 1974) is an American woman, who, in 1992, at the age of 17, shot and severely wounded Mary Jo Buttafuoco, the wife of Joey Buttafuoco, who had initiated a sexual relationship with the underaged Fisher in 1990. Buttafuoco would later be convicted of statutory rape and serve four months in prison. Fisher pleaded guilty to aggravated assault and served seven years in prison.
