>>40750 Joseph "Joey" Buttafuoco (born March 11, 1956) made headlines in 1992 for his affair with a then underage Amy Fisher, who subsequently shot Joey's wife, Mary Jo Buttafuoco, in the face. Although deafened in one ear and partially paralyzed, Mary Jo survived the shooting and was able to give a description of a t-shirt her assailant had been wearing. The t-shirt, emblazoned with the logo of Buttafuoco's auto body shop in Baldwin, Nassau County, New York, had been a gift from Joey to Fisher. Joey realized the implications of the description and accused Fisher as the shooter.
Fisher served seven years in Albion Correctional Facility for the crime. Buttafuoco pleaded guilty to one count of statutory rape and served four months in jail.[1] He and his wife later moved to California and divorced on February 3, 2003.[2]
Buttafuoco has been charged with crimes on numerous occasions since the Amy Fisher incident.
