THE WEEK, Page 22SOCIETYLolita Pleads Guilty
A Long Island teen faces prison for shooting her alleged lover's
wife
Tabloid readers who looked forward to a lurid trial of Amy
Fisher, the New York teenager turned call girl, will have to
settle for the Hollywood version of the saga. In a plea bargain,
Fisher, 18, admitted her guilt in the May 19 shooting of Mary
Jo Buttafuoco, a Long Island housewife. In exchange, Fisher will
be sentenced in December to five to 15 years in prison for
first-degree assault, a reduced charge with the possibility of
work release in three years. Fisher has said that at 16, she
became sexually involved with Mrs. Buttafuoco's husband Joseph,
who is 36.
Marvyn Kornberg, Joseph Buttafuoco's attorney, denounced
the plea bargain as "a stone-cold sellout," a deal to allow
Fisher to testify against his client on statutory rape charges.
Mrs. Buttafuoco, who has supported her husband's claim that he
was never involved with Fisher, was likewise furious over the
deal. Said she: `The bullet couldn't kill me, but the judicial
system surely will."
