Amy Fisher was convicted in 1992 for shooting Mary Jo Buttafuoco on the front porch of her Massapequa, New York home. Mary Jo's husband Joey Buttafuoco was convicted in 1993 of the statutory rape of Fisher, who was a minor at the time of the shooting. The press dubbed her the "Long Island Lolita".

Fisher served her prison sentence at the Bedford Hills Correctional Facility for Women in New York. She was granted parole and released in 1999.

Now a columnist for the Long Island Press, she won a Media Award for Column/News from the Society of Professional Journalists in 2004.
