00:05:51I
00:05:53I
00:05:53I
00:05:54I
00:05:55I can double check with my doctor
00:05:56um but these tests are supposed to be pretty accurate um
00:06:01Plus I'm late which is why I did the test in the first place you know
00:06:11You
00:06:11You know what
00:06:17This is great
00:06:21This is really
00:06:23Really great
00:06:24You mean it?
00:06:27You can always count on me you know that
00:06:28No matter what
00:06:30And that goes for our kids too
00:06:32No
00:06:32I'd never do anything to hurt you
00:06:34Joey was my first serious relationship
00:06:40My only sexual partner
00:06:42I was an Irish Catholic girl in the 70s
00:06:45This was the man I loved
00:06:47I trusted
00:06:47I was committed to raising a family with
00:06:51Being Joey's other half became my identity
00:06:54And I was sure he loved me just as much
00:06:56Even though there were times he definitely tested my limits
00:07:03Joey they just pulled up behind us
00:07:04You were speeding right?
00:07:06What should I know?
00:07:09All right just so you're going into labor so I have to drive a little fast all right?
00:07:12Joey no I am not doing that
00:07:13Just trust me on this Mary Jo come on
00:07:15Don't I always know what I'm doing?
00:07:35What's the problem?
00:07:37You could have gotten a ticket Joey
00:07:40Key word could have
00:07:41But I didn't
00:07:43All because of my brilliant idea
00:07:46Yeah yeah
00:07:48Joy to the world
00:07:53Stick with me babe
00:07:56I can get away with anything
00:07:57I think Joey really believed that
00:08:00Which explains why his behavior got even worse
00:08:03After I gave birth to our son Paul
00:08:08By the time our daughter Jessie came along
00:08:10I was having more and more trouble keeping track of Joey
00:08:13And what he was up to
00:08:15Ooh
00:08:16What's that?
00:08:17It's okay
00:08:18Yeah
00:08:19It's almost time to take little Jessica back to the nursery Mrs. Bettafuoco
00:08:23Oh I'm waiting on my husband
00:08:24He went home to get our son Paul
00:08:26So he could bring him here and meet his little sister
00:08:29Visiting hours ended over 30 minutes ago
00:08:32Really?
00:08:35Promised he was coming right back
00:08:37Didn't he?
00:08:39Yeah he did
00:08:43Yeah it's okay though I got you
00:08:45I was really excited to be a good mom and wife
00:08:48I knew it was the right thing to give up the partying
00:08:52But Joey, he sort of stayed a perpetual teenager
00:08:56But that's what everyone loved about him
00:08:58My mother considered him a son
00:09:01My baby sister Eileen thought of him as an older brother
00:09:04Anytime I tried to share behavior I was troubled by
00:09:07Everyone assured me that's just Joey
00:09:10All they saw was his sweetness
00:09:12Not that he was usually trying to make up for some kind of bad behavior
00:09:18Is there a beautiful woman in here?
00:09:20Really?
00:09:21Yeah
00:09:23Thank you
00:09:26Oh Joey, it's beautiful
00:09:29All right, careful
00:09:30One big step coming up
00:09:32All right, I trust you
00:09:33How are you, Bob?
00:09:34All right
00:09:36You got me a sports guy?
00:09:38A sports guy
00:09:40What?
00:09:40Yeah I did
00:09:41I kept telling myself he'd eventually get it together
00:09:43And be the man I thought I married
00:09:45What are you waiting for?
00:09:46Don't be
00:09:46Don't get him in the car
00:09:48That's all
00:09:59Babe
00:10:00Don't be mad
00:10:02I didn't mean to stay out this late
00:10:12It's after midnight, Joey
00:10:17Remember you promised you would
00:10:20Come home and
00:10:22Help me put the kids to bed
00:10:24These things got a little out of hand
00:10:25Didn't they?
00:10:26Is it so wrong?
00:10:27I just wanted it off a little steam
00:10:33No
00:10:34All right, all right
00:10:34I messed up
00:10:40I...
00:10:43I think this potty-ing is getting a little out of hand, you know?
00:10:46No, look, I need you
00:10:49To be a part of this family
00:10:51A part that the kids and I can rely on, you know?
00:10:57Or...
00:10:58Or else, you know?
00:10:59Oh, or else?
00:11:00Yeah
00:11:01Or else what?
00:11:03Hm?
00:11:03You can never stay mad at me, babe
00:11:06Hey, I'm not
00:11:08Playing around
00:11:09Joey
00:11:13I think it's time you get some help
00:11:17Hm?
00:11:19Yeah
00:11:21Help
00:11:23Just...
00:11:23You know...
00:11:26Look, just to...
00:11:27Just to control whatever it is that...
00:11:32Makes you...
00:11:35Hm?
00:11:42You know you and the kids mean the world to me
00:11:44I'd do anything to prove that to you
00:11:48Anything?
00:11:52All right
00:11:53I will get some...
00:11:55Help
00:11:56You will?
00:11:57Your wish is my command
00:11:58I love you, Joey, but if you go
00:12:00And I love you, Mary Jo, but if you go
00:12:03Yeah
00:12:04And I'll never stop proving that to you
00:12:08Ever
00:12:10I should have seen the pattern
00:12:12Joey would mess up, promise to change
00:12:15Then go right back to his old ways
00:12:17But I loved him
00:12:19I loved our kids
00:12:20Our life
00:12:21I wanted to believe him so badly
00:12:28Yeah, that'll work as a replacement pot
00:12:31And I think, uh...
00:12:33Oh
00:12:42Can't be in the work area, ma'am
00:12:44Too dangerous
00:12:46I like danger
00:12:48I like danger
00:12:48Makes me hot
00:12:52How old are you?
00:12:54Sixteen
00:12:55Why?
00:12:56Like what you see?
00:13:03I'm talking about my car
00:13:09Looks a little beat up, to be honest
00:13:12Only because I like to go fast
00:13:15And sometimes I get distracted when I see a cute guy
00:13:22Okay
00:13:22You're really a Fisher's daughter
00:13:26Guilty, but don't hold it against me
00:13:29My dad has an account here, so he would want you to take extra special care of my car
00:13:38What do you know?
00:13:41Woody now
00:13:41While I was home taking care of our kids and managing our life
00:13:45I honestly had no idea what my husband was really doing behind my back
00:13:49We're not done yet, are we?
00:13:53Don't you ever get tired?
00:13:55Isn't that what you like about me?
00:13:57That I can go longer and more often than your wife?
00:14:00All right, all right
00:14:01No more of this pay-per-view stuff, okay?
00:14:04These one-hour hotel stays are breaking my bank
00:14:07You'd have a lot more time and money if you left to marry Joe
00:14:13How do you know my wife's name?
00:14:15I know your kid's name too
00:14:16Paul and Jessica, what's wrong with that?
00:14:18You know, I'm 17 now
00:14:21Which means I'm legal in the state of New York
00:14:25We could get married
00:14:28Would you stop?
00:14:30Undressing you? Or talking about getting married?
00:14:33All of the above
00:14:36I want to be with you all the time
00:14:40What part of I'm married do you not understand?
00:14:52This is where I want you to really pay attention
00:14:54I know now that Amy Fisher came from a troubled background
00:14:58That she was struggling with her own pain
00:15:01And I have compassion for that young girl
00:15:04But that doesn't erase the choices she made next
00:15:08Calculated, deliberate choices
00:15:11She was determined to get what she wanted
00:15:13And she knew exactly what she was doing
00:15:36You're Stephen, right?
00:15:38Yeah
00:15:39I'm Amy, I know Lou, he told me I could find you here
00:15:45I heard you would do
00:15:47Just about anything
00:15:48To spend a little time with a girl like me
00:15:51She did
00:15:53I mean, uh...
00:15:55Yeah
00:15:56As it happens, you are just the kind of guy I'm looking for
00:16:00You got a gun, right?
00:16:04Yeah
00:16:06Been on a few hunting trips with my uncle
00:16:09Got a rifle
00:16:09Hmm
00:16:11Perfect
00:16:13Cause I need you to kill someone for me
00:16:20Joey worked hard to provide for the family
00:16:22But I was the one running the household
00:16:25Paying the bills
00:16:25Taking care of every detail of our lives
00:16:28Sure, he was a hard worker
00:16:30But Joey and Mai's relationship was more like mother and son
00:16:34I grew up while Joey stayed a perpetual teenager
00:16:41I did a lot of research on adult men who showed no signs of maturing
00:16:46Peter Pan Syndrome describes adults who cling to teenage habits and attitudes
00:16:51Yep, that was Joey
00:16:53Only I had no idea what to do about it
00:16:56Still, never in a million years did I think he'd ever cheat on me and the kids
00:17:07Hey
00:17:08Hey
00:17:09I thought you were mad at me for not leaving my wife
00:17:18How could I stay mad at you, Joey?
00:17:22We were meant to be together
00:17:28What are you doing?
00:17:30Decided you've been right all along
00:17:33Oh yeah
00:17:35As long as you're married, I don't expect you to marry me
00:17:39Of course
00:17:39If that ever changes
00:17:42I wanna be the first in line to be the next Mrs. Butterfuco
00:17:46No
00:17:48No
00:17:56Oh, no
00:17:59No
00:18:02No
00:18:03No
00:18:05No
00:18:06No
00:18:07No
00:18:08No
00:18:08No
00:19:11Hello. Now we know when Mary Jo's all alone in the house.
00:19:16For?
00:19:18So when we go there to shoot her with your gun?
00:19:21Oh, um, hey, you mean my, my, my very rifle?
00:19:26Hmm.
00:19:28Um, I mean...
00:19:31Say it, Steven.
00:19:33I'm not really sure if I can actually kill somebody.
00:19:37I mean, between you and me, I had a hard time killing a deer upstate.
00:19:42Hmm.
00:20:03You wanna sleep with me, don't you?
00:20:05Then all you've got to do is kill that bitch.
00:20:08Trust me, I'm doing public service here.
00:20:11Mary Jo's an obstacle, then I'm clearing out of the way for everyone's sake.
00:20:25Thanks for treating.
00:20:27How is it that you come by so much cash?
00:20:29I mean, as your boyfriend.
00:20:33Joey?
00:20:34He can say his name.
00:20:36Yeah, but you here with me, isn't that cheating?
00:20:40Uh, first off, he's cheating on me with his wife.
00:20:43Besides, he likes that I'm so sexual.
00:20:45It's one of my many qualities.
00:20:47Cool.
00:20:48So, he just gives you money?
00:20:50Actually, I earn it.
00:20:52Men pay to spend time with me.
00:20:54You know, through an escort service.
00:20:57Joey's good with that?
00:20:59Yeah, but like I just say, he likes that I'm so comfortable with my body.
00:21:03Cool.
00:21:08So, uh, when are you free to shoot Mary Jo?
00:21:11The sooner the better.
00:21:13Gotta make sure I can get a good aim at her.
00:21:15You know, for the kill shot.
00:21:20Don't worry, Steven.
00:21:21Listen, I got a plan.
00:21:33I got a plan.
00:21:38Hi.
00:21:39Can I help you?
00:21:39I'm here to raise money for my high school.
00:21:43I think you went there, too.
00:21:48How would you know that?
00:21:50The, uh, principal's office gave us a list of names to solicit on account of, uh, wanted us girls to
00:21:58be safe and raising money for the school.
00:22:03And what are you selling, exactly?
00:22:06Uh, candy bars.
00:22:08Only got three left.
00:22:10That'll meet my goal.
00:22:13Just, just give me a moment.
00:22:27What are you waiting for?
00:22:29What are you waiting for?
00:22:33Excuse me?
00:22:42Which, when you want.
00:22:45You have a nice day.
00:22:46Yeah, um.
00:22:51You, too.
00:22:55This isn't candy for a school charity.
00:22:59Is she serious?
00:23:03Were you waiting for a written invitation?
00:23:05All you had to do was take the shot.
00:23:07You kept on stepping in front of my aim.
00:23:08I did not want to shoot you by mistake.
00:23:09So instead you didn't end up shooting anybody?
00:23:11After I planned everything perfect.
00:23:16I tried telling you, I don't think I could ever kill nobody.
00:23:20It's, I can't kill anybody, you idiot.
00:23:26You can forget about me ever sleeping with you now.
00:23:31Sorry.
00:23:34Don't be.
00:23:37I'll find a way to kill the bitch myself if it's the last thing I do.
00:23:49Amy Fisher became fixated on Joey.
00:23:52Looking back, I can see how he manipulated that young girl the same way he manipulated me.
00:23:58He was that good at convincing anyone that they were the center of his attention.
00:24:03Everyone loved him.
00:24:05He was Mr. Fun.
00:24:06He had everyone fooled.
00:24:09Especially me.
00:24:11Your copyright is filthy.
00:24:12I got to take out the whole thing, clean it up.
00:24:15I don't want to let you drive out of here without, without me doing that, all right?
00:24:20It's kind of expensive, it is.
00:24:22Yeah.
00:24:23Go.
00:24:24Joey.
00:24:25I got good news.
00:24:26The way we can be together all the time.
00:24:29Sir, I'll call you back, all right?
00:24:36Ow.
00:24:38Joey.
00:24:47Hey, hey.
00:24:48Get it through that thick skull of yours once and for all.
00:24:50I'm married.
00:24:55Not for long, you know.
00:24:57Amy Fisher wasn't about to stop trying.
00:25:00In her mind, I was the only thing standing between her and the life she wanted with Joey.
00:25:06And she decided the solution was to eliminate me.
00:25:09She was going to make it happen.
00:25:12Ha, ha, ha, ha!
00:25:16It's crazy.
00:25:23It's crazy.
00:25:24I would do it.
00:25:35Couldn't help but notice you've been staring at me all night.
00:25:39I'm Peter.
00:25:40I know.
00:25:42Amy.
00:25:46You messing with me?
00:25:48No, but you definitely got something I want.
00:25:53Do it now.
00:25:55Relax, Romeo.
00:25:58I'm here on business.
00:26:02Business?
00:26:04I've heard you could sell me a gun.
00:26:13Get lost, little girl.
00:26:16800.
00:26:18Cash.
00:26:20Close your mouth, Peter.
00:26:21You're practically drooling.
00:26:24Gun.
00:26:25First.
00:26:26Cash.
00:26:27Second.
00:26:29Oh, yeah?
00:26:30What's that?
00:26:32You teaching me how to use it so I don't miss my intended target.
00:26:47Mrs. Butterfucco?
00:26:50Do I know you?
00:26:52No.
00:26:53Definitely not.
00:26:55I'm Anne-Marie Fisher.
00:26:57I'm here because I'm concerned about my little sister, Amy.
00:27:02Why do you, uh, why do you look so familiar?
00:27:05Uh, probably seeing me and my sister around the neighborhood.
00:27:09She's why I'm here.
00:27:10She's only 17.
00:27:12And how old are you?
00:27:1319.
00:27:15Which is why I'm so concerned about my little sister, see,
00:27:18because your husband seduced her when she was even younger than she is now.
00:27:24Is this some kind of prank?
00:27:27Your husband's Joey Butterfucco, right?
00:27:31Listen, look, I'm a little busy right now, so if you're done messing around...
00:27:34No, no, I'm serious.
00:27:36Your husband and my little sister have been sleeping together.
00:27:39I have proof.
00:27:45Where'd you get this?
00:27:48You can't even get this at the shop yet.
00:27:50Your husband gave it to my little sister after he slept with her.
00:27:54Over and over and over.
00:28:00Look.
00:28:01I don't know how you got this, but keep it.
00:28:04I don't want it.
00:28:09I'll tell Joey you stop by.
00:28:11No, don't do that.
00:28:13Why not?
00:28:14Listen, I don't want any trouble.
00:28:17I'm here because...
00:28:20What are you looking at?
00:28:21Is that who you came here with?
00:28:23Look, I don't know what kind of game you're playing, but I'm not interested.
00:28:26I told you I'd tell Joey you stop by.
00:28:28All right?
00:28:28Is that good enough for you?
00:28:29No.
00:28:34No.
00:28:35No.
00:28:35No.
00:28:36No.
00:28:37No.
00:28:38No.
00:28:39No.
00:28:39No.
00:28:41No.
00:28:42No.
00:28:44No.
00:28:45No.
00:28:46No.
00:28:47No.
00:28:47No.
00:28:48No.
00:28:49No.
00:28:49No.
00:28:55No.
00:29:03No.
00:29:09No.
00:29:10No.
00:29:11No.
00:29:12I don't understand. I should weave her something by now.
00:29:14Mr. Barofuco.
00:29:16Oh, this is Eileen. This is Mary Jo's sister.
00:29:18Is Mary Jo okay?
00:29:20Your wife's still with us.
00:29:22The bullet severed her carotid artery
00:29:24and is lodged at the base of her brain,
00:29:26just above her spinal cord.
00:29:29But she'll be okay.
00:29:31She'll live?
00:29:33Honestly, it's too early to tell.
00:29:36We want to operate, but even if she survives the surgery,
00:29:39she's likely to have severe brain damage,
00:29:41could even be paralyzed, deaf, and or blind.
00:29:45With your permission, we'll operate right away.
00:29:47You do what you gotta do.
00:29:48You go save my wife.
00:29:50We'll do the best we can.
00:29:54I don't understand.
00:29:56Who would do something like this?
00:29:58Who'd want to hurt Mary Jo?
00:30:01Nobody I can think of, that's just true.
00:30:37Mrs. Barofuco.
00:30:38Mrs. Barofuco.
00:30:52Mary Jo, can you hear me?
00:30:57Can you blink if you hear me?
00:31:05Mary Jo, you've been shot.
00:31:08We're doing everything we can for you.
00:31:10Stay strong now, okay?
00:31:20Mary Jo.
00:31:22Hey.
00:31:23Who shot you?
00:31:25Who did this to you?
00:31:27Don't try to speak, Mrs. Barofuco.
00:31:29You've been outfitted with a tracheostomy, too.
00:31:35We better sedate her.
00:31:37Can we at least let her try writing?
00:31:46I was fighting for my life while everyone else was fighting about the truth.
00:31:51No one took me seriously at first because they were convinced that I had brain damage.
00:31:55Not to mention, they couldn't remove the bullet since it might have put me in even more danger.
00:32:00I'm sorry.
00:32:03No one took me.
00:32:11In for me, who's...
00:32:13No.
00:32:14Is that who shot you?
00:32:16No.
00:32:17No.
00:32:18No.
00:32:20No.
00:32:21No.
00:32:22No.
00:32:22No.
00:32:23No.
00:32:24No.
00:32:25No.
00:32:26No.
00:32:28No.
00:32:38You know, we don't know any Anne-Marie.
00:32:46She's writing more.
00:32:52Even with a bullet in my head, I was determined to be heard.
00:33:00None of this is making any sense.
00:33:10Your wife has suffered a great deal of harm.
00:33:14It's very likely she's delirious or worse.
00:33:18We're still assessing possible brain damage.
00:33:21I lost track of all the surgeries and physical therapy sessions I had to go through.
00:33:27I wasn't the one who committed the crime.
00:33:29But I was the one paying the price.
00:33:51Mr. Parifuco, I have some news.
00:33:54the bullet penetrating your jawbone likely saved your life but it got stuck there and we weren't
00:34:01able to remove it without jeopardizing you further unfortunately with the bullet being so close to
00:34:06your brain and spinal cord it's likely that your facial paralysis and hearing loss are permanent
00:34:13honey babe you don't you don't have to
00:34:16when can i go back to solid foods at least as you know your jawbone was shattered
00:34:23it's only liquids for now
00:34:27and uh uh how about her eye she has to wear an eye patch for a while due to severe
00:34:32corneal damage
00:34:35we are gonna find out who did this i already know who did it
00:34:44i don't know why she did it
00:34:50oh help
00:34:58i spoke to the nurse she's gonna have your pain medication at the top of the hour
00:35:08sweetheart we're gonna get through this okay i don't care what that doctor says

00:35:36affair with this awful person who shot you
00:35:40or anyone for that matter on our kids lives i swear
00:35:56okay
00:36:05only a few more questions was a butterfugo
00:36:07Anything to help find her did this to Mary Jo?
00:36:10According to your wife, the young lady with the gun
00:36:12said that you and her little sister were having an affair.
00:36:20Uh.
00:36:25No, I got no knowledge of that sort of thing.
00:36:27We got an axe.
00:36:28This shirt.
00:36:30You know how many shirts we give away in a year?
00:36:33It was one of the new golf shirts.
00:36:36Yeah.
00:36:37Those are still in boxes.
00:36:41She said you gave it to her little sister.
00:36:46And it's how she was trying to prove that what she said was true.
00:36:53It wasn't.
00:36:55It isn't.
00:36:58I don't know.
00:36:59Maybe someone stole the shirt.
00:37:01Maybe another employee of the auto body shop had access to them.
00:37:07You know, on second thought, there actually was a customer I gave one of those shirts to as a preview.
00:37:14A male customer.
00:37:17Elliot Fisher.
00:37:19And he's the only one you gave a golf shirt to?
00:37:21Maybe this Elliot Fisher has some daughters or nieces or something.
00:37:42We got something.
00:37:43About time.
00:37:51That's her.
00:37:53Yeah, I see, that's, that's the girl that shot me.
00:37:56That's Ann Murray?
00:37:57Amy.
00:37:58Yeah.
00:37:58Amy Fisher.
00:37:59The daughter of your customer, Elliot Fisher.
00:38:03Wow.
00:38:04So he had kids, huh?
00:38:05One daughter.
00:38:09We just needed your confirmation.
00:38:11Now we can lure her in.
00:38:13How are you going to do that?
00:38:24Stick to the script.
00:38:26Nothing more, nothing less.
00:38:27Yeah, yeah, got it.
00:38:39Hello?
00:38:40Hey, is this Amy Fisher?
00:38:41This is Joey Buttafuoco from the auto body shop.
00:38:43Joey, how come you...
00:38:44You know what, it's better we talk in person.
00:38:46Yeah.
00:38:48Uh...
00:38:48Can you meet right now?
00:38:49Yeah.
00:38:50Tell me where you at.
00:38:52Okay.
00:38:54We right there.
00:39:08Stay calm.
00:39:09Could be just a, uh, traffic ticket.
00:39:13Step out of the vehicle and put both hands on your head.
00:39:28Amy.
00:39:29Did you do it?
00:39:30And if you didn't, who did?
00:39:31Amy.
00:39:31Miss Fisher.
00:39:33Talk to us, Miss Fisher.
00:39:34Amy.
00:39:35It'll take two minutes.
00:39:36Amy.
00:39:36Amy.
00:39:40Amy Fisher, dubbed the Long Island Lolita since it's rumored she was having an illicit affair
00:39:44with the victim's husband, is now the prime suspect in the shooting of Mary Jo Buttafuoco.
00:39:50It should be noted that Miss Fisher is only 17 years old, leaving many to wonder just how
00:39:56responsible someone this young could be for the circumstances she finds herself in.
00:40:00The media portrayed Amy Fisher as this sweet 17-year-old who'd been taken advantage of,
00:40:06who didn't know what she was doing.
00:40:09I understand the complexity now, that someone can be both victim and perpetrator.
00:40:13But I was there on that front porch the day she shot me.
00:40:17And Amy Fisher knew what she was doing.
00:40:20Before, during, and after.
00:40:34Hey, what are you doing?
00:40:35Back off.
00:40:36Clear a path.
00:40:37Come on.
00:40:39I got you.
00:40:40I got you.
00:40:45Boy, these people don't have anything better to do, huh?
00:40:49I keep telling you, sweetheart.
00:40:50We're famous.
00:40:51I don't want to be famous.
00:40:54I want my kids.
00:40:56Mom!
00:40:57Hi!
00:40:58Oh, Mom!
00:40:58Hey, come here.
00:41:00Careful, Paul and Jessie.
00:41:02Your mother's still hurt.
00:41:03Don't listen to your father.
00:41:04I love you.
00:41:05I love you, too.
00:41:06I never want you to let go.
00:41:08I love you, baby.
00:41:09Who do you believe, Mary Jo?
00:41:11Your husband?
00:41:11Do it.
00:41:12Annie Fisher.
00:41:14Annie Fisher.
00:41:15Annie Fisher.
00:41:19Annie Fisher.
00:41:28I was so beaten up, so dependent on Joey financially.
00:41:32I didn't want to break up our family.
00:41:35The kids were young.
00:41:36I was worried what people would say, what my Irish Catholic mother would think if I questioned
00:41:41Joey's and my wedding vows.
00:41:43Joey was all I knew, all I thought I had, and he seemed so sincere.
00:41:51It wasn't so much that I was ignorant.
00:41:53It's that Joey was that good at being dishonest.
00:42:02The realization that my life would never be the same, that I might never be able to smile
00:42:07again, was something I didn't know if I could ever come to terms with.
00:42:25Jess?
00:42:34Sweetie, you're awake, huh?
00:42:51Hi.
00:42:55Can I see this?
00:43:17You are the sweetest girl.
00:43:37I keep telling you it was an accident.
00:43:40That's all you've got to say for yourself.
00:43:46I was confused on account of Joey is so much older than me, and I really didn't know what
00:43:52I was doing.
00:43:53You've got to believe me, the gun went off by itself, I swear.
00:44:01The physical evidence told a different story.
00:44:04Detectives had the theory that the gun Amy used had its slide pulled back before it was
00:44:08fired, which showed she came to my home with the intent to shoot me.
00:44:13That was hard to accept.
00:44:15All I wanted was for my life to return to normal, and that meant putting faith in my family.
00:44:26I'm not sure this is the best idea, Joey.
00:44:29You know, I mean...
00:44:34It feels like...
00:44:35It feels like it's too soon.
00:44:44What'd I tell you, everyone loves you.
00:44:46Same as us.
00:44:48Especially me.
00:44:50All right, let's go find a last cabana for your mother.
00:44:51Come on.
00:44:53Come on.
00:45:05Come on.
00:45:07Does it hurt?
00:45:10Excuse me?
00:45:12But the bullet went in now.
00:45:14You want to know a secret?
00:45:17The bullet is still in my head, yeah?
00:45:20In my jaw.
00:45:22Can we see?
00:45:24Sure you can.
00:45:27If you had x-ray vision like Superman, you'd be able to see right through it.
00:45:34Mm-hmm.
00:45:37What's the body for you?
00:45:38You're the closest lady ever.
00:45:45He's right, you know, you're definitely the coolest lady ever.
00:45:50Joey was a fabulous liar and manipulator, but he wasn't the only one still hiding the truth of what really
00:45:56happened.
00:45:58I'm glad we came.
00:46:17So, anything change?
00:46:18You can ask me the same questions over and over all you want.
00:46:22My story's never going to change.
00:46:24None of this is my fault.
00:46:26I got caught up in other people's troubles is all.
00:46:29Their manipulations.
00:46:32I was used.
00:46:37A Mr. Steven Sleeman and a Mr. Peter Guigente tell a very different story from the one you've shared, Ms.
00:46:43Fisher.
00:46:44The first guy says he helped you try and kill Mary Jo Butterfuco last November.
00:46:49And when that plan didn't work out, the other says that he sold you a gun and drove you to
00:46:56the Butterfuco residence so that you could do it yourself.
00:46:58We're not going to comment on what sounds like hearsay at best.
00:47:06Holding back information isn't going to do you any favors.
00:47:11We're aware of our rights.
00:47:16According to sources, the only person who doesn't suspect Joey Butterfuco had an affair with the accused assailant is his
00:47:23wife, the gunshot victim, Mary Jo Butterfuco.
00:47:32Come here and gifts.
00:47:38Apple sauce and cottage cheese.
00:47:40At least you don't beat it to a straw.
00:47:42Yeah.
00:47:49I hear the news on here again?
00:47:52Hmm?
00:47:52How many times I got to tell you that stuff's no good for you?
00:47:56Can I help it if we're all that's on TV?
00:47:59And if we're willing to be famous or infamous?
00:48:02You know who really doesn't mind being famous?
00:48:05It's that girl.
00:48:08Who?
00:48:12You go ahead and say it.
00:48:16You don't believe I never slept with Amy Fisher, do you?
00:48:19Looking back, I can see the cracks forming all around me.
00:48:24If only I'd been ready to admit it to myself at the time.
00:48:27It's not that I don't believe you, Joey.
00:48:30I just wish that these idiots on TV did.
00:48:36The things that these reporters, these newscasters are saying about us.
00:48:41About our marriage.
00:48:45We've got to make sure Paul and Jesse never see this stuff.
00:48:49Amy Fisher is a very confused young girl.
00:48:53Sure, I remember her being in the shop a lot.
00:48:55Her dad let her charge repairs to his account.
00:48:57She was a really bad driver, always getting into all these accidents.
00:49:02What do you think she says about me?
00:49:04Bull-faced lie.
00:49:05That's all there is to it.
00:49:06Besides, someone I want to talk to you about that's better than TV.
00:49:09Oh yeah?
00:49:10What's that?
00:49:14Movies.
00:49:17Dear Mr. and Mrs. Butterfuco, if you'll kindly grant us your valuable time for a meeting,
00:49:24we'd like to explain how telling your story cinematically can bring something good out of
00:49:30something that's been truly awful for you.
00:49:41Hollywood came calling sooner than the police could wrap up the case.
00:49:46Everyone wanted in on the action.
00:49:48They were making three movies at the same time.
00:49:51I couldn't believe it.
00:49:52But everyone around me thought it was so exciting.
00:49:55Oh, Mary Jo's on TV.
00:49:57Joey's consulting on a movie.
00:49:58See, I thought to myself, if this was happening to my best friend, it would be exciting.
00:50:04So, I went along with it.
00:50:09Even though we were on the set for one of the movies, I was still in total denial of
00:50:14the absurdity of it all.
00:50:17Not to mention, barely functional because of all the drugs I was on for pain.
00:50:22And action.
00:50:24You're going to want to hear what I have to say.
00:50:26I need to get back to my painting.
00:50:28He's lying to you.
00:50:31That's not how it happened.
00:50:33Ah, it's Hollywood, babe.
00:50:35Just be glad that one of these movies is finally telling my side of the story.
00:50:39Our side of the story.
00:50:42Yeah, well, he lies about a lot of things.
00:50:48You okay?
00:50:49Yeah.
00:50:56Someone call 9-1-1.
00:50:58Mary Jo.
00:50:58Mary Jo.
00:50:59You okay?
00:51:00Come on.
00:51:12Joey?
00:51:30You should be resting, Mary Jo.
00:51:33You don't mind me calling you that, do you?
00:51:36No.
00:51:37Of course not.
00:51:41So, um...
00:51:42Are you feeling well enough for me to ask a small favor?
00:51:49Can I get an autograph?
00:51:53I figure if I get yours and Joey's, then all I need is Amy Fisher's.
00:51:57Although I am very much Team Mary Jo.
00:52:01I never wanted to be recognized in public.
00:52:04I was happy being a wife, a mom.
00:52:07I loved my life.
00:52:08All I wanted was to be there for my children.
00:52:12Those three movies did nothing to help my anonymity.
00:52:15At this point in my life, I've seen myself shot in the head on TV more than 300 times.
00:52:22Everything became about Joey and Amy.
00:52:25Me and my kids got lost in the shuffle.
00:52:29And things just kept getting worse.
00:52:34Is Joey Badafuoco the one who told you to shoot Mary Jo, Amy?
00:52:37Whose idea was it to kill Mrs. Badafuoco?
00:52:40If you're innocent, we want to hear from you, Amy.
00:52:42You can talk to us.
00:52:57What's so funny?
00:52:59This show really cracks me up.
00:53:01Come on.
00:53:02Watch some TV with us.
00:53:04Take a load off.
00:53:08No, I'm okay.
00:53:17A lot of the comedy shows back then thought it was funny to do sketches making fun of what happened.
00:53:22What I was going through.
00:53:24Me being paralyzed on one side of my face.
00:53:27You know who didn't find any of that funny?
00:53:30Me.
00:53:36I can't even watch those comedy shows right now.
00:53:40I'm not knowing when they're going to make fun of us again.
00:53:49When did I do it?
00:53:52Did we become the punchline?
00:53:55Our lawyer's looking into suing the shows that are doing that.
00:53:58Well, because I got shot in the face because I can believe you.
00:54:03Well, man, I promised love to let that do his part, you know?
00:54:09What you and I got is rock solid.
00:54:13No one needs to understand that except for you and me and the kids.
00:54:15Looking back, I could see I had all the symptoms of Stockholm Syndrome.
00:54:20I still didn't think Joey had been having an affair with the person who did this to me.
00:54:25Life was too foggy because of the multiple pain medications I was on.
00:54:30When I was in sixth grade, I had a concussion after a bad fall and couldn't remember anything for a
00:54:35short period.
00:54:37Catholic school left me back a grade.
00:54:40Everyone called me immature, the left back baby.
00:54:43Kids told me I was stupid.
00:54:46Then later in life, this all happens and now I'm stupid again because I'm not leaving Joey.
00:54:52Because I believed the man I swore to stay with for better or for worse.
00:54:58These interrogations are bordering on harassment.
00:55:01My client remains a frightened young girl, a victim of everyone who's trying to take inappropriate advantage of her.
00:55:07We're just trying to do our best to piece together the facts as they're revealed to us.
00:55:11For everyone's best interest, including Miss Fisher's.
00:55:14If you've got something you haven't disclosed, that alone could be grounds for...
00:55:17All we're asking for is a little clarification on all the stuff about Miss Fisher
00:55:21being reported on TV night after night.
00:55:23Tabloid fodder, none of which has been substantiated.
00:55:26Just some people trying to make a quick buck off all the publicity surrounding my client.
00:55:32Call me Cap.
00:55:41Don't worry, we're still gonna get him to agree to a plea deal.
00:56:08I just wanted to let you know that Amy Fisher's grand jury testimony has been temporarily postponed.
00:56:13What?
00:56:14Yeah, apparently she's been hit hard by a news story airing last night with a video of her admitting to
00:56:19a boyfriend.
00:56:20That she's keeping her name in the press to make a lot of money and get a super high-end
00:56:24car.
00:56:25Really?
00:56:26Mm-hmm.
00:56:27So, uh, they said that she'll be there for at least a week for psychiatric examination and observation.
00:56:33Look, it's not like I wanted to, you know...
00:56:38I'll be in touch when we have more information.
00:56:39Okay.
00:56:42Take care of yourself, Mary Jo.
00:56:52Everything good?
00:56:56Nothing's been good since May, Joey.
00:56:59Or have you not been paying attention?
00:57:01Babe, I...
00:57:02Amy's in the hospital for psychiatric examination.
00:57:08Yeah, I mean, I keep telling you how messed up she is.
00:57:15What about me, Joey?
00:57:19Do you understand how long I have been waiting to finally see the person who shot me testify to a
00:57:24grand jury,
00:57:25so she will finally face charges?
00:57:28I do.
00:57:29No.
00:57:39This is never gonna end, is it?
00:57:50Will today be the final chapter in the lengthy saga of the Long Island Lolita?
00:57:55Inside this courthouse, Amy Fisher will at long last come face-to-face with her victim.
00:57:59It will be the first time the two have seen each other since May 19th, 1992,
00:58:04when Amy Fisher allegedly visited a tranquil Massapequa home and put a bullet in Mary Jo Barafico's head.
00:58:25Let's try to keep this matter as efficient as we can since the defendant has already agreed to plead guilty
00:58:31to the shooting in arrangement for her plea deal.
00:58:41The defendant has a statement she wishes to enter?
00:58:44Yes, Your Honor.
00:58:52Seeing Amy Fisher in person for the first time since the shooting was surreal.
00:58:57The girl who tried to kill me in the same room.
00:59:01But I held my head high.
00:59:03I knew who I was.
00:59:04I had my integrity.
00:59:06And I wasn't trading it for anything.
00:59:15Sometimes I think this was a nightmare and it didn't really happen.
00:59:18And then I realized that it did.
00:59:21I went up to the doorstep with a loaded gun in my pocket.
00:59:25I spoke with Mrs. Barafico outside her Massapequa home for 15 minutes until Mrs. Barafico turned to go back inside.
00:59:34I hit her on the back of the head.
00:59:36I hit her again.
00:59:38The gun went off.
00:59:39I tried to get her off of me.
00:59:41And I hit her.
00:59:43I think twice.
00:59:45And then I left.
00:59:47I ran away.
00:59:49These, Your Honor, are all true.
00:59:51They are all facts.
00:59:53And I cannot and will not take them back for the sake of hominy.
01:00:03And now I believe we'll hear from Amy Fisher's victim.
01:00:10Make no mistake.
01:00:12This courtroom will not devolve into the media frenzy that has surrounded these goings on for the last year and
01:00:18a half.
01:00:20This is Barafico.
01:00:35My two beautiful children are having a difficult time leaving me alone.
01:00:41They are afraid I might not be there when they get home from school.
01:00:46They have been severely traumatized by this event.
01:00:49And this, to me, is the greatest tragedy of all.
01:00:54All this damage by someone who still shows absolutely no remorse for her actions.
01:01:02The bullet is still lodged in the base of my brain and causes me constant pain and suffering.
01:01:08The future holds numerous operations.
01:01:11And if there is any unnatural movement of the bullet, I am faced with paralysis and perhaps even death.
01:01:19I understand you have a letter written by your daughter, Jessica, that you'd like to read.
01:01:26Thank you for putting Amy Fisher in jail.
01:01:30She has done so many bad things to my family and I.
01:01:35Please make Amy Fisher stay in jail for a very long time so she can't hurt my mom again.
01:01:44My daddy, brother Paul, and I love her very much.
01:02:09So far, the seductive teenager has stuck to her story that she had a steamy romance with Mary Jo Barafico's
01:02:16husband, Joey Barafico, who isn't in the courtroom today.
01:02:19At an earlier news conference, he once again claimed he never had sex with the accused.
01:02:25I have a brief statement.
01:02:28Amy Fisher is a liar and has zero credibility.
01:02:31She knows that.
01:02:33I know she's a liar.
01:02:34I know she has no credibility.
01:02:36That's all I'm going to say.
01:02:37Joey! Joey!
01:02:41You are a tragedy and disgrace to yourself, to your family, to your friends and to society.
01:02:50And you deserve no less than the maximum sentence I can impose by law.
01:02:55For many months, you had stalked Mary Jo Barafico like a wild animal stalks its prey.
01:03:04Motivated by lust and passion, you were a walking stick of dynamite with the fuse lit.
01:03:12Amy Fisher, you're sentenced to five to fifteen years in prison.
01:03:21Do you have anything you wish to say to the court?
01:03:24Or to Mrs. Barafico?
01:03:29If I could change everything, I would.
01:03:32If I could put my hand over her face and make it go away, I would.
01:03:38I don't want to be the Amy Fisher that stands here today.
01:03:41I want to be the Amy Fisher I was before I met Jo Barafico in November of 1990.
01:04:02Do you still believe your husband didn't sleep with Amy Fisher?
01:04:05Do you feel sorry for her at all?
01:04:07You don't need to talk to her, okay?
01:04:08Amy Fisher is a liar, not to mention an attempted murderer.
01:04:13And the DA is taking her word over Joey's.
01:04:17I am not going to let this one person destroy our lives.
01:04:23There you have it.
01:04:37You're Mary Jo Barafico, right?
01:04:40You've been through so much, I am a big fan.
01:04:47I am so embarrassed.
01:04:49Sorry.
01:04:50No.
01:04:51It's okay.
01:04:52Have a nice day, alright?
01:04:54Yeah.
01:04:54Is it true what they're saying?
01:04:55That Amy Fisher can describe, you know, Joey's privates?
01:04:59I developed this weird ability to ignore what anyone was saying.
01:05:04I still believed Joey.
01:05:06I was in pain, mental and physical, and on way too many drugs to know the difference.
01:05:11Not to mention being raised Catholic in the 60s absolutely shaped my view of what was right and wrong.
01:05:18Catholics don't get divorced.
01:05:20One time when Joey and I temporarily separated, my mother said this is what happens when you don't have Jesus
01:05:26in your life.
01:05:27That was her answer to everything I was going through.
01:05:31Everyone close to us still believed Joey.
01:05:33Even when one of his former employees told a talk show Joey had admitted to sleeping with Amy Fisher.
01:05:38And the DA filed charges because of it.
01:05:45I keep telling you, that former employee is just trying to stir up trouble. None of what he says on
01:05:50TV is true.
01:05:55You want me to go to trial to get sentenced for something I never did?
01:05:59Six counts of statutory rape, twelve counts of sodomy, one count of endangering the welfare of a child?
01:06:08If you never did any of it, why did the grand jury indict you?
01:06:15And why would going to trial be a problem, Joey?
01:06:19Our lawyer says taking the plea deal is the safe bet.
01:06:23Even though you and me, we both know I never did what that girl said.
01:06:39Hey, no, no, no. None of that's true. Don't get yourself worked up.
01:06:44How is this all going to be done?
01:06:47I could save my face, or I could save my butt.
01:06:50And be here with you and the kids where I belong.
01:07:02This is the last of it. All right? The last of this awful nightmare.
01:07:06I take the plea, and then we can finally move on and get the happy ever after.
01:07:11That you, me, and a kiss deserve.
01:07:13This was yet another wake-up call, but I wasn't ready to wake up.
01:07:19Instead, I numbed myself with pills, believed harder, held on even tighter to a version of Joey that didn't really
01:07:28exist.
01:07:32When this relationship began, I was not just a 16-year-old teenager taken to bed by a man over
01:07:38twice my age.
01:07:40I was a 16-year-old teenager shown a world that I was not ready for.
01:07:44A world of elaborate spending and fast boats.
01:07:48This man took me to expensive restaurants and cheap motels.
01:07:55I hope whatever sentence you might impose today will send a message to other teenagers who might be tempted by
01:08:00men like Mr. Buttafuoco.
01:08:06I know with all my heart that if Mr. Buttafuoco had permitted me to cross the bridge between adolescence and
01:08:12adulthood unmolested, I would not be where I am today.
01:08:45I cannot accept your plea unless, in fact, you are guilty.
01:08:50Please, tell me.
01:08:57On July 2nd, 1991, I had sexual relations with Amy Fisher at a motel.
01:09:16There is a family involved here.
01:09:19Joseph, Mary Jo's father, in-laws, children.
01:09:24That's the kind of man Joey is.
01:09:27He did all he could do in that courtroom so that everybody else's life could go free.
01:09:31Joey, why didn't Mary Jo accompany you here today?
01:09:33Last night, Mary Jo had a rough night.
01:09:36Last night, Mary Jo had a rough night.
01:09:36Her true pain is for her children.
01:09:39That's all we're saying.
01:09:48These are for the walls in your cell, Daddy.
01:09:50It's not a cell, baby.
01:09:52It's a room.
01:09:53So you don't forget about us.
01:09:54These are great, Jess.
01:09:59How about you, champ?
01:10:00You doing all right?
01:10:02I don't know.
01:10:03This isn't right, Joey.
01:10:05Bringing the kids here to visit you of all places, huh?
01:10:09You know, the lawyer says I'll get off early.
01:10:11Four months instead of six.
01:10:13Then it'll be like that unless ever happened.
01:10:15Yeah, maybe not for the both of us, huh?
01:10:18You wait and see, Mary Jo.
01:10:19I'm going to prove it to you.
01:10:20Everything gets better from this moment.
01:10:24Look what her daughter drew for me, huh?
01:10:27Pretty good.
01:10:29Is that me and the orange?
01:10:30Come on.
01:10:31After the statutory rape conviction, when Joey got out of jail,
01:10:34the neighborhood threw a huge party.
01:10:36Joey came home a triumphant hero.
01:10:40Nothing he did or was accused of changed the opinions of those closest to him.
01:10:45Not our friends.
01:10:46Not our family.
01:10:48Not me.
01:10:50Not yet.
01:11:01Hello?
01:11:02Don't be upset.
01:11:04What am I not supposed to be upset about, Joey?
01:11:07It's the whole of the night here.
01:11:09Huh?
01:11:13I, uh, I was arrested for solicitation here in L.A.
01:11:22What?
01:11:25You swore you were going to stay out of trouble while you were on the west coast.
01:11:28It was a total setup.
01:11:30I, I'm innocent.
01:11:31You forget that you're on parole?
01:11:33Hmm?
01:11:34No, I talked to the lawyer.
01:11:35He's, he's going to clear it all up.
01:11:37Yeah, and what, what about the next time, Joey?
01:11:40Huh?
01:11:41Everything's just going to get cleared up for you again?
01:11:45Because everything's about you, right?
01:11:48You know, all the news just makes everything about Amy.
01:11:52And at the end of the day, nobody cares about the woman walking around with a bullet permanently
01:11:57She's really stuck in her jaw.
01:12:00Sweetheart, we're going to clear this up, okay?
01:12:07Hmm?
01:12:11Hmm?
01:12:14Hmm?
01:12:15Hmm?
01:12:15Hmm?
01:12:16Hmm?
01:12:17With Joey, it always wasn't him.
01:12:20It didn't happen this way, he didn't give her the money, whatever.
01:12:23It was the same crap I heard over and over again.
01:12:32I needed the pills to function.
01:12:34I wasn't getting high.
01:12:36I was avoiding incredible pain.
01:12:39Physical, and I now realize, mental.
01:12:42The pills dulled my mind and my instincts.
01:12:45I relied on drugs for seven long years.
01:12:48But eventually, even they couldn't numb the depths of what I was feeling.
01:12:53After Joey's arrest in L.A., I went into a spiral of depression.
01:12:58At this point, I just wanted to be dead.
01:13:12I didn't know where else to turn, what else to do.
01:13:19Mom?
01:13:21It's been like three days you've been in here.
01:13:34Mommy?
01:13:38Jess?
01:13:40You scared me.
01:13:44Sorry, honey.
01:13:45I just...
01:13:47I didn't even feel like doing much the past two days of his sleep, you know?
01:13:51All me and Paul want is to see you happy.
01:13:55Okay?
01:13:56I know that, sweetheart.
01:13:58But...
01:14:00The paralysis from the bullet is permanent.
01:14:03One half of my face is never gonna work right.
01:14:06My face?
01:14:08But that doesn't mean I don't love you and Paul with all my heart, okay?
01:14:18Oh, thank you.
01:14:20You're too good to me.
01:14:22Come here.
01:14:24I love you.
01:14:25It was the lowest point in my life, and I gave up fighting.
01:14:32Nothing was getting better.
01:14:34I was so torn up on the inside, so depleted.
01:14:39I actually researched carbon monoxide poisoning.
01:14:42That's how low I sunk.
01:14:45I didn't think there was any way out for me or my kids.
01:14:49Thank God, I finally realized I wasn't thinking with a clear mind.
01:15:02I finally decided if the bullet still lodged in my head hadn't done me in,
01:15:06then I was gonna have to somehow find a way to go on.
01:15:11Are you sure about this?
01:15:13Mm-hmm.
01:15:13Is this the best idea?
01:15:14Yeah, well, I wouldn't be footing the bill if I didn't.
01:15:19You remind me that there's still good in the world.
01:15:21You know that?
01:15:24I could say the same to you, Mary Jo.
01:15:28Look, we both know that pills aren't the answer.
01:15:31Not ultimately.
01:15:33But it's time you treated yourself after all this mental pain you've been suffering through.
01:16:08You gotta help me, alright?
01:16:10You gotta at least give me my prescription, okay?
01:16:13Please?
01:16:16Please!
01:16:17Mary Jo, it can get better from this moment if you decide to make this your rock bottom.
01:16:42You can do this.
01:16:46I'll get you some water.
01:16:48Mm-hmm.
01:16:56Thank you for sharing.
01:16:58And what about shame?
01:17:01Oh, definitely me.
01:17:04Sorry, did you, did you say fame or shame?
01:17:06Mm-hmm.
01:17:07I don't really know what's worse.
01:17:10The fact that I, I never wanted to be famous or the fact that I, I really love being a
01:17:20mom
01:17:20and a wife.
01:17:21And I know that that's not popular to say nowadays, but it's true.
01:17:31I loved it.
01:17:34I never wanted to be recognized in public, least of all for having a life altering injury,
01:17:38or for people thinking that I'm, I'm an idiot for, for desperately trying to honor my wedding vows,
01:17:44you know?
01:17:47I never wanted any of this.
01:17:53Not for me and, and, uh, especially not for, for my, for my kids, you know?
01:18:02From what you shared, I'm not sure that was a choice you made for them.
01:18:28Mm-hmm.
01:18:32Jessie, boo, come here, come here, come here, come here.
01:18:34We missed you so much.
01:18:35Oh my God, I missed you so much.
01:18:37Thank you for your letters and your drawings.
01:18:41Where's your father?
01:18:43He couldn't make it.
01:18:44Don't worry about it.
01:18:45Forget I said anything.
01:18:46I'm just so happy you're here.
01:18:48You look great.
01:18:49Kinda happy.
01:18:50Just kinda?
01:18:52From now on, we're gonna be really happy.
01:18:56You know, my time in here did me a lot of good.
01:18:59I can finally let go, move on, got my power back.
01:19:05And that means I gotta forgive.
01:19:07Forgive?
01:19:08Who?
01:19:19Go ahead, Miss Fisher.
01:19:20I'd like to say something to Mary Jo.
01:19:30What happened to you wasn't your husband's fault, wasn't your fault, wasn't my father's fault, and wasn't anybody else's fault.
01:19:38It was my fault.
01:19:40It was my fault.
01:19:40And I have spent the last seven years trying to figure it out.
01:19:46It was my fault, and I'm sorry.
01:19:54I'm sorry.
01:19:57Mrs. Butterfugel?
01:20:11Amy Fisher has shown great remorse and sorrow for what she did to me.
01:20:19You're being given a second chance in life, and I pray that you take it and make something good out
01:20:25of something tragic.
01:20:36I'm sorry.
01:20:37I'm truly very sorry.
01:20:47People always ask, why did I forgive the person who tried to kill me?
01:20:52It wasn't for Amy Fisher's sake, I promise you.
01:20:56It was for me.
01:20:58Back then, I still had a lot to figure out.
01:21:00About Joey.
01:21:02About myself.
01:21:03But I knew this much.
01:21:05I wasn't gonna let hate define me.
01:21:08Not anymore.
01:21:13Your Honor, given that my client now accepts full responsibility for the terrible act of seven years ago, and in
01:21:20light of her testimony, we're urging you to grant Miss Fisher parole.
01:21:26When I finally came to my senses and told my mother I was leaving Joey, she didn't speak to me
01:21:31for four months.
01:21:32I was wrong.
01:21:34He was right.
01:21:35I was the bad Catholic.
01:21:37That's the stronghold Joey still had on everyone who knew him.
01:21:42One day, I just looked at that picture of our family, covered Joey's face with my thumb, and realized me
01:21:48and the kids were better off without him.
01:21:53I know you might be wondering if there was some big moment that caused me to finally leave Joey, some
01:21:58dramatic confrontation or giant revelation, but it wasn't like that.
01:22:04It was more like death by a thousand cuts.
01:22:07It took years and years before I realized Joey was never gonna change, and it was time for me to
01:22:12reclaim my power, my life.
01:22:15I was finally done with him, once and for all.
01:22:19Today, our son Paul has a limited relationship with him.
01:22:24Jesse and I don't speak to him at all.
01:22:26And yes, people still ask me about Amy Fisher.
01:22:29Needless to say, we aren't in touch.
01:22:31The gun went off by accident.
01:22:33Her version of events has changed over the years since she shot me.
01:22:36It was Joey who told me to go up to the door, point the gun, and keep firing.
01:22:40Her truths aren't necessarily mine.
01:22:42I took the plea deal on account. I get parole three years after I went to jail.
01:22:47Amy Fisher's story is hers to tell.
01:22:50Mine is about survival.
01:22:52About refusing to let what she did define the rest of my life.
01:22:56Me and my kids are still here.
01:22:59We're still standing. We're still smiling.
01:23:02That's our victory.
01:23:04And would you believe I even got married again?
01:23:07Stu Tendler and his children were a wonderful gift.
01:23:11Each of them showing Paul, Jesse, and me what it meant to be part of a family that loved and
01:23:16was committed to one another.
01:23:18Even though the marriage didn't last, Stu reminded me of my worth.
01:23:21And that led to yet another surgery that was completely unexpected.
01:23:25You really think I'm going to be able to smile again, Dr. Izzy, today?
01:23:29I've been dealing with this frozen look for so long, it feels like I've, you know, kind of given up
01:23:33hope.
01:23:34There's certain muscles keeping your paralysis from improving.
01:23:38What I'm talking about is rewiring your nerves.
01:23:41My mom doesn't think of herself as pretty or beautiful.
01:23:44And when the complete opposite is true.
01:23:46She's the most beautiful person I know.
01:23:49The surgery will be intense.
01:23:51I'd be using a nerve stimulator to identify which microscopic nerves are working and which are misfiring.
01:23:57Well, Mary Jo, what do you say?
01:23:59My smile was there all along, mind you.
01:24:01Just hidden.
01:24:02But it was always under the surface.
01:24:05Thanks to Jesse and Paul, who, through everything, always gave me a reason to be happy.
01:24:11Now Dr. Azizadeh was offering me a chance to show my smile to the world again.
01:24:19Mom?
01:24:21How are you?
01:24:22So can you smile now or what?
01:24:29I don't know.
01:24:32Try to tell me a joke.
01:24:35Dad.
01:24:39Mom?
01:24:41Doctor said it's going to get even better.
01:24:45You're amazing.
01:24:46To this day, Joey doesn't accept any responsibility for the lives he wrecked.
01:24:51He never apologized to Paul or Jesse.
01:24:54He couldn't even admit to me in person that he really did sleep with Amy Fisher.
01:24:59Speaking of causes for celebration, May 15th is around the corner.
01:25:03Must we celebrate when you're getting older?
01:25:06Duh.
01:25:07That's kind of what people do on their birthdays, Mom.
01:25:10Yeah, I think I'd rather celebrate shooting day on May 19th.
01:25:16Oh my gosh.
01:25:18That's genius.
01:25:19The three of us, celebrating everything we survived on the actual date, everything about our lives changed?
01:25:25Yeah, I wasn't certain I was being serious about that.
01:25:30Shooting day.
01:25:30I'm in.
01:25:32We're gonna take back that date that's always brought us shame and fear.
01:25:35And we're gonna make it our own.
01:25:41Who are you calling?
01:25:43I'm making restaurant reservations at our favorite Italian place for May 19th.
01:25:47Mom, you're a genius.
01:25:51So, that's what we do now.
01:25:54Every May 19th, Paul, Jesse and I get together and celebrate Survival Day.
01:26:00Because it's our day.
01:26:02And no one else's.
01:26:04We're finally through being a spectacle.
01:26:07And done with letting that date pull us back into the misery of what was in the past.
01:26:11I am Mary Jo Badafuoco.
01:26:14I'm alive.
01:26:16I'm grateful.
01:26:17I'm at peace.
01:26:19And I'm smiling.
01:26:56I'm loving God.
01:26:56I am things like, when we need ourisini.
01:26:56I'm very, very hungry.
01:26:57Yes, of course.
01:26:57I've been through synня p.
01:26:57bold.
01:26:57Yes, he does not.
01:27:08No one else's husband.
01:27:09I'm fantastic.
01:27:09No one else's.
01:27:10We need this to do whatever you want.
01:27:10No one else's.
01:27:11Who's good.
