419 - Joey Buttafuoco and Amy "The Long Island Lolita" Fisher

419 - Joey Buttafuoco and Amy "The Long Island Lolita" Fisher

Do you remember when seventeen-year-old Amy Fisher shot the wife of her thirty-five-year-old lover, Joey Buttafuoco, in the face in May of 1992? At the time, I was too young to really give this story any attention, but what a wild story it is! Today, we get a little tabloid-esque, but also share the history of the cringey term "Lolita" and discuss the recent history of "age of consent" laws in this cautionary tale.
