courtroom in New York for the trial that had to happen the people versus Amy
Fisher
she's a attempted murder in the city of New York the scandal of Amy Fisher became
one of the senior sagas to hit the news in the last 10 years now in this fish a
cop the plea and went to jail she robbed the public of a trial leaving behind many
men who outlined the fence for Amy Fisher Marvin Kornberg the attorney for Mary Jo
Butterfuck oh and Joey Butterfuck oh will outline the prosecution now when
Hollywood made no less than three movies on the subject a hundred and twenty six
million Americans watched but this is not Hollywood this is a real courtroom
no script writers here the words you hear tonight will be the actual word
that was spoken by the main players in this ongoing drama and now the trial of
Amy Fisher
Joey seemed to have everything under control order
I will have Mary Jo testify as to what happened the fact that she subsequently
went to a lineup that she picked Amy Fisher out of a lineup I would then have
identified Amy Fisher in the courtroom as the person who shot her on that day
on May 19th Amy Fisher came to my home rang my doorbell and viciously and
deliberately assaulted me on the front porch of my home I was left for dead
with a 25 caliber bullet lodged in my head about one inch from my spinal cord
here's where the bullet went in they had to cut me open dislocate my jaw they had
to slice me here
I'm in a lot of pain I am in pain every day there's really no doubt about what
happened I mean obviously Amy Fisher had a gun that gun was used to shoot Mary
Jo but a puko one way or the other the real issue here is what is this really
all about we're looking at the tip of an iceberg I have learned that Amy Fisher
not only shot me on May 19th but also conspired to and in fact attempted to
murder me on two prior occasions there is evidence that an axe was purchased by
Amy Fisher not only for the purpose of killing but for the unforgivable purpose
of killing my children I want to know why is she so intent on hurting me and
hurting my children and even hurting my husband with the lie that she had fun
with the tales that she had fun about my husband why the next witness is Steven
Sleeman I would have him testify as to how he had sexual asexual affair or
many sexual affairs with Amy Fisher for the purpose of getting the gun she kept
saying she definitely wanted Mrs. Butterfuckum you know someone to shoot
his wife then she looked at me and said I want you to shoot his wife then she
says I could stab her that she could stab her I looked at her like what are
you gonna stab her with a kitchen knife I looked at her she was crazy I thought
she was nuts but then she said I could get a hatchet I would call the first
people at the scene for example the first police officer at the scene on May
21 1992 Nassau County Police picked up Amy Fisher as she was driving her 1990
Chrysler LeBaron on Merrick Road and arrested her for the attempted murder
of Mary Jo Butterfuckum now August 10 we recovered the weapon 25 caliber pistol
from a storm drain near Amy Fisher's home your honor I was present today that
Amy Fisher made a statement to the fact that she had shot Mrs. Butterfuckum
Amy Fisher here in the courtroom yes sir could you please point her out that is Amy
Fisher now Amy Fisher takes the stand and makes allegations that cast the
cloud of the ongoing drama I'm not asking for sympathy I just want to tell
the people my story because they heard everybody else's story I just want them
to know the truth and what is the truth the truth is everything I'm telling you
that I had an affair with Joe Butterfucko for 10 months that he wanted
his wife dead and he tried to get me to carry that out for him how do I get 12
people on a jury to come to the conclusion that they can trust and
believe what Amy Fisher says as true attorney Lawrence Hawkeye's is outlining
the defense Amy Fisher the young kid doesn't just go out and shoot someone in
the neck for nothing this isn't a crime for profit this isn't sticking up a gas
station and killing somebody he said he didn't want to deal with her anymore and
that will be together and I listened Marvin Kornberg the attorney for Mary Joe
and Billy Butterfucko is outlining the prosecution if Amy Fisher attempted to
use as a defense the Joey made me do it defense if you will that she was
counseled by Joe into doing this I would move that the judge rule that that type
of evidence is inadmissible and I would argue that it is not a defense to murder
objection your honor of all this is time I'd like to hear what the witness has
to say
well so far we've seen Mary Joe Butterfucko describe the agony of her
wounds we've seen Amy Fisher take the stand in her defense and there's much
more to come next on the current affair extra the verdict is in Amy Fisher here
at the jury's decision
will the defendant please write how do you find the defendant Amy Fisher
guilty or not that's next and later find out why the motion picture Academy may
be presenting this woman with a lawsuit I certainly don't hate this I don't care
about someone bit plus he's the groom that got goose by an uninvited guest in
the neck is this long and the key and the in the the big question is on opening
like this going to your eyes if you have exclusive home videotape you think we
should see you can call us at 1-800-we-saw-it that's 1-800-we-saw-it
cows from all over the country make milk and dairy products but Washington cows

D.B.'s family restaurant.
Well, I reckon they don't like my manners.
What happened?
Well, I was eatin' and a-shoutin' and a-spittin' and food is flyin' all over the place.
Ha!
Broke the window, cross away.
Hehehehehe!
Yes, folks, come on into D.B.'s family restaurant and you'll eat and shout.
Well, eat it up, baby!
Now, eat it up, baby!
D.B.'s family restaurant.
They'll have you eatin' and shoutin'.
Yeah, just make sure you ain't eatin' and shoutin' at the same time.
Hehehehe!
Hey.
Hmm?
You hear that?
What?
It's quiet.
There's no coughing.
Oh, uh-hmm.
What'd you give her?
Something new.
Really?
Where'd you get it?
Uh, Payless Drugs.
The pharmacist recommended it.
Well, that's what I call a good pharmacist.
Uh-huh.
Maybe now she'll get some sleep.
Lucky her.
What do you mean?
Honey.
Oh, oh.
Good night.
Good night.
Payless.
The drug store.
Worth talking about.

Lower back pain.
Neck pain.
Upper back pain.
There are all kinds of back pain.
Don't release them all with an ingredient these brands don't have.
We'll leave back pain with Don'ts, the back specialist.
I think it's healthy for a man to make friends with a washing machine.
We design whirlpool washers so just about anyone in the family can use them.
I don't ask him to do a wash often, so when he does, I want to be sure it's done right.
Whirlpool washers have a self-balancing system to help prevent most lopsided loads from stopping
in mid-cycle.
I never got any help.
I was born too early.
Whirlpool.

A cold isn't always just here.
Sinuses can get congested too.
That's why there's Advil Cold and Sinus.
One ingredient for eggs and pains, another for sinus congestion.
It's all connected.
Advil Cold and Sinus.
Advanced formula for the cold season.
The evidence is in.
Amy's back in the hot seat and Joe Butterfucko strikes back.
Now Steve Dunleavy takes us back inside the courtroom for the compelling conclusion of
the people versus Amy Fisher.
Here's where the balls were in.
They had to cut me open.
I had an affair with Joe Butterfucko for 10 months.
That he wanted his wife dead.
She always seemed to have everything under control.
He explained to me that nothing could go wrong.
He also explained to me that this wasn't like killing and that I was doing it for him.
And that his wife was an evil person and she deserved this.
I went to hit her on the back of the head.
I hit her again and the gun went off.
I just ran away.
If I could make her pain go away, if I could change things, I would.
If I could just put my hand over her face and make it go away, I would.
Her entire family and my entire family have been absolutely destroyed.
Do you deserve to be punished?
Absolutely.
I didn't mean to do it, but I still did it and I know I have to be punished.
She'd be faced with the question of credibility.
She would be faced with her tapes that have been shown in the various media.
How many men did you sleep with?
About 20.
Over the course of how long?
Six months.
I mean, don't worry about business.
I'm just going to tell a lie to you.
I had an ability to just develop this defense mechanism and put up walls.
And I could do that and I could just take a shower and just go like this and act like nothing was wrong.
After Amy Fischer's testimony, the defense calls Joey Barufuco and has zero credibility.
She knows that.
I know she's a liar.
I know she has no credibility.
She's a tramp, a prostitute, a slut, and an attempted murderer.
That's what Amy Fischer is.
Attorney Lawrence Hockheiser outlines the defense by Amy Fischer.
Was there romance? Was there sex?
What kind of romance? What kind of sex between a grown man and a young kid like this?
These are the questions that I would explore at a trial.
No question about it.
We were friends.
Over a year, we were doing repair work on a car and business for the family.
We did develop a friendship.
But I have not been charged with any crime.
That's number one.
Number two, there are a group of people that are going to believe always what they want to believe.
Nothing that I say or do will change that.
And I can deal with that.
It's just a shame that they're making this shooting an affair between Amy Fischer and I,
when the real crime here is that Amy Fischer shot Mary Jo.
That's the issue.
Despite the denials, there is one outstanding question.
Hotel receipts which report to show that Joey Butterfooker met Amy Fischer at a local motel.
In the motel? I mean, after all, did this happen or didn't it happen?
Marvin Cornberg, Joey Butterfooker's attorney, outlines the prosecution of Amy Fischer.
Assuming they put Joe Butterfooker on a stand, assuming they show Joe Butterfooker in the hotel receipts
and Joe Butterfooker denied that those hotel receipts are his, they're bound by that answer.
They can't go beyond that answer.
I never had an affair with Amy Fischer.
I never slept with Amy Fischer.
She's a liar.
And she's sick.
My job as a defense attorney is to recognize that whether a person is a prostitute, whatever she is,
she's still a human being and she still deserves some measure of compassion, some measure of understanding.
You would have to tell a jury that keep your eye on the ball, so to speak.
That Joey made me do it is not a defense to the crime of attempted murder.
The trial of Amy Fischer.
You've heard the prosecution.
The prosecution read.
You've heard the defense.
The defense read.
And now, the destiny of Amy Fischer, the Long Island lowlater.
Has the jury agreed upon a verdict?
Yes, we have, Your Honor.
Will the foreman please rise?
Will the defendant please rise?
How do you find the defendant, Amy Fischer, guilty or not guilty?
Guilty.
Order. Come to order.
I'm sure the next thing we'll see is Amy Fischer's memoirs or something like that.
She's probably writing one right now.
And you know, more than likely, it will sell.
Well, she's got plenty of time on her hands, as we all know.
