The Deadly Affair of Amy Fisher and Joey Buttafuoco - August 21 2023 Aug 21, 2023

Show notes

August 21st: Amy Fisher Born (1974)
The media can completely alter a case without a second thought. On August 21st 1974 a young girl was born who would be thrust into the media spotlight for a crime she committed at the age of just 17. A case that, depending on what news source you consumed, had a few very different schools of thought when it came to who was a victim, who was not, and who should be held responsible for the crime.
