- <p>A grand jury says it's Joey Buttafuoco's turn to face the music
- </p>
- <p> Until last week, it was tempting to call him Lucky Joey. When
- 17-year-old Amy Fisher came to his Massapequa, New York, house
- last year packing a gun, his wife got shot, but Joey Buttafuoco
- escaped without a nick. When a grand jury investigated Fisher's
- claims of statutory rape against him, Buttafuoco denied the
- charges, and once again came away unscathed. Now Buttafuoco's
- luck may be running out: another grand jury indicted him on
- reopened statutory rape charges, which carry a possible
- sentence of 73 years. Brought to court in a sharp suit, sharp
- tie and handcuffs, he pleaded not guilty. At his side was his
- wife Mary Jo, with fragments of Fisher's bullet still buried in
- her head. "I know Joey," she said, loyal as ever. "I believe in
- him."
