Dawn of the pronouns

Quick: Who's doing what to whom in this Fox lede?

"Long Island Lolita" Amy Fisher says she feels "no sympathy" for Mary Jo Buttafuoco, the woman she shot as a teenager when she was sleeping with her husband — even though she still has the bullet in her brain.

And a few more items from today's FoxWatcher quiz:
  • Who besides the Long Island Lolita is well known enough to be shown in a photo with no identification?
  • Identify four other stories on the "Latest News" list that received enough attention to warrant being credited to Fox News, rather than an agency.

And this paragraph is also not helping my headache (or clarity):

"As a teenager, Fisher was sent to prison for seven years for shooting Buttafuoco, the wife of her former lover, Joey Buttafuoco. Buttafuoco, twice her age, served time for statutory rape for having sex with a 16-year-old."

Fisher ... went to prison for shooting Buttafuoco ... who went to prison for statutory rape? Or is it that Joey Buttafuoco went to prison for statutory rape? Or ... or...?
