I emailed a note to a reporter who had covered this wierd Rizzo case and got this reply. I just asked if there were any more updates and if he had been charged with his wifes death.

Doesn't say a whole lot but I thought I would share it.

Anne:
In searching our archives the last mention of Rizzo's case was in 2000, when the DA dropped four felony charges against him stemming from the standoff and a separate drug case. The 1st Assistant DA did not make himself available for comment regarding the dismissal. Apparently the prosecution ran into problems with inadmissable evidence and witness testimony, especially from the girlfriend he assaulted. But he was sentenced to 14 months in prison for assault.
As for the girlfriend with whom he was fighting, she was assaulted, but not with life-threatening injuries.
According to our story, Rizzo should have been released from prison about one year ago.
Thank you,
