Todd Rizzo, 38, White, was resentenced to life in prison for the 1997 death of a 13-year-old boy, Stanley Edwards IV. Rizzo is one of several death row inmates whose sentences were revised after the state Supreme Court ruled in 2015 the death penalty was unconstitutional. Rizzo was 18 when prosecutors say he lured Edwards to his backyard and struck him with the sledgehammer 13 times. He later told police he wanted to know what it felt like to kill someone.
