Amanda Blaies Rinaldi

Deadly force

She is definitely dead--I put two to the chest and one to the head. That's what Anthony Rinaldi--now a former Department of Corrections officer--told a Department of Public Safety officer, less than 30 minutes after fatally shooting his wife, 28-year-old Amanda Rinaldi, at the Phoenix home the couple shared. Rinaldi, 26, also told detectives he "snapped" as the two were arguing and that his "military training kicked in" before gunning down his wife.
