At this time, we are taking a first dismissal in this case to allow for further investigation that the San Francisco Police Department must complete prior to the preliminary hearing in this matter. This action does not impact our ability to refile charges at a later time when the evidence has been received and assessed.
"The investigation, in my opinion, was very shoddy and unprofessionally done," said defense attorney Bill Fazio in an interview after the hearing. "They arrested Mr. Rodgers-Alcala before they had substantial evidence that he was involved in any wrongdoing, let alone a murder."
