The man convicted of 2nd degree murder in the death of long-time Frank Sinatra friend Jilly Rizzo in May of 1992 may be getting out of prison this summer.

News Channel 3 has learned Jeffrey Perrotte has been found suitable for parole.

An official with the California Board of Parole hearings tells us Perrotte now faces a 120 day review process.

Then, there will be a 30 day review by the Governor’s office.

Depending on the outcome of those reviews, Perrottee could be released from prison in August.
