It's not explained too well in the movie, but the book talks about how the Don made a check into his background in Nevada and found his character lacking. [/b]
I had a quick re-cap on the book since it's a yr at least since I read it!! The only reference I found to Carlos Nevada background was this passage Don Corleone,of course,sent trusted friends to Nevada and they reported that Carlo's police trouble was a youthful indiscretion with a gun,not serious,that could easily be wiped off the books to leave the youth with a clean record..... !!!!!
Another telling chapter later on after the wedding says, And Carlo Rizzi was turning out to be a real loser.He had been fixed up with a nice little business and was running it into the ground.He was also drinking,whoring around and gambling,and beating his wife up occasionally..

Anyway, whatever, I think we all agree he wasnt worthy of the family lol
