Dr. Hamid Mirshojae's widow is suing the his ex-wife, who is now accused of planning his murder.
Mirshoje was ambushed, shot in the parking lot of his medical office. Prosecutors say this murder-for-hire plot was organized and funded by ex-wife, Ahang Mirshojae. And according to a new lawsuit the plotting did not end with the doctor's death. The lawsuit claims the ex-wife is plotting to get real estate and other properties, for herself and the three grown children the former couple had.
New wife and widow, Ghazal Simorgh, has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Ahang Mirshojae and the others accused in the killing.
Dr. Hamid Mirshojae and his new wife have a six-month-old daughter. He also has the three children from the first marriage, which ended in an ugly divorce and legal battles that have continued for 15 years.
Dr. Hamid Mirshojae and his first wife, Ahang Kelk Mirshojae, began divorce proceedings in 2009 when he applied for a restraining order to keep her away from their $6 million marital home. In the petition, he cited "physical violence," accusing Ahang of repeatedly punching him. Legal disputes have continued since. Ahang Mirshojae managed the office of the Woodland Hills Medical Clinic and remained an employee there until 2016, when Dr. Mirshojae reportedly caught her embezzling substantial sums from the clinic.
Dr. Mirshojae continued his standard practice. An hour after closing Woodland Hills Medical Clinic and Urgent Care for the day, he was ambushed by a masked gunman near his SUV around 5:30 p.m. The LAPD arrived 42 minutes later to find the 61-year-old primary care and emergency physician with a gunshot wound to the back of the head. He was pronounced dead at the scene. Police say a single gunman fled on foot. The investigation led officers to his ex-wife.

medical clinic for the night and walked to his vehicle
in the parking lot, a masked man emrriage from hiding
around the corner of the clinic and ran toward him
from a close distance. The suspect fired at doctor marsha

back toward the rear of the clinic and away from
the scene.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
A beloved family practice doctrine dead in the parking lot
of his own clinic.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
Now, let's think this thing through to Israel.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
Salth Rodriguez joining US, senior news reporter at US son Israel.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
Thank you for being with us. Let me understand, this
is rapid fire. This is right.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
As he leaves his office, correct his clinic, yes, no, yes, correct,
walking to his car right, yes, correct, masked man, a
masked man correct correct, no robbery, no sex attack, correct
act and the math man flees apparently to a waiting car, joining.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
Me as a very special guest.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
The brother of the so called doctor to the stars
joining us as Ali reisa show J doctor, thank you
for being with us.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
Doctor was show J.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
When did you learn that your brother, the so called
doctor to the stars, had been killed? And when you
were first told did you realize he had been murdered
or did you think he died of natural causes of
someone in some way?
Speaker 5 (04:41):
Well, my wife and I we were driving going to
my parents' house, meeting my brother and celebrating murder progress
of my dad and his treatment for his pancreatic cancer.
On our way, a common friend called us and he
insisted that I contact my brother on the phone and
see and asked for his is whereabout? So I did
(05:06):
several times, did an answer. He called me back. He
said you should go to his clinic and see what's
going on. And I said why and said you should.
Speaker 6 (05:14):
You must go.
Speaker 5 (05:14):
We heard shooting and I said, we're shooting. That's unusual.
So that basically got me worried. So I drove towards
his clinic due to the traffic. Once I get to
that intersection where his clinic was, I had to jump
out of the car because I saw the please yellow
crime tape all around the parking lot. So I ran
(05:37):
to the scene. The police didn't let me go forward,
and the only thing I could see was his boots
and his blue jean laying down on the ground on
his left side, facing his car. So the police started
asking me was he suicidal? Did he kill himself? And
I told him absolutely not. And I just also mentioned
(05:57):
the police that he had purchased the antibiotics for my
dad for his condition and he was supposed to deliver
it to the house today tonight, and at that time
adrenaline was pumped in, so I was very much alert
and hyped up and didn't really know what to do,
(06:23):
just shocked and very angry, very upset, and I'm generally
very calm guy, but that night, apparently people were telling
me I was pretty much not talking to anybody and
(06:43):
just trying to figure things out, which in that situations,
which is very unusual, you can't.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
Really you know, doctor you mentioned that they asked you
would he have committed suicide, and I'm going to follow
up in a moment with doctor eric Ason garning the
trajectory of the gunshot wounds. But you immediately said, no way.
This guy, your brother, had everything to live for.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
He had this gorgeous.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
New wife, the brand new baby.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
I mean, he was really and the happiest time of
his life, right.
Speaker 5 (07:25):
Absolutely, he was never happier. He looked even way better
than before he transformed into the way younger guy. I
would say, probably even fifteen twenty years younger than his
age and the newborn baby. So I never saw him happier.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
As a matter of fact, check out before and after
tell me doctor Ali Reisa mershow Jay, what led your brother,
who's a very handsome man, what led him to have
plastic surgery?
Speaker 5 (07:58):
Well, I'm not aware that he did to any extensive
plastic surgery aside from the botox and some hypo for
his wrinkle and all that. But he did lose weight
and he was working out. He was going to equinox
on daily basis. He did some implant hearing plant and
that made him look even better. The plastic surgery.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
It looks great.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
Where are you good, Ola, Resa? He looks amazing again.
Joining me in all star panel to makes sense of
what we know right now. But to doctor Eric Easton,
following up on what Dodtor Meir show Jate told us,
this is the victim's brother. Doctor Easton, board certified forensic
pathologist consultant, has performed so many autopsies, thousands of autopsies,
(08:49):
Doctor Ethan, thank you for being with us. Of course,
I understand why police are saying on the same could
he have committed suicide? But clearly the trajectory of the bullets,
in other words, their path front to back, side to side,
downward to upward, left to right and so forth, would
clearly indicate this was no suicide.
Speaker 6 (09:10):
Trajectory does help. Trajectories a piece of the puzzle when
determining whether a gunshot wound is a suicidal or homicidal.
But you also have location of the entrance wound. That's
very helpful. So suicides tend to be introoral or to
the temple area, whereas homicides are going to be like
random locations maybe to the back of the head. And
then also factor in circumstances and also witnesses. Witnesses said
(09:33):
somebody came up with a mask on and shot them,
and then the circumstances, I don't believe a gun was
found at the scene, and so that would strongly suggest
that this is not going to be a suicide and
inflicted by somebody else.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
Yeah, you know how eyewitnesses are always attacted trial by
people like Troy Slayton joining us right now, high profile
LA criminal defense attorney in this jurisdiction.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
Troy, there's no question this was a hit.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
Now, the circumstances surrounding the hit, we're not sure of
that yet. But for a masked man to run around
the corner perfectly timed for when the doctor who is
the so called doctor to the stars, beloved by all
comes out of his office, same time every day, Troy,
you and I've talked about this a million times. Comes
(10:21):
out of his clinic, same time as he does every day,
to head to his car. At that exact, that precise moment,
someone runs around the corner wearing a mask, shoots. No
sex attack, no robbery, no drug deal, nothing, and then
runs away.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
It's a hit.
Speaker 7 (10:38):
All the circumstances, including some witness accounts that said that
they saw this person, the alleged gunman walking around the
location for an hour before waiting for the doctor to
come out, all lead one to believe that this was
a pre planned, premeditated attack by somebody lying in wait.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Of course, one of the first places you look is
at his family, those closest to him. You look at
people he works with every day. You know, familiarity breeds contempt.
Who could possibly be angry at him within his own
clinic Listen.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
August twenty third is a regular day in the office
for doctor Ahmed Meerscherja. His new wife and baby are
away visiting her family, and the doctor leaves his clinic
about an hour after seeing his last patient for the day.
Nothing is out of the ordinary, but the unsold baseball
bat attack of less than three months ago is something
that has made the peaceful doctor a bit on edge.
Speaker 8 (11:39):
They were all streaming in the office when it happened
because they heard the shots.
Speaker 9 (11:43):
But you can see what's going on, and every big
ductors screamed in there.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
It was horrifying.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
Now, you were just hearing from our friends at Fox
eleven that was a former patient of the doctor.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
So everything was normal.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
In the office and when this went down, screaming, everyone
jumping on the floor. They hear gunshots, and of course
immediately Israel saw us Rodriguez joining us a senior news
reporter us Son. Immediately police arrive and start talking to
everyone at the scene, and everyone was accounted for in
(12:19):
that office. In other words, it was not a scenario where, oh,
the front desk secretary, the assistant vanished for an hour
and then she reappeared.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
Nothing like that.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
Everybody was there, everybody was shaken up, and they very
quickly ruled out anyone that he was working with.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
Isn't that right, Israel? Correct? Nancy?
Speaker 2 (12:42):
I want to talk about what we learned at the scene,
but first to Karen start joining me, renowned psychologist TV
radio trauma expert at karenstart dot com. That's Karen with
the c Karen, I was thinking about the details, the
unusual details that stuck.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
Out in the mind of our murder victim's brother.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
They grow up together, they both go to medical school,
they start their practices, and they live life.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
Then he gets a call.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Everyone's supposed to be getting together to celebrate, and the
brother doesn't show up.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
Did you notice the things that stuck out in his mind?
The crime scene tape.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
Seeing his brother's boot, seeing his brother's leg in blue
jeans lying there in the parking lot of his medical clinic.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
What does that mean? Karen Stark.
Speaker 10 (13:38):
Well, when you get that kind of sudden and just
there and you're in sudden shock, Nancy, what you will
notice are things that just immediately pop into your mind.
But there you're not really absorbing what you're seeing.
Speaker 9 (13:55):
So he sees a.
Speaker 10 (13:56):
Boot, he sees a leg, but I think he can't
really put it together because it's slow motion. It's kind
of booted leg body. What is this complete shock, not
able to digest what's happening to him?
Speaker 1 (14:14):
Right then? Crime stories with Nancy Grace jealousy, jealousy, jealousy.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
That's why they call it the green eyed monster.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
It's a monster.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
Once it gets a hold of you, apparently it won't
let you go. And that is what was literally consuming
Doctor Hamid's ex wife just consumed with jealousy. How many
times do you think she looked at the new wife's Facebook, Insta,
(14:54):
Twitter and the gorgeous pictures of the new wife and
the new baby ooh. In the last days, the good
doctor's graving family launches a lawsuit claiming the ex hang
hired a hitman to kill the doctor so she could
(15:14):
get his money and block the new and much younger
wife and the baby daughter from accessing those funds. What
more do we know about the death of the good doctor?
Speaker 3 (15:33):
Doctor Hamed Meershoj is the beloved doctor of his Woodland
Hills community in Los Angeles. But tragedy strikes when the
good doctor and father of four is mysteriously slain outside
his clinic.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
We keep saying doctor to the stars, and he was
exactly that before he was gunned down outside his own
medical clinic, listen to one of his patients.
Speaker 9 (15:56):
That was going through a divorce and even said to me, said, hey,
why don't we get together have lunch and talk you're
going through a divorce. I'm going through a divorce. Let's
just sit down and chat. That's how great of a
person he was. He was just really caring. And also, hey,
he's a doctor. He hurts too.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
In the years following this divorce, doctor Ahmed mierso j
finds love again and this time everything is wonderful. He
marries Gazelle Simorg. Together they welcome a beautiful little girl
into the world in his first two years of marriage,
and her name Avena.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
Straight out to the brother joining us, Doctor ali Resa
misho Ja, tell me about the second wife.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
How did that happen?
Speaker 5 (16:39):
I think that happened about They met about six years
ago and they got married, if I'm not wrong. In
two years after and van Hammid was shot his chiand
Avina was only six months old. And we had a
(17:01):
loving relationship. They had found to have exciting life. He
started feeling and acting and living young again.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
To Israel, saw us Rodriguez joining us from the US
Sun Israel. And I know that the second wife was
away visiting family with the baby at the time of
the murder.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
Is that right correct?
Speaker 8 (17:26):
She was in Turkey visiting family.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
Okay, so she's out because that's normally the first place
you look is that those closest to the victim. But
what's concerning is an incident that occurred a few months before.
Tell me about the attack with a baseball bat.
Speaker 8 (17:45):
Israel so Yes, a worker at doctor Hamid Major Jay's
clinic told investigators that three men snuck up behind doctor
Major j and attacked them with baseball.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
Back good gravy. The raisa what happened, Well, he.
Speaker 5 (18:05):
Didn't say what was the reason. And apparently the conversation
he had with those people that they came at him,
obviously they came at him slowly, and this they engaged
in a conversation and then suddenly Hamid tries to run away,
and he's telling me that he fell and he was
(18:29):
beating with the baseball bat, but he was able to
get up and run, so he doesn't get hurt too much.
But his back and his right right shoulder was injured.
And also he visited the Ortheedy doctor for rotator coughter
(18:49):
and he also spoke with me about his treatment for that.
He did not tell me or I don't know if
he knew or he didn't tell me, but he didn't
tell me what was the reason, and he didn't tell
me who did he suspect that initiated that attack. But
(19:16):
also he mentioned to me a few days later that
maybe a week after that attack, he saw the same
person who attacked him in the gas station and he
contacted the detective to come and get him, but unfortunately
the detectives were busy and they didn't have time to
do that. So he was very upset of that matter
(19:37):
as well.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
Doctor Ollie Reisa. Did he recognize the guys?
Speaker 5 (19:41):
He didn't know them, But the second time when he
saw the person who attacked him in the gas station,
he recognized that was one of those people.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
Tell me about his relationship with the first wife.
Speaker 5 (19:53):
Well, after they were divorced over fifteen years ago, they
had a continuous issues, legal issues and legal battles, and
they were going in and out of courts every month.
And as well as the confrontations. Because he was renting
(20:17):
the office in a shopping center that belonged to a hag,
that was also another factor that they had some interactions
that happened between them.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
Doctor miche Je, how did she respond to the remarriage
and the new baby.
Speaker 5 (20:36):
Well, after their divorce, I was not much in contact
with her, maybe overall, once or twice, a little short conversations.
But apparently what she told me was an occasion that
I at the funeral, as a matter of fact, that
he came to the burial my brother. I didn't want
(21:00):
them to see each other, so I asked her that, okay,
can you sit on this side so you don't see her.
She mentioned that she has nothing against her and she
doesn't even know her, so that was her response.
Speaker 9 (21:13):
She worked in the office with him. She was basically
running the office, and she was there every time I
saw doctor Amad. She would be there all the time.
She was the I guess running the whole clinic. She
was very friendly, very personable. The only problem was there
(21:35):
you could feel it. There was tension between her and
her husband, doctor Hami and she would be personable, he
would be personable, but boy, the tension was powerable between
the two of them.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
Doctor were show jay, when did you learn that police
law enforcement, they're in LAPD, we're looking at the ex
wife as a potential killer.
Speaker 5 (22:02):
Well, there's a question. At the night of the murder
accortunity third, the police asked me and asked several other
people that they knew my brother had made who do
we think that could have done this or who would
be the enemy or my brother? And we all didn't
have any name in common. I mean, we didn't have
(22:25):
anybody in mind. And the only thing that everybody was
aware was the conflict that Hamid and him had together
for many, many years. So that was the only thing
that came to everybody's mind at that night. And from
then on, I think the police kind of zero in
(22:45):
on her and continued their investigations.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
But here's the thing too, Ishiel saw us Rodriguez joining
us in the us son.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
The witness clearly saw a masked male run around the building,
not a female.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
That's correct, Nancy. How else was the purp described?
Speaker 8 (23:03):
He was described as a male suspect, Like you said,
a hooded was walking around the area, roaming around the clinic,
and he just came up from behind doctor and fired him.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
And I'm curious, Israel I understand that police rated the
ex wife's home and took out bag after bag after
bag of evidence. Do you have any idea what they
found in her home?
Speaker 8 (23:29):
Well, that Nancy is not disclosed yet. We know that,
like you said, this investigators went to her home in
Kylabasas and removed certain evidence from their residence.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
Whatever they found led to this.
Speaker 11 (23:44):
The horror in the betrayal of this crime is beyond words,
and it is with a heavy heart that we have
to announce these charges against against the ex wife of
doctor Hami Marshoji Haying Mrshojii, in addition to the other
co defendants. The depth of this deceit and violence involved
(24:06):
in this case is chilling, and we will not rest until.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
Justice has served and more.
Speaker 11 (24:12):
Back on August twenty third, mister Hardman, having been hired
by Ahang Mayrshojaii, goes ahead to a parking lot in
Woodland Hills, the parking lot at which doctor Hamich Mayrshojaii
had his medical practice. He was driven, as the accusations
(24:32):
have alleged by Ashley Sweeting, she brought mister Hardman to
that parking lot. He at that point goes ahead and
engages in the act of murder.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
To high profile lawyer out of LA joining us, Troy Slayton.
This is his jurisdiction, Troy, have you ever heard of
d I Y do it yourself? Whenever you have co defendants,
Everything goes right down the crapper.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
They cannot keep their yapps shut. Here you've got a
very crude.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
Attack on the doctor where else outside his clinic, caught
on video.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
Then the idiots, if.
Speaker 2 (25:15):
I go out on a limb and say that, are
spotted by him again at a gas station, he sees them,
he can identify them. Then within weeks he's gunned down.
Of course they're going to roll over.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
On the ex wife. It's a given. There's no honor
among thieves, Nancy.
Speaker 7 (25:36):
You know sometimes we say in criminal law and family
law that in family law you have generally good people
on their worst behavior, and in criminal law you have
sometimes bad people on their best behavior. And when you
have a mixture of criminal and family law, everything is
(25:57):
a mess.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
I don't know what you're saying about goodbehod behavior, bad behavior.
This is a father of a brand new baby girl
with a beautiful new wife. The baby party, you remember,
where she the baby excedentally knocks over the cake and
at first there's a stun silence, and then everybody starts laughing.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
Was it just what? One instagram too many?
Speaker 7 (26:22):
If you're asking me to explain to you why somebody
would hire another person to kill somebody I can't do it,
but what I can tell you is that.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
You do it every day of your life in court,
Roye Layton, don't tell me.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
You can't spit it out tonight.
Speaker 7 (26:39):
Look, Nancy, the facts are really bad in this case,
and if I was an attorney working on it, I'm
going to be looking at any other possible suspects. I'm
going to be looking at other possibilities other than the
ex wife because this is a pure circumstantial case and
(27:03):
that there's no eyewitness of the wife actually committing the murder.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
Or choice Layton, I'll be just having the transient to you,
there's no eyewitness of her committing the murder.
Speaker 1 (27:18):
Yeah, that's how a murder for hire usually goes.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
You hire somebody to do it so you're not at
the scene. You haven't wondered what was in all of
those bags they were carding out of her place.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
It's called evidence, Slaton, evidence.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
You don't see you if she was this angry about
the new wife and all those instances, I mean, those Instagram.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
Posts were pretty impressive. It looks straight out of a magazine.
Speaker 2 (27:42):
The new wife was gorgeous, apparently really sweet lady. Then
he seals the deal with a baby, even going so
far as to have plastic surgery to totally change his
appearance to please his new wife.
Speaker 12 (27:59):
And he does. They're happy, and the first wife just
couldn't stand it. Let me see Slaton. For Pete's sake,
can you imagine. I guarantee you it's going to come
out in evidence all the.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
Feverish tics and phone calls she had with her Hinch people.
According to the state, it's going to be a treasure troth. Really,
she and have the same people commit a bat attack,
a baseball bat attack in the parking lot where then
the same location and there's surveillance video. For Pete's sake,
(28:33):
then they come back for seconds and gun him down.
Oh yeah, there's going to be a trail a mile
wide Troy s Layton.
Speaker 7 (28:41):
So that's going to be the thing that police detectives
are honing in on this case as all of the
electronic evidence. They're going to be looking at every computer,
every telephone, every tablet, everything, and there's going to be
a lot of technical evidentiary objection to how this electronic evidence.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
Let me make you a lot phrase at you.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
You say that the electronic digital footprint is the strongest
evidence Latin phrase, they got a crap ton of evidence
from these code defendants. You think they want the other
the getaway girl, No, they don't want her. They want
the triggerman and they want the ex wife for obvious reasons.
(29:26):
The ex wife is going to be pegged as the mastermind,
if you could call it, the big criminal mastermind and
the trigger man because I'd like to see Troy Slayton,
because as you know, Troy, a jury will.
Speaker 1 (29:40):
Not take down the mastermind.
Speaker 2 (29:41):
If the Triggerman doesn't go down, they have to go
down together. Everybody else is icing on the cake. That's
the strongest evidence. The other co defendants will do.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
You know, the fbis in on this.
Speaker 2 (29:56):
The other code defendants will do whatever it takes to
save their own skin. They're going to rat out the
Triggerman and the x Y. It's a done deal.
Speaker 7 (30:05):
And that's why the district attorney decided to charge them
together in this case. These aren't separate cases that are
all traveling on their own criminal track. Everybody here in
this case has been charged together and the district attorney
is going to seek to try them together. If I
was the attorney on the case, one of the first
(30:26):
things that I would do is do a motion to
set ask for because I don't want a jury, and
I'm going to argue to the judge, I don't want
a jury to convict my client, my innocent client, just
because they don't like this other bad guy, and that
they'll impute some of the bad stuff about the co defendant.
Speaker 9 (30:44):
To my client.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
That you know what, because that's been gone, that's been
peeked through with a fine tooth come by the US
Supreme Court. You know those justices up in Washington that
sit in that big courtroom. Them they absolutely can be
tried together. I've tried plenty of code of fenits together
in a murder case.
Speaker 1 (31:06):
As Nancy, A, it's not a penalty case. A let
me rephrase.
Speaker 2 (31:11):
I keep hearing something, Oh it's you. A, it's not
a death penalty case. And B the state can exclude
I'm hearing it again. Exclude interlocking statements. Simply put, interlocking
statements is, for instance, I blame Troy Slayton, he blames
me in statements unless we take the stand. Those statements
(31:33):
cannot be cross examined under the sixth Amendment, so.
Speaker 1 (31:35):
They're kept out. Don't need them.
Speaker 2 (31:38):
So manstery short, they're going to be put in the
same pot to steal Slayton. And you can about severance
all you want to, but it's not going to happen.
Speaker 1 (31:49):
They're going to be tried and convicted together.
Speaker 7 (31:51):
This is a special circumstances case, which means that the
death penalty is not off the table. And although in
California the governor has moratorium on carrying out executions, there's
a new sheriff in town. There's a new DA who
is very tough on crime and is not afraid to
seek the death penalty in appropriate cases, unlike the past
(32:13):
district attorney. So it could very well be in this
case that they're going to seek the death penalty.
Speaker 1 (32:19):
Nancy, we'll burn that bridge when we get there. Meanwhile,
listen to this.
Speaker 11 (32:24):
At that point, another co defendant who has been charged
with the crime of murder as well as carried out
for financial gain and assault with a deadly weapon, Sarah
Lal Jahwed, is met by mister Hardman. Mister Johwed then
takes mister Hardman to the state of Texas, where mister
(32:46):
Hardman is eventually arrested.
Speaker 1 (32:54):
Crime stores with Nancy Grace.
Speaker 2 (33:00):
In this brand new lawsuit, the widow claims that the
ex wife spent weeks in her lawsuit, she says meticulously
planning the murder, Gosh weeks planning the murder, and then
(33:21):
enlisted the help of at least four others, promising them
thousands of dollars in payment after the murder.
Speaker 1 (33:33):
What happened in that parking lot?
Speaker 3 (33:35):
Doctor Hamin meerserj and his ex wife Cheryl lengthy court
history after their contentious two thousand and nine divorce. The
years that followed saw a multitude of suits, restraining orders,
and heavy settlements. Suspicions arise when the doctor is found dead.
Speaker 1 (33:50):
Outside his clinic.
Speaker 13 (33:53):
The LAPD investigation is able to tie Evan Hardman of Tumball,
Texas and Sara la jo Ed to the murder and
accuses them of carrying out the killing for financial gain.
Investigators were also able to tie Harmon and Jawed to
the alleged baseball bat attack on doctor Hamid Mercajad that
happened on May third and left the doctor in fear
for his life. Harmon and Jawed face assault charges for
(34:16):
that attack. Ashley Rose Sweeten is charged with one count
of being an accessory after the fact. She's accused of
driving the shooter to and from the crime scene.
Speaker 2 (34:26):
It's not the first time that an angry spouse or
mate has tried a murder for hire. Does the name
Dahlia di Polito ring a bell? Because I can't get
her out of my head? Listen that he's pulling out.
Speaker 14 (34:44):
I think a lot time ready, telling you keep the
word into the bank on a Wednesday, put money like
I know what make you going to Polka? Are you
family with Polka? I know exactly, I wond and I
know what time he's going to be there. He'll leave
here early and he'll be there.
Speaker 9 (35:03):
When they make over.
Speaker 6 (35:04):
Is your husband, Michael?
Speaker 9 (35:06):
Okay, I'm sorry to tell you man.
Speaker 6 (35:07):
He's been killed.
Speaker 2 (35:15):
By Detroit Slayton, high profile lawyer and his jurisdiction of
la That's Dahlia Dippolito. Now, much as in the current
case with the Dodger Mars show Jay, she tried to
murder her husband with a poisoned Starbucks didn't work. Next thing,
you know, she hires a hit man, who of course
(35:39):
is an undercover agent. Now you just saw her bent
over double Meryl.
Speaker 1 (35:44):
Streep move over. She arranged the hit.
Speaker 2 (35:50):
I've got her on tape with the agent arranging the hit,
and yet there she.
Speaker 1 (35:56):
Has doubled over screaming. Did you see the cops is
going really looking away during the screaming fit? Did you
see that?
Speaker 7 (36:05):
Yes, Nancy, this won't be the first time that somebody
is going to deny that they were the person who
committed a crime. That happens every single day and every
single courtroom around the country. If ever, if every criminal
who was accused of a crime, Nancy simply said, oh, yeah,
I did it, then you wouldn't have a job in
(36:27):
your earlier days as a prosecutor, and neither would I.
Speaker 2 (36:29):
Thank you for your job and career advised Troy Slayton.
But right now we're talking about murder. The murder of
a doctor, a beloved doctor gunned down in his own
clinic parking lot after taking a beating with a bat
by the same idiots who gunn him down.
Speaker 1 (36:47):
And speaking of Dahlia to Palite, I listen, you know.
Speaker 15 (36:51):
You've never seen him before, everything before, do you.
Speaker 8 (36:55):
Know her.
Speaker 9 (36:57):
Look at and everything?
Speaker 15 (37:00):
What were you doing coming out of her house. You're
not here. You're going to jail today.
Speaker 9 (37:16):
You're under arrest.
Speaker 2 (37:17):
Bam, okay, Troy Slayton you know who that guy is
that they just brought in to Dolly Dipalito, That was
the hit man, the hit man who is the undercover agent.
Speaker 1 (37:29):
And she's like, yeah, I've never seen him in my life.
Did you see that?
Speaker 2 (37:34):
I mean, she's holding it, She's continuing the performance to
the very end.
Speaker 1 (37:38):
I got to give her that kind of credit. Right.
Speaker 7 (37:40):
That's what criminals do, Nancy. Sometimes they won't admit it
even when there's overwhelming evidence of guilt, and sometimes that
could affect their sentencing later in court, because if somebody
can recognize and show's remorse and accountability for what they've done,
(38:02):
then that could be a mitigating factor that gets them
a lower sentence. And sometimes answer, let me just say
one more thing. You know, as a criminal defense attorney,
one of the things that we try and do if
we feel like the person's going to be convicted, is
we try and build as many mitigating factors as we
can to try and convince the judge that this person
(38:24):
should get the lowest punishment possible.
Speaker 1 (38:28):
Okay, you're actually giving me a headache.
Speaker 2 (38:30):
I want you to listen to Dahlia Dippolito when they
tell her her husband the ones she hired the hitman
to kill after she tried to poison him dead.
Speaker 1 (38:39):
Her husband is alive. Okay, watch this, Oh my god,
you are come here.
Speaker 2 (38:46):
Please come here, pay come here, come here, please come here.
Why not.
Speaker 1 (38:57):
Come here please?
Speaker 2 (38:58):
Yeah, the husband's been to all the undercover tapes of
her talking about where he would be and try to
make it look like, you know, a robbery gone wrong.
He heard the whole thing. Now, she keeps a straight face.
Now when you don't know a horse, look at a
track record. We know what dip Polito did before. We
(39:19):
know what she would do at trial. Same thing here.
We know what the defendant has done before. We know
what she's going to do at trial. Even now, she's
say Mike, come here, come here, as if he's.
Speaker 1 (39:31):
Going to run over and give her a big wet kiss.
She tried to have him killed.
Speaker 7 (39:35):
Troy, like Shakespeare said, the lady protests too much.
Speaker 1 (39:38):
Methinks somebody can do. Not start with me.
Speaker 2 (39:43):
Quoting Shakespeare. Okay, an Aga, say the lady doth protest
so much? Go back to your poly sign major. He said,
methinks thou dost protest too much. I don't know what
that has to do with a cold blood and murder
out in a parking lot.
Speaker 7 (39:58):
What it means is that if some somebody is putting
it on too thick, then detectives may think that that
person is not being truthful if they're protesting too much
about what they're being accused of.
Speaker 16 (40:13):
The lapd rated the Calabasas mansion of doctor Hamid Marshoj's
ex wife, a Hang marshoj Police officers are seen going
in and out.
Speaker 1 (40:21):
Of the home multiple times during the raid.
Speaker 16 (40:23):
Coming days after charges have been brought against at least
three other people in the ambush style attack of Marshoj.
Speaker 11 (40:29):
We are here to announce the additional charges that have
been filed in the murder case of doctor Hamid A. Marshojai.
The charges today have been filed against his ex wife,
Ahang Mayrshojai. She has been charged with effectively hiring a hitman,
(40:51):
a gentleman named Evan Hardman who's been previously charged with
murder and assault with a deadly weapon.
Speaker 2 (40:57):
Little did he know and his beautiful new wife that
with every Instagram post, it was rising like sap in
a tree boiling about to boil over with the ex wife,
according to prosecutors, until it did boil over and now
(41:22):
the good doctor, the husband, the father is dead to
doctor Eric Eson joining us, renowned forsic pathologist, doctor Esen,
he had time lying there in that parking lot to
understand what was happening to him, didn't he There is.
Speaker 6 (41:40):
A possibility that sustaining a gunsho went to the head.
There is a point of time, a period of time
where someone is conscious and where what's going on, So
that is possible.
Speaker 1 (41:48):
To Israel sell Us Rodriguez, what were his injuries?
Speaker 8 (41:53):
His injuries were a gunshot went to the back of
the head according to the autopsy.
Speaker 2 (41:56):
To the victim's brother joining us speaking out on his
brother's behalf with us, doctor Ali Rasa or show jay doctor,
what is your message tonight as you wait for this
case to move forward? And also how is his wife?
I mean, their daughter will have basically no memory of
(42:18):
her father.
Speaker 5 (42:19):
It's extremely sad and painful for my family. And the
fact that the most painful part of it is the
fact that my dad was diagnosed and created cancer in
March twenty twenty four. And have you and I we
were very occupied and busy to get him into the
(42:42):
program that he can have the new biological medication crosati
for his condition, and he was too successful to get
that for him, and the medicine was working very well,
and the doctors were surprised that his cancer marker came
down from seven thousand to one hundred. But immediately after
(43:04):
Hammids was shot my dad, my dad's health turned around
and he slowly started losing more weight and he passed
away just about just about a month ago. It is
very difficult within the very short period of time, in
less than six months, that my family have lost two
(43:27):
greatest member, my father and my brother, an uncle, husband
and the grandfather.
Speaker 1 (43:39):
It's extremely difficult.
Speaker 5 (43:40):
I can't put it towards Honestly, I don't know what
to feel at this time that I'm handling all my
brother's assets and as a trustee, I'm very busy with
all these tasks, so there's no time for me to moan.
But what I see around me, my mom, my nieces
(44:00):
and nephews, they appear to be very strong. My nieces
and nephews have lost their father and a now their
mother's in jail. It is something that doesn't really happen
to any child. So I honestly cannot explain in words,
(44:24):
how I feel or how they would be feeling right now.
But it's very sad and very painful, and it's unbelievable.
Speaker 2 (44:35):
This brand new legal action also accuses the ex wife
I tried to hide money financial assets in real estate
so the new wife and baby couldn't get it. Clearly,
according to this new filing, the ex wife was eaten
(44:57):
up consumed with resentment after doctor Ahmed moved on with
his life fifteen years after their divorce. Good gravy woman,
fifteen years they got divorced in two thousand and nine,
and she's still consumed with jealousy. These claims, and I'm quoting,
(45:23):
say that the ex wife was driven by quote avarice
and vengeance, jealousy, envy. That's avarice and vengeance, revenge, it
says the.
Speaker 1 (45:40):
Killer, excuse me, alleged killer.
Speaker 2 (45:43):
Ex wife demanded money repeatedly since their marriage ended, money
above and beyond what was agreed upon in the divorce decree.
The claims also state the ex wife consistently demanded money
due to a combination of her own reckless spending, inability
(46:08):
to manage her own finances.
Speaker 1 (46:10):
And out write greed. Greed.
Speaker 2 (46:15):
You know it's painful to pour through the documents as
we have been doing and finding out that doctor Hamid
had actually stated in writing in legal documents he feared
for his life and that his ex wife had threatened
to kill him, and she did. She did kill him.
(46:39):
In fact, he had been the victim of a beating
by a gang of men with a baseball bat just.
Speaker 1 (46:45):
A few months before he was killed. Remember that, Gee,
I wonder he would arranged.
Speaker 2 (46:49):
That he was so afraid this would happen and he
would be leaving his new wife and baby alone. Imagine
him dying in that parking lot, wore his last thoughts
about his new baby girl and the children from his
(47:09):
first wife that he's leaving behind now thanks to her.
According to prosecutors, we wait as justice un false.
Speaker 1 (47:21):
Goodbye friend,
Crime Stories with Nancy Grace.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Talk about overkill and I am not using that as
a descriptor.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
I mean overkill.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
Tonight we learn about a jealous ex wife from hell
who allegedly gets not one, not two, not three, but
four people to execute her ex husband, a medical doctor,
out of pure jealousy.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
Over his beautiful new young.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
Wife, jealousy over not just the young wife, but the
young wife's new baby with her ex husband. Plus she
wants a whole bunch of money. Good evening, I'm Nancy
Grayson this Crime Stories. I want to thank you for
being with us. You heard me right. A jealous ex
(01:05):
wife is consumed with envy, gets not one, two, three,
but four people to murder her doctor ex husband so
she can get her mints on his money and out
of pure jealousy when he remarries and has a baby. Now,
this is according to a brand new lawsuit filed by
(01:29):
doctor Hamid the victim's widow. As you will recall, the
ex wife, ham marshow J, and four others have been
arrested after the shooting death of an er doctor Hamid
mar show J. He was beloved by all accounts and
(01:50):
was ambushed in the parking lot of his own medical
clinic by asseilants who approach him from behind as he
leaves the clinic and goes to his vehicle. What happened
that fateful day? Did insta snaps up, a lavish lifestyle
(02:12):
with a new trophy wife and a brand new baby
lead to murder? The murder on the so called doctor
the stars, I'mancy Grace, this is crime stories.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
Thank you for being with us.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
Doctor Hamaed Meershoj is the beloved doctor of his Woodland
Hills community in Los Angeles. But tragedy strikes when the
good doctor and father of four is mysteriously slain outside
his clinic.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
How did a beloved doctor, a family man, the father
of a brand new baby girl end up dead and the.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
Parking lot of his own medical clinic.
Speaker 4 (02:49):
Listen on August twenty third, twenty twenty four, about five
thirty pm, as doctor Harmid michau Je left his family
(03:09):
medical clinic for the night and walked to his vehicle
in the parking lot, a masked man emrriage from hiding
around the corner of the clinic and ran toward him
from a close distance. The suspect fired at doctor marsha
je in an ambush style attack, and then immediately fled
back toward the rear of the clinic and away from
the scene.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
A beloved family practice doctrine dead in the parking lot
of his own clinic.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
Now, let's think this thing through to Israel.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
Salth Rodriguez joining US, senior news reporter at US son Israel.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
Thank you for being with us. Let me understand, this
is rapid fire. This is right.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
As he leaves his office, correct his clinic, yes, no, yes, correct,
walking to his car right, yes, correct, masked man, a
masked man correct correct, no robbery, no sex attack, correct
act and the math man flees apparently to a waiting car, joining.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
Me as a very special guest.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
The brother of the so called doctor to the stars
joining us as Ali reisa show J doctor, thank you
for being with us.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
Doctor was show J.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
When did you learn that your brother, the so called
doctor to the stars, had been killed? And when you
were first told did you realize he had been murdered
or did you think he died of natural causes of
someone in some way?
Speaker 5 (04:41):
Well, my wife and I we were driving going to
my parents' house, meeting my brother and celebrating murder progress
of my dad and his treatment for his pancreatic cancer.
On our way, a common friend called us and he
insisted that I contact my brother on the phone and
see and asked for his is whereabout? So I did
(05:06):
several times, did an answer. He called me back. He
said you should go to his clinic and see what's
going on. And I said why and said you should.
Speaker 6 (05:14):
You must go.
Speaker 5 (05:14):
We heard shooting and I said, we're shooting. That's unusual.
So that basically got me worried. So I drove towards
his clinic due to the traffic. Once I get to
that intersection where his clinic was, I had to jump
out of the car because I saw the please yellow
crime tape all around the parking lot. So I ran
(05:37):
to the scene. The police didn't let me go forward,
and the only thing I could see was his boots
and his blue jean laying down on the ground on
his left side, facing his car. So the police started
asking me was he suicidal? Did he kill himself? And
I told him absolutely not. And I just also mentioned
(05:57):
the police that he had purchased the antibiotics for my
dad for his condition and he was supposed to deliver
it to the house today tonight, and at that time
adrenaline was pumped in, so I was very much alert
and hyped up and didn't really know what to do,
(06:23):
just shocked and very angry, very upset, and I'm generally
very calm guy, but that night, apparently people were telling
me I was pretty much not talking to anybody and
(06:43):
just trying to figure things out, which in that situations,
which is very unusual, you can't.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
Really you know, doctor you mentioned that they asked you
would he have committed suicide, and I'm going to follow
up in a moment with doctor eric Ason garning the
trajectory of the gunshot wounds. But you immediately said, no way.
This guy, your brother, had everything to live for.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
He had this gorgeous.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
New wife, the brand new baby.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
I mean, he was really and the happiest time of
his life, right.
Speaker 5 (07:25):
Absolutely, he was never happier. He looked even way better
than before he transformed into the way younger guy. I
would say, probably even fifteen twenty years younger than his
age and the newborn baby. So I never saw him happier.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
As a matter of fact, check out before and after
tell me doctor Ali Reisa mershow Jay, what led your brother,
who's a very handsome man, what led him to have
plastic surgery?
Speaker 5 (07:58):
Well, I'm not aware that he did to any extensive
plastic surgery aside from the botox and some hypo for
his wrinkle and all that. But he did lose weight
and he was working out. He was going to equinox
on daily basis. He did some implant hearing plant and
that made him look even better. The plastic surgery.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
It looks great.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
Where are you good, Ola, Resa? He looks amazing again.
Joining me in all star panel to makes sense of
what we know right now. But to doctor Eric Easton,
following up on what Dodtor Meir show Jate told us,
this is the victim's brother. Doctor Easton, board certified forensic
pathologist consultant, has performed so many autopsies, thousands of autopsies,
(08:49):
Doctor Ethan, thank you for being with us. Of course,
I understand why police are saying on the same could
he have committed suicide? But clearly the trajectory of the bullets,
in other words, their path front to back, side to side,
downward to upward, left to right and so forth, would
clearly indicate this was no suicide.
Speaker 6 (09:10):
Trajectory does help. Trajectories a piece of the puzzle when
determining whether a gunshot wound is a suicidal or homicidal.
But you also have location of the entrance wound. That's
very helpful. So suicides tend to be introoral or to
the temple area, whereas homicides are going to be like
random locations maybe to the back of the head. And
then also factor in circumstances and also witnesses. Witnesses said
(09:33):
somebody came up with a mask on and shot them,
and then the circumstances, I don't believe a gun was
found at the scene, and so that would strongly suggest
that this is not going to be a suicide and
inflicted by somebody else.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
Yeah, you know how eyewitnesses are always attacted trial by
people like Troy Slayton joining us right now, high profile
LA criminal defense attorney in this jurisdiction.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
Troy, there's no question this was a hit.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
Now, the circumstances surrounding the hit, we're not sure of
that yet. But for a masked man to run around
the corner perfectly timed for when the doctor who is
the so called doctor to the stars, beloved by all
comes out of his office, same time every day, Troy,
you and I've talked about this a million times. Comes
(10:21):
out of his clinic, same time as he does every day,
to head to his car. At that exact, that precise moment,
someone runs around the corner wearing a mask, shoots. No
sex attack, no robbery, no drug deal, nothing, and then
runs away.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
It's a hit.
Speaker 7 (10:38):
All the circumstances, including some witness accounts that said that
they saw this person, the alleged gunman walking around the
location for an hour before waiting for the doctor to
come out, all lead one to believe that this was
a pre planned, premeditated attack by somebody lying in wait.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Of course, one of the first places you look is
at his family, those closest to him. You look at
people he works with every day. You know, familiarity breeds contempt.
Who could possibly be angry at him within his own
clinic Listen.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
August twenty third is a regular day in the office
for doctor Ahmed Meerscherja. His new wife and baby are
away visiting her family, and the doctor leaves his clinic
about an hour after seeing his last patient for the day.
Nothing is out of the ordinary, but the unsold baseball
bat attack of less than three months ago is something
that has made the peaceful doctor a bit on edge.
Speaker 8 (11:39):
They were all streaming in the office when it happened
because they heard the shots.
Speaker 9 (11:43):
But you can see what's going on, and every big
ductors screamed in there.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
It was horrifying.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
Now, you were just hearing from our friends at Fox
eleven that was a former patient of the doctor.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
So everything was normal.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
In the office and when this went down, screaming, everyone
jumping on the floor. They hear gunshots, and of course
immediately Israel saw us Rodriguez joining us a senior news
reporter us Son. Immediately police arrive and start talking to
everyone at the scene, and everyone was accounted for in
(12:19):
that office. In other words, it was not a scenario where, oh,
the front desk secretary, the assistant vanished for an hour
and then she reappeared.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
Nothing like that.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
Everybody was there, everybody was shaken up, and they very
quickly ruled out anyone that he was working with.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
Isn't that right, Israel? Correct? Nancy?
Speaker 2 (12:42):
I want to talk about what we learned at the scene,
but first to Karen start joining me, renowned psychologist TV
radio trauma expert at karenstart dot com. That's Karen with
the c Karen, I was thinking about the details, the
unusual details that stuck.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
Out in the mind of our murder victim's brother.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
They grow up together, they both go to medical school,
they start their practices, and they live life.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
Then he gets a call.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Everyone's supposed to be getting together to celebrate, and the
brother doesn't show up.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
Did you notice the things that stuck out in his mind?
The crime scene tape.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
Seeing his brother's boot, seeing his brother's leg in blue
jeans lying there in the parking lot of his medical clinic.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
What does that mean? Karen Stark.
Speaker 10 (13:38):
Well, when you get that kind of sudden and just
there and you're in sudden shock, Nancy, what you will
notice are things that just immediately pop into your mind.
But there you're not really absorbing what you're seeing.
Speaker 9 (13:55):
So he sees a.
Speaker 10 (13:56):
Boot, he sees a leg, but I think he can't
really put it together because it's slow motion. It's kind
of booted leg body. What is this complete shock, not
able to digest what's happening to him?
Speaker 1 (14:14):
Right then? Crime stories with Nancy Grace jealousy, jealousy, jealousy.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
That's why they call it the green eyed monster.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
It's a monster.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
Once it gets a hold of you, apparently it won't
let you go. And that is what was literally consuming
Doctor Hamid's ex wife just consumed with jealousy. How many
times do you think she looked at the new wife's Facebook, Insta,
(14:54):
Twitter and the gorgeous pictures of the new wife and
the new baby ooh. In the last days, the good
doctor's graving family launches a lawsuit claiming the ex hang
hired a hitman to kill the doctor so she could
(15:14):
get his money and block the new and much younger
wife and the baby daughter from accessing those funds. What
more do we know about the death of the good doctor?
Speaker 3 (15:33):
Doctor Hamed Meershoj is the beloved doctor of his Woodland
Hills community in Los Angeles. But tragedy strikes when the
good doctor and father of four is mysteriously slain outside
his clinic.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
We keep saying doctor to the stars, and he was
exactly that before he was gunned down outside his own
medical clinic, listen to one of his patients.
Speaker 9 (15:56):
That was going through a divorce and even said to me, said, hey,
why don't we get together have lunch and talk you're
going through a divorce. I'm going through a divorce. Let's
just sit down and chat. That's how great of a
person he was. He was just really caring. And also, hey,
he's a doctor. He hurts too.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
In the years following this divorce, doctor Ahmed mierso j
finds love again and this time everything is wonderful. He
marries Gazelle Simorg. Together they welcome a beautiful little girl
into the world in his first two years of marriage,
and her name Avena.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
Straight out to the brother joining us, Doctor ali Resa
misho Ja, tell me about the second wife.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
How did that happen?
Speaker 5 (16:39):
I think that happened about They met about six years
ago and they got married, if I'm not wrong. In
two years after and van Hammid was shot his chiand
Avina was only six months old. And we had a
(17:01):
loving relationship. They had found to have exciting life. He
started feeling and acting and living young again.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
To Israel, saw us Rodriguez joining us from the US
Sun Israel. And I know that the second wife was
away visiting family with the baby at the time of
the murder.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
Is that right correct?
Speaker 8 (17:26):
She was in Turkey visiting family.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
Okay, so she's out because that's normally the first place
you look is that those closest to the victim. But
what's concerning is an incident that occurred a few months before.
Tell me about the attack with a baseball bat.
Speaker 8 (17:45):
Israel so Yes, a worker at doctor Hamid Major Jay's
clinic told investigators that three men snuck up behind doctor
Major j and attacked them with baseball.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
Back good gravy. The raisa what happened, Well, he.
Speaker 5 (18:05):
Didn't say what was the reason. And apparently the conversation
he had with those people that they came at him,
obviously they came at him slowly, and this they engaged
in a conversation and then suddenly Hamid tries to run away,
and he's telling me that he fell and he was
(18:29):
beating with the baseball bat, but he was able to
get up and run, so he doesn't get hurt too much.
But his back and his right right shoulder was injured.
And also he visited the Ortheedy doctor for rotator coughter
(18:49):
and he also spoke with me about his treatment for that.
He did not tell me or I don't know if
he knew or he didn't tell me, but he didn't
tell me what was the reason, and he didn't tell
me who did he suspect that initiated that attack. But
(19:16):
also he mentioned to me a few days later that
maybe a week after that attack, he saw the same
person who attacked him in the gas station and he
contacted the detective to come and get him, but unfortunately
the detectives were busy and they didn't have time to
do that. So he was very upset of that matter
(19:37):
as well.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
Doctor Ollie Reisa. Did he recognize the guys?
Speaker 5 (19:41):
He didn't know them, But the second time when he
saw the person who attacked him in the gas station,
he recognized that was one of those people.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
Tell me about his relationship with the first wife.
Speaker 5 (19:53):
Well, after they were divorced over fifteen years ago, they
had a continuous issues, legal issues and legal battles, and
they were going in and out of courts every month.
And as well as the confrontations. Because he was renting
(20:17):
the office in a shopping center that belonged to a hag,
that was also another factor that they had some interactions
that happened between them.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
Doctor miche Je, how did she respond to the remarriage
and the new baby.
Speaker 5 (20:36):
Well, after their divorce, I was not much in contact
with her, maybe overall, once or twice, a little short conversations.
But apparently what she told me was an occasion that
I at the funeral, as a matter of fact, that
he came to the burial my brother. I didn't want
(21:00):
them to see each other, so I asked her that, okay,
can you sit on this side so you don't see her.
She mentioned that she has nothing against her and she
doesn't even know her, so that was her response.
Speaker 9 (21:13):
She worked in the office with him. She was basically
running the office, and she was there every time I
saw doctor Amad. She would be there all the time.
She was the I guess running the whole clinic. She
was very friendly, very personable. The only problem was there
(21:35):
you could feel it. There was tension between her and
her husband, doctor Hami and she would be personable, he
would be personable, but boy, the tension was powerable between
the two of them.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
Doctor were show jay, when did you learn that police
law enforcement, they're in LAPD, we're looking at the ex
wife as a potential killer.
Speaker 5 (22:02):
Well, there's a question. At the night of the murder
accortunity third, the police asked me and asked several other
people that they knew my brother had made who do
we think that could have done this or who would
be the enemy or my brother? And we all didn't
have any name in common. I mean, we didn't have
(22:25):
anybody in mind. And the only thing that everybody was
aware was the conflict that Hamid and him had together
for many, many years. So that was the only thing
that came to everybody's mind at that night. And from
then on, I think the police kind of zero in
(22:45):
on her and continued their investigations.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
But here's the thing too, Ishiel saw us Rodriguez joining
us in the us son.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
The witness clearly saw a masked male run around the building,
not a female.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
That's correct, Nancy. How else was the purp described?
Speaker 8 (23:03):
He was described as a male suspect, Like you said,
a hooded was walking around the area, roaming around the clinic,
and he just came up from behind doctor and fired him.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
And I'm curious, Israel I understand that police rated the
ex wife's home and took out bag after bag after
bag of evidence. Do you have any idea what they
found in her home?
Speaker 8 (23:29):
Well, that Nancy is not disclosed yet. We know that,
like you said, this investigators went to her home in
Kylabasas and removed certain evidence from their residence.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
Whatever they found led to this.
Speaker 11 (23:44):
The horror in the betrayal of this crime is beyond words,
and it is with a heavy heart that we have
to announce these charges against against the ex wife of
doctor Hami Marshoji Haying Mrshojii, in addition to the other
co defendants. The depth of this deceit and violence involved
(24:06):
in this case is chilling, and we will not rest until.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
Justice has served and more.
Speaker 11 (24:12):
Back on August twenty third, mister Hardman, having been hired
by Ahang Mayrshojaii, goes ahead to a parking lot in
Woodland Hills, the parking lot at which doctor Hamich Mayrshojaii
had his medical practice. He was driven, as the accusations
(24:32):
have alleged by Ashley Sweeting, she brought mister Hardman to
that parking lot. He at that point goes ahead and
engages in the act of murder.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
To high profile lawyer out of LA joining us, Troy Slayton.
This is his jurisdiction, Troy, have you ever heard of
d I Y do it yourself? Whenever you have co defendants,
Everything goes right down the crapper.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
They cannot keep their yapps shut. Here you've got a
very crude.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
Attack on the doctor where else outside his clinic, caught
on video.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
Then the idiots, if.
Speaker 2 (25:15):
I go out on a limb and say that, are
spotted by him again at a gas station, he sees them,
he can identify them. Then within weeks he's gunned down.
Of course they're going to roll over.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
On the ex wife. It's a given. There's no honor
among thieves, Nancy.
Speaker 7 (25:36):
You know sometimes we say in criminal law and family
law that in family law you have generally good people
on their worst behavior, and in criminal law you have
sometimes bad people on their best behavior. And when you
have a mixture of criminal and family law, everything is
(25:57):
a mess.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
I don't know what you're saying about goodbehod behavior, bad behavior.
This is a father of a brand new baby girl
with a beautiful new wife. The baby party, you remember,
where she the baby excedentally knocks over the cake and
at first there's a stun silence, and then everybody starts laughing.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
Was it just what? One instagram too many?
Speaker 7 (26:22):
If you're asking me to explain to you why somebody
would hire another person to kill somebody I can't do it,
but what I can tell you is that.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
You do it every day of your life in court,
Roye Layton, don't tell me.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
You can't spit it out tonight.
Speaker 7 (26:39):
Look, Nancy, the facts are really bad in this case,
and if I was an attorney working on it, I'm
going to be looking at any other possible suspects. I'm
going to be looking at other possibilities other than the
ex wife because this is a pure circumstantial case and
(27:03):
that there's no eyewitness of the wife actually committing the murder.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
Or choice Layton, I'll be just having the transient to you,
there's no eyewitness of her committing the murder.
Speaker 1 (27:18):
Yeah, that's how a murder for hire usually goes.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
You hire somebody to do it so you're not at
the scene. You haven't wondered what was in all of
those bags they were carding out of her place.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
It's called evidence, Slaton, evidence.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
You don't see you if she was this angry about
the new wife and all those instances, I mean, those Instagram.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
Posts were pretty impressive. It looks straight out of a magazine.
Speaker 2 (27:42):
The new wife was gorgeous, apparently really sweet lady. Then
he seals the deal with a baby, even going so
far as to have plastic surgery to totally change his
appearance to please his new wife.
Speaker 12 (27:59):
And he does. They're happy, and the first wife just
couldn't stand it. Let me see Slaton. For Pete's sake,
can you imagine. I guarantee you it's going to come
out in evidence all the.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
Feverish tics and phone calls she had with her Hinch people.
According to the state, it's going to be a treasure troth. Really,
she and have the same people commit a bat attack,
a baseball bat attack in the parking lot where then
the same location and there's surveillance video. For Pete's sake,
(28:33):
then they come back for seconds and gun him down.
Oh yeah, there's going to be a trail a mile
wide Troy s Layton.
Speaker 7 (28:41):
So that's going to be the thing that police detectives
are honing in on this case as all of the
electronic evidence. They're going to be looking at every computer,
every telephone, every tablet, everything, and there's going to be
a lot of technical evidentiary objection to how this electronic evidence.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
Let me make you a lot phrase at you.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
You say that the electronic digital footprint is the strongest
evidence Latin phrase, they got a crap ton of evidence
from these code defendants. You think they want the other
the getaway girl, No, they don't want her. They want
the triggerman and they want the ex wife for obvious reasons.
(29:26):
The ex wife is going to be pegged as the mastermind,
if you could call it, the big criminal mastermind and
the trigger man because I'd like to see Troy Slayton,
because as you know, Troy, a jury will.
Speaker 1 (29:40):
Not take down the mastermind.
Speaker 2 (29:41):
If the Triggerman doesn't go down, they have to go
down together. Everybody else is icing on the cake. That's
the strongest evidence. The other co defendants will do.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
You know, the fbis in on this.
Speaker 2 (29:56):
The other code defendants will do whatever it takes to
save their own skin. They're going to rat out the
Triggerman and the x Y. It's a done deal.
Speaker 7 (30:05):
And that's why the district attorney decided to charge them
together in this case. These aren't separate cases that are
all traveling on their own criminal track. Everybody here in
this case has been charged together and the district attorney
is going to seek to try them together. If I
was the attorney on the case, one of the first
(30:26):
things that I would do is do a motion to
set ask for because I don't want a jury, and
I'm going to argue to the judge, I don't want
a jury to convict my client, my innocent client, just
because they don't like this other bad guy, and that
they'll impute some of the bad stuff about the co defendant.
Speaker 9 (30:44):
To my client.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
That you know what, because that's been gone, that's been
peeked through with a fine tooth come by the US
Supreme Court. You know those justices up in Washington that
sit in that big courtroom. Them they absolutely can be
tried together. I've tried plenty of code of fenits together
in a murder case.
Speaker 1 (31:06):
As Nancy, A, it's not a penalty case. A let
me rephrase.
Speaker 2 (31:11):
I keep hearing something, Oh it's you. A, it's not
a death penalty case. And B the state can exclude
I'm hearing it again. Exclude interlocking statements. Simply put, interlocking
statements is, for instance, I blame Troy Slayton, he blames
me in statements unless we take the stand. Those statements
(31:33):
cannot be cross examined under the sixth Amendment, so.
Speaker 1 (31:35):
They're kept out. Don't need them.
Speaker 2 (31:38):
So manstery short, they're going to be put in the
same pot to steal Slayton. And you can about severance
all you want to, but it's not going to happen.
Speaker 1 (31:49):
They're going to be tried and convicted together.
Speaker 7 (31:51):
This is a special circumstances case, which means that the
death penalty is not off the table. And although in
California the governor has moratorium on carrying out executions, there's
a new sheriff in town. There's a new DA who
is very tough on crime and is not afraid to
seek the death penalty in appropriate cases, unlike the past
(32:13):
district attorney. So it could very well be in this
case that they're going to seek the death penalty.
Speaker 1 (32:19):
Nancy, we'll burn that bridge when we get there. Meanwhile,
listen to this.
Speaker 11 (32:24):
At that point, another co defendant who has been charged
with the crime of murder as well as carried out
for financial gain and assault with a deadly weapon, Sarah
Lal Jahwed, is met by mister Hardman. Mister Johwed then
takes mister Hardman to the state of Texas, where mister
(32:46):
Hardman is eventually arrested.
Speaker 1 (32:54):
Crime stores with Nancy Grace.
Speaker 2 (33:00):
In this brand new lawsuit, the widow claims that the
ex wife spent weeks in her lawsuit, she says meticulously
planning the murder, Gosh weeks planning the murder, and then
(33:21):
enlisted the help of at least four others, promising them
thousands of dollars in payment after the murder.
Speaker 1 (33:33):
What happened in that parking lot?
Speaker 3 (33:35):
Doctor Hamin meerserj and his ex wife Cheryl lengthy court
history after their contentious two thousand and nine divorce. The
years that followed saw a multitude of suits, restraining orders,
and heavy settlements. Suspicions arise when the doctor is found dead.
Speaker 1 (33:50):
Outside his clinic.
Speaker 13 (33:53):
The LAPD investigation is able to tie Evan Hardman of Tumball,
Texas and Sara la jo Ed to the murder and
accuses them of carrying out the killing for financial gain.
Investigators were also able to tie Harmon and Jawed to
the alleged baseball bat attack on doctor Hamid Mercajad that
happened on May third and left the doctor in fear
for his life. Harmon and Jawed face assault charges for
(34:16):
that attack. Ashley Rose Sweeten is charged with one count
of being an accessory after the fact. She's accused of
driving the shooter to and from the crime scene.
Speaker 2 (34:26):
It's not the first time that an angry spouse or
mate has tried a murder for hire. Does the name
Dahlia di Polito ring a bell? Because I can't get
her out of my head? Listen that he's pulling out.
Speaker 14 (34:44):
I think a lot time ready, telling you keep the
word into the bank on a Wednesday, put money like
I know what make you going to Polka? Are you
family with Polka? I know exactly, I wond and I
know what time he's going to be there. He'll leave
here early and he'll be there.
Speaker 9 (35:03):
When they make over.
Speaker 6 (35:04):
Is your husband, Michael?
Speaker 9 (35:06):
Okay, I'm sorry to tell you man.
Speaker 6 (35:07):
He's been killed.
Speaker 2 (35:15):
By Detroit Slayton, high profile lawyer and his jurisdiction of
la That's Dahlia Dippolito. Now, much as in the current
case with the Dodger Mars show Jay, she tried to
murder her husband with a poisoned Starbucks didn't work. Next thing,
you know, she hires a hit man, who of course
(35:39):
is an undercover agent. Now you just saw her bent
over double Meryl.
Speaker 1 (35:44):
Streep move over. She arranged the hit.
Speaker 2 (35:50):
I've got her on tape with the agent arranging the hit,
and yet there she.
Speaker 1 (35:56):
Has doubled over screaming. Did you see the cops is
going really looking away during the screaming fit? Did you
see that?
Speaker 7 (36:05):
Yes, Nancy, this won't be the first time that somebody
is going to deny that they were the person who
committed a crime. That happens every single day and every
single courtroom around the country. If ever, if every criminal
who was accused of a crime, Nancy simply said, oh, yeah,
I did it, then you wouldn't have a job in
(36:27):
your earlier days as a prosecutor, and neither would I.
Speaker 2 (36:29):
Thank you for your job and career advised Troy Slayton.
But right now we're talking about murder. The murder of
a doctor, a beloved doctor gunned down in his own
clinic parking lot after taking a beating with a bat
by the same idiots who gunn him down.
Speaker 1 (36:47):
And speaking of Dahlia to Palite, I listen, you know.
Speaker 15 (36:51):
You've never seen him before, everything before, do you.
Speaker 8 (36:55):
Know her.
Speaker 9 (36:57):
Look at and everything?
Speaker 15 (37:00):
What were you doing coming out of her house. You're
not here. You're going to jail today.
Speaker 9 (37:16):
You're under arrest.
Speaker 2 (37:17):
Bam, okay, Troy Slayton you know who that guy is
that they just brought in to Dolly Dipalito, That was
the hit man, the hit man who is the undercover agent.
Speaker 1 (37:29):
And she's like, yeah, I've never seen him in my life.
Did you see that?
Speaker 2 (37:34):
I mean, she's holding it, She's continuing the performance to
the very end.
Speaker 1 (37:38):
I got to give her that kind of credit. Right.
Speaker 7 (37:40):
That's what criminals do, Nancy. Sometimes they won't admit it
even when there's overwhelming evidence of guilt, and sometimes that
could affect their sentencing later in court, because if somebody
can recognize and show's remorse and accountability for what they've done,
(38:02):
then that could be a mitigating factor that gets them
a lower sentence. And sometimes answer, let me just say
one more thing. You know, as a criminal defense attorney,
one of the things that we try and do if
we feel like the person's going to be convicted, is
we try and build as many mitigating factors as we
can to try and convince the judge that this person
(38:24):
should get the lowest punishment possible.
Speaker 1 (38:28):
Okay, you're actually giving me a headache.
Speaker 2 (38:30):
I want you to listen to Dahlia Dippolito when they
tell her her husband the ones she hired the hitman
to kill after she tried to poison him dead.
Speaker 1 (38:39):
Her husband is alive. Okay, watch this, Oh my god,
you are come here.
Speaker 2 (38:46):
Please come here, pay come here, come here, please come here.
Why not.
Speaker 1 (38:57):
Come here please?
Speaker 2 (38:58):
Yeah, the husband's been to all the undercover tapes of
her talking about where he would be and try to
make it look like, you know, a robbery gone wrong.
He heard the whole thing. Now, she keeps a straight face.
Now when you don't know a horse, look at a
track record. We know what dip Polito did before. We
(39:19):
know what she would do at trial. Same thing here.
We know what the defendant has done before. We know
what she's going to do at trial. Even now, she's
say Mike, come here, come here, as if he's.
Speaker 1 (39:31):
Going to run over and give her a big wet kiss.
She tried to have him killed.
Speaker 7 (39:35):
Troy, like Shakespeare said, the lady protests too much.
Speaker 1 (39:38):
Methinks somebody can do. Not start with me.
Speaker 2 (39:43):
Quoting Shakespeare. Okay, an Aga, say the lady doth protest
so much? Go back to your poly sign major. He said,
methinks thou dost protest too much. I don't know what
that has to do with a cold blood and murder
out in a parking lot.
Speaker 7 (39:58):
What it means is that if some somebody is putting
it on too thick, then detectives may think that that
person is not being truthful if they're protesting too much
about what they're being accused of.
Speaker 16 (40:13):
The lapd rated the Calabasas mansion of doctor Hamid Marshoj's
ex wife, a Hang marshoj Police officers are seen going
in and out.
Speaker 1 (40:21):
Of the home multiple times during the raid.
Speaker 16 (40:23):
Coming days after charges have been brought against at least
three other people in the ambush style attack of Marshoj.
Speaker 11 (40:29):
We are here to announce the additional charges that have
been filed in the murder case of doctor Hamid A. Marshojai.
The charges today have been filed against his ex wife,
Ahang Mayrshojai. She has been charged with effectively hiring a hitman,
(40:51):
a gentleman named Evan Hardman who's been previously charged with
murder and assault with a deadly weapon.
Speaker 2 (40:57):
Little did he know and his beautiful new wife that
with every Instagram post, it was rising like sap in
a tree boiling about to boil over with the ex wife,
according to prosecutors, until it did boil over and now
(41:22):
the good doctor, the husband, the father is dead to
doctor Eric Eson joining us, renowned forsic pathologist, doctor Esen,
he had time lying there in that parking lot to
understand what was happening to him, didn't he There is.
Speaker 6 (41:40):
A possibility that sustaining a gunsho went to the head.
There is a point of time, a period of time
where someone is conscious and where what's going on, So
that is possible.
Speaker 1 (41:48):
To Israel sell Us Rodriguez, what were his injuries?
Speaker 8 (41:53):
His injuries were a gunshot went to the back of
the head according to the autopsy.
Speaker 2 (41:56):
To the victim's brother joining us speaking out on his
brother's behalf with us, doctor Ali Rasa or show jay doctor,
what is your message tonight as you wait for this
case to move forward? And also how is his wife?
I mean, their daughter will have basically no memory of
(42:18):
her father.
Speaker 5 (42:19):
It's extremely sad and painful for my family. And the
fact that the most painful part of it is the
fact that my dad was diagnosed and created cancer in
March twenty twenty four. And have you and I we
were very occupied and busy to get him into the
(42:42):
program that he can have the new biological medication crosati
for his condition, and he was too successful to get
that for him, and the medicine was working very well,
and the doctors were surprised that his cancer marker came
down from seven thousand to one hundred. But immediately after
(43:04):
Hammids was shot my dad, my dad's health turned around
and he slowly started losing more weight and he passed
away just about just about a month ago. It is
very difficult within the very short period of time, in
less than six months, that my family have lost two
(43:27):
greatest member, my father and my brother, an uncle, husband
and the grandfather.
Speaker 1 (43:39):
It's extremely difficult.
Speaker 5 (43:40):
I can't put it towards Honestly, I don't know what
to feel at this time that I'm handling all my
brother's assets and as a trustee, I'm very busy with
all these tasks, so there's no time for me to moan.
But what I see around me, my mom, my nieces
(44:00):
and nephews, they appear to be very strong. My nieces
and nephews have lost their father and a now their
mother's in jail. It is something that doesn't really happen
to any child. So I honestly cannot explain in words,
(44:24):
how I feel or how they would be feeling right now.
But it's very sad and very painful, and it's unbelievable.
Speaker 2 (44:35):
This brand new legal action also accuses the ex wife
I tried to hide money financial assets in real estate
so the new wife and baby couldn't get it. Clearly,
according to this new filing, the ex wife was eaten
(44:57):
up consumed with resentment after doctor Ahmed moved on with
his life fifteen years after their divorce. Good gravy woman,
fifteen years they got divorced in two thousand and nine,
and she's still consumed with jealousy. These claims, and I'm quoting,
(45:23):
say that the ex wife was driven by quote avarice
and vengeance, jealousy, envy. That's avarice and vengeance, revenge, it
says the.
Speaker 1 (45:40):
Killer, excuse me, alleged killer.
Speaker 2 (45:43):
Ex wife demanded money repeatedly since their marriage ended, money
above and beyond what was agreed upon in the divorce decree.
The claims also state the ex wife consistently demanded money
due to a combination of her own reckless spending, inability
(46:08):
to manage her own finances.
Speaker 1 (46:10):
And out write greed. Greed.
Speaker 2 (46:15):
You know it's painful to pour through the documents as
we have been doing and finding out that doctor Hamid
had actually stated in writing in legal documents he feared
for his life and that his ex wife had threatened
to kill him, and she did. She did kill him.
(46:39):
In fact, he had been the victim of a beating
by a gang of men with a baseball bat just.
Speaker 1 (46:45):
A few months before he was killed. Remember that, Gee,
I wonder he would arranged.
Speaker 2 (46:49):
That he was so afraid this would happen and he
would be leaving his new wife and baby alone. Imagine
him dying in that parking lot, wore his last thoughts
about his new baby girl and the children from his
(47:09):
first wife that he's leaving behind now thanks to her.
According to prosecutors, we wait as justice un false.
Speaker 1 (47:21):
Goodbye friend,
