  Speaker 2: the so called doctor to the stars joining us as
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: Ali Reisa show J doctor, thank you for being with us.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: Doctor, show J.
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: When did you learn that your brother, the so called
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: doctor to the stars had been killed? And when you
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: were first told did you realize he had been murdered
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: or did you think he died of natural causes of
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: someone in some way?
• 2:43
  Speaker 5: Well, my wife and I we were driving going to
• 2:45
  Speaker 5: my parents' house, meeting my brother and celebrating murder progress
• 2:50
  Speaker 5: of my dad and his treatment for his pancreatic cancer.
• 2:56
  Speaker 5: On our way, a common friend called us, and he
• 2:59
  Speaker 5: insisted that contact my brother on the phone and see
• 3:03
  Speaker 5: and ask for his his whereabout So I did several times,
• 3:08
  Speaker 5: did an answer. He called me back. He said you
• 3:11
  Speaker 5: should go to his clinic and see what's going on.
• 3:14
  Speaker 5: And I said why and said you should, you must go.
• 3:16
  Speaker 5: We heard shooting and I said, we're shooting. That's unusual.
• 3:20
  Speaker 5: So that basically got me worried. So I drove towards
• 3:25
  Speaker 5: his clinic due to the traffic. Once I get to
• 3:30
  Speaker 5: that intersection where his clinic was, I had to jump
• 3:33
  Speaker 5: out of the car because I saw that please yellow
• 3:36
  Speaker 5: crime tape all around the parking lot. So I ran
• 3:39
  Speaker 5: to the scene. The police didn't let me go forward,
• 3:42
  Speaker 5: and the only thing I could see was his boots
• 3:44
  Speaker 5: and his blue jean laying down on the ground on
• 3:47
  Speaker 5: his left side, facing his car. So the police started
• 3:51
  Speaker 5: asking me was he suicidal? Did he kill himself? And
• 3:55
  Speaker 5: I told him absolutely not. And I just also mentioned
• 4:00
  Speaker 5: police that he had purchased the antibiotics for my dad
• 4:04
  Speaker 5: for his for his condition and he was supposed to
• 4:07
  Speaker 5: deliver it to house today tonight. And at that time
• 4:14
  Speaker 5: that adrenaline was pumped in, so I was very much
• 4:19
  Speaker 5: alert and hyped up and didn't really know what to do,
• 4:25
  Speaker 5: just shocked and very angry, very upset, and I'm generally
• 4:33
  Speaker 5: very calm guy, but but that night, apparently people were
• 4:38
  Speaker 5: trying me. I was pretty much not talking to anybody
• 4:43
  Speaker 5: and just trying to figure things out, which in that situations,
• 4:49
  Speaker 5: which is very unusual, you can't really.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: You know, doctor you mentioned that they asked you would
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: he have committed suicide? And I want to follow up
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: in a moment with doctor Eric Eason regarding the trajectory
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: of the gunshot wounds.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: But you immediately said, no way.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: This guy, your brother had everything to live for. He
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: had this gorgeous new wife.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: The brand new baby.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: I mean, he was really and the happiest time of
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: his life.
• 5:27
  Speaker 5: Right, Absolutely, he was never happier. He looked even way
• 5:31
  Speaker 5: better than before he transformed into the way younger guy.
• 5:36
  Speaker 5: I would say, probably even fifteen twenty years younger than
• 5:40
  Speaker 5: his age and the newborn baby, so I never saw
• 5:45
  Speaker 5: him happier.
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: As a matter of fact, check out before and after.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: Tell me, doctor Ali Reisa mershow Jay, what led your brother,
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: who's a very handsome man, what led him to have
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: played surgery?
• 6:00
  Speaker 5: Well, I'm not aware that he did any extensive plastic
• 6:03
  Speaker 5: surgery aside from the botox and some hypo you know,
• 6:08
  Speaker 5: for his wrinkle and all that. But he did lose
• 6:11
  Speaker 5: weight and he was working out. He was going to
• 6:14
  Speaker 5: equinox on a daily basis, and he did some implant
• 6:18
  Speaker 5: hearing plant and that made him look even better. The
• 6:22
  Speaker 5: plastic surgery.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: It looks great. What are you dared, ola Resa, he
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: looks amazing again. Joining me in all.
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: Star panel to make sense of what we know right now.
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: But to doctor Eric Eason, following up on what doctor
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: Meir show Jate told us, this is the victim's brother.
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: Doctor Easton board certified forensic pathologist consultant has performed so
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: many autopsies, thousands of autopsies, Doctor Ethan, thank you for
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: being with us. Of course, I understand why police are
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: saying on the same could he have committed suicide? But
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: clearly the trajectory of the bullets, in other words, their
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: path front to back, side to side, downward to upward,
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: left to right and so forth, would clearly indicate this
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: was no suicide.
• 7:12
  Speaker 6: Trajectory does help. Trajectories a piece of the puzzle when
• 7:16
  Speaker 6: determining whether a gunshot wound is a suicidal or homicidal.
• 7:19
  Speaker 6: But you also have location of the entrance wound. That's
• 7:22
  Speaker 6: very helpful. So suicides tend to be intraoral or to
• 7:25
  Speaker 6: the temple area, whereas homicides are going to be like
• 7:28
  Speaker 6: random locations, maybe to the back of the head. And
• 7:31
  Speaker 6: then also factor in circumstances and also witnesses. Witnesses said
• 7:35
  Speaker 6: somebody came up with a mask on and shot him,
• 7:37
  Speaker 6: and then the circumstances. I don't believe a gun was
• 7:39
  Speaker 6: found at the scene, and so that would strongly suggest
• 7:43
  Speaker 6: that this is not going to be a suicide and
• 7:45
  Speaker 6: inflicted by somebody else.
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know how eyewitnesses are always attacted trial by
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: people like Troy Slayton joining us right now, high profile
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: LA criminal defense attorney in this jurisdiction.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: Troy, there's no question this was a hit.
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: Now, the circumstances surrounding the hit, we're not sure of
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: that yet. But for a masked man to run around
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: the corner perfectly timed for when the doctor who is
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: the so called doctor to the stars, beloved by all,
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: comes out of his office same time every day, Troy,
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: you and I've talked about this a million times, comes
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: out of his clinic, same.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: Time as he does every day, to head to his car.
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: At that exact, that precise moment, someone runs around the
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: corner wearing a mask, shoots. No sex attack, no robbery,
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: no drug deal, nothing, and then runs away.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: It's a hit.
• 8:41
  Speaker 7: All the circumstances, including some witness accounts that said that
• 8:45
  Speaker 7: they saw this person the alleged gunman walking around the
• 8:49
  Speaker 7: location for an hour before waiting for the doctor to
• 8:53
  Speaker 7: come out, all lead one to believe that this was
• 8:57
  Speaker 7: a pre planned, premeditated attack by somebody lying in wait.
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: Of course, one of the first places you look is
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: at his family, those closest to him. You look at
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: people he works with every day. You know, familiarity breeds contempt.
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: Who could possibly be angry at him within his own
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: clinic Listenugust.
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: Twenty third is a regular day in the office for
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: doctor Ahmad Meerscherja. His new wife and baby are away
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: visiting her family, and the doctor leaves his clinic about
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: an hour after seeing his last patient for the day.
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: Nothing is out of the ordinary, but the unsolved baseball
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: bat attack of less than three months ago is something
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: that has made the peaceful doctor a bit on edge.
• 9:41
  Speaker 8: They were all screaming in the office when it happened,
• 9:43
  Speaker 8: because they heard his shots. But you could see what's
• 9:46
  Speaker 8: going on and everything Ductor screamed in there. It was horrifying.
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: Now, you were just hearing from our friends at Fox
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: eleven that was a former patient of the doctor. So
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: everything was normal in the office when this went down, screaming,
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: everyone jumping on the floor. They hear gunshots, and of course,

• 10:26
  Speaker 2: the front desk secretary, the assistant vanished for an hour
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: and then she reappeared.
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: Nothing like that.

  Speaker 2: Everybody was there, Everybody was shaken up, and they very
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: quickly ruled out anyone that he was working with.

  Speaker 5: So yes.

• 14:48
  Speaker 1: Good gravy on the reisa what happened.
• 14:52
  Speaker 5: Well, he didn't say what was the reason. And apparently
• 14:58
  Speaker 5: the conversation he had those people that they came at him,
• 15:03
  Speaker 5: obviously they came at him slowly, and this they engaged
• 15:07
  Speaker 5: in a conversation. And then suddenly Hamid tries to run away,
• 15:14
  Speaker 5: and he's telling me that he fell and he was
• 15:18
  Speaker 5: beaten with the baseball bat, but he was able to
• 15:21
  Speaker 5: get up and run, so he doesn't get hurt too much.
• 15:24
  Speaker 5: But his back and his right right shoulder was injured,
• 15:30
  Speaker 5: and also he visited the orthped doctor for rotator coughed
• 15:38
  Speaker 5: and he also spoke with me about his treatment for that.
• 15:46
  Speaker 5: He did not tell me or I don't know if
• 15:49
  Speaker 5: he knew or he didn't tell me, but he didn't
• 15:52
  Speaker 5: tell me what was the reason, and he didn't tell
• 15:56
  Speaker 5: me who did he suspect that initiated that attack. But
• 16:05
  Speaker 5: also he mentioned to me a few days later that
• 16:08
  Speaker 5: maybe a week after that attack, he saw the same
• 16:11
  Speaker 5: person who attacked him in the gas station and he
• 16:15
  Speaker 5: contacted the detective to come and get him, but unfortunately
• 16:20
  Speaker 5: the detectives were busy and they didn't have time to
• 16:23
  Speaker 5: do that. So he was very upset of that matter as.
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: Well, Doctor Olie Reisa. Did he recognize the guys.
• 16:30
  Speaker 5: He didn't know them, But the second time when he
• 16:33
  Speaker 5: saw the person who attacked him at the gas station,
• 16:36
  Speaker 5: he recognized that was one of those people.
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: Tell me about his relationship with the first why.
• 16:43
  Speaker 5: Well, after they were divorced over fifteen years ago, they
• 16:47
  Speaker 5: had a continuous issues, legal issues and legal battles, and
• 16:54
  Speaker 5: they were going in and out of courts every month,
• 17:01
  Speaker 5: as well as the confrontations because he was renting the
• 17:06
  Speaker 5: office in a shopping center that belonged to a hang.
• 17:11
  Speaker 5: That was also another factor that they had some interactions
• 17:18
  Speaker 5: that happened between them.
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: Doctor miche Je, how did she respond to the remarriage
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: and the new baby?
• 17:25
  Speaker 5: Well after the divorce, I was not much in contact
• 17:29
  Speaker 5: with her, maybe overall once or twice a little short conversations.
• 17:37
  Speaker 5: But apparently what she told me was an occasion that
• 17:42
  Speaker 5: I at the funeral as a matter of fact, that
• 17:44
  Speaker 5: he came to the burial of my brother. I didn't
• 17:49
  Speaker 5: want them to see each other, so I asked her that, okay,
• 17:53
  Speaker 5: can you sit on this side so you don't see her.
• 17:56
  Speaker 5: She mentioned that she has nothing against her and she
• 17:59
  Speaker 5: doesn't know her, so that was her response.
• 18:02
  Speaker 9: She worked in the office with him. She was basically
• 18:06
  Speaker 9: running the office, and she was there every time I
• 18:10
  Speaker 9: saw doctor Amade. She would be there all the time.
• 18:13
  Speaker 9: She was the I guess running the whole clinic. She
• 18:18
  Speaker 9: was very friendly, very personable. The only problem was there
• 18:25
  Speaker 9: you could feel it. There was tension between her and
• 18:29
  Speaker 9: her husband, doctor Hamid, and she would be personable, he
• 18:33
  Speaker 9: would be personable, but boy, the tension was palable between
• 18:39
  Speaker 9: the two of them.
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: Doctor mer Showja when did you learn that police law enforcement,
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: they're in LAPD, we're looking at the ex wife as
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: a potential killer.
• 18:52
  Speaker 5: Well, there's a question. At the night of the murderer
• 18:54
  Speaker 5: of Tony Third, the police asked me, and I ask
• 18:58
  Speaker 5: several other people that they knew my brother and maid,
• 19:03
  Speaker 5: who do you think that could have done this? Or
• 19:07
  Speaker 5: who would be the enemy or my brother? And we
• 19:10
  Speaker 5: all didn't have any name in common, I mean, didn't
• 19:14
  Speaker 5: have anybody in mind. And the only thing that everybody
• 19:18
  Speaker 5: was aware was the conflict that Hamid and Ahi had
• 19:23
  Speaker 5: together for many, many years. So that was the only
• 19:27
  Speaker 5: thing that came to everybody's mind at that night, and
• 19:30
  Speaker 5: from then on, I think the police kind of zero
• 19:34
  Speaker 5: in on her and continued their investigations.
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: But here's the thing too, Ishiel saw us Rodriguez joining
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: us in the us son. The witness clearly saw a
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: masked male run around the building, not a female.
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: That's correct, Nancy. How else was the purp described?
• 19:53
  Speaker 11: He was described as a male suspect, Like you said,
• 19:55
  Speaker 11: a hooded was walking around the area, roaming around the
• 19:59
  Speaker 11: clin and he just came up from behind doctor and
• 20:04
  Speaker 11: fired him.
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: And I'm curious, israel I understand that police rated the
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: ex wife's home and took out bag after bag after
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: bag of evidence.
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: Do you have any idea what they found in her home?
• 20:18
  Speaker 11: Well, that Nancy is not disclosed yet. We know that,
• 20:22
  Speaker 11: like you said, this, investigators went to her home in
• 20:25
  Speaker 11: Calabasas and removed certain evidence from their residents.
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: Whatever they found led to this.
• 20:33
  Speaker 12: The horror in the betrayal of this crime is beyond words,
• 20:38
  Speaker 12: and it is with a heavy heart that we have
• 20:40
  Speaker 12: to announce these charges against against the ex wife of
• 20:46
  Speaker 12: doctor Hami Marshojii, hanging Mershojai, in addition to the other
• 20:50
  Speaker 12: co defendants. The depth of this deceit and violence involved
• 20:55
  Speaker 12: in this case is chilling and we will not rest
• 20:59
  Speaker 12: until justice is serve and more. Back on August twenty third,
• 21:04
  Speaker 12: mister Hardman, having been hired by Ahan Mayrshojaii, goes ahead
• 21:10
  Speaker 12: to a parking lot in Woodland Hills, the parking lot
• 21:14
  Speaker 12: at which doctor Hamich Mareshojaii had his medical practice. He
• 21:19
  Speaker 12: was driven, as the accusations have alleged by Ashley Suiteting,
• 21:25
  Speaker 12: she brought mister Hardman to that parking lot. He at
• 21:30
  Speaker 12: that point goes ahead and engages in the act.
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: Of murder to high profile lawyer out of LA joining US,
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: Troy Slaton. This is his jurisdiction, Troy, have you ever
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: heard of d I Y do it yourself. Whenever you
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: have co defendants, everything goes right down the crapper.
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: They cannot keep their yapp shut.
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: Here you've got a very crude attack on the doctor
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: where else outside his clinic, caught on video.
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: Then the idiots if.
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: I go out on a limb and say that are
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: spotted by him again at a gas station, he sees them,
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: he can identify them. Then within weeks he's gunned down.
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: Of course they're going to roll over on.
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: The ex wife. It's a given.
• 22:22
  Speaker 7: There's no honor among thieves.
• 22:24
  Speaker 5: Nancy.
• 22:25
  Speaker 7: You know sometimes we say in criminal law and family
• 22:30
  Speaker 7: law that in family law you have generally good people
• 22:34
  Speaker 7: on their worst behavior, and in criminal law you have
• 22:38
  Speaker 7: sometimes people on their best behavior. And when you have
• 22:42
  Speaker 7: a mixture of criminal and family law, everything is a mess.
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: I don't know what you're saying about good behavior bad behavior.
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: This is a father of a brand new baby girl
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: with a beautiful new wife. The baby party, you remember
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: where she the baby exidentally knocks over the cake and
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: At first, there's a stun silence, and then everybody starts laughing.
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: Was it just what one instagram too many?
• 23:11
  Speaker 7: If you're asking me to explain to you why somebody
• 23:15
  Speaker 7: would hire another person to kill somebody, I can't do it.
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: But what I can tell you is that you do
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: it every day of your life in court Troice Layton,
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: don't tell me you can't spin it out tonight.
• 23:29
  Speaker 7: Look, Nancy, the facts are really bad in this case,
• 23:33
  Speaker 7: and if I was an attorney working on it, I'm
• 23:37
  Speaker 7: going to be looking at any other possible suspects. I'm
• 23:41
  Speaker 7: going to be looking at other possibilities other than the
• 23:46
  Speaker 7: ex wife because this is a purely circumstantial case, and
• 23:52
  Speaker 7: that there's no eyewitness of the wife actually committing the
• 23:59
  Speaker 7: murder or choice.
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: Slayton, I'm just having ation to you. There's no eyewitness
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: of her committing the murder. Yeah, that's how a murder
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: for hiring usually goes. You hire somebody to do it
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: so you're not at the scene. You haven't wondered what
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: was in all of those bags they were carding out
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: of her place.
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: It's called evidence, Slaton. Evidence. You don't see you if
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: she was this angry.
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: About the new wife and all those instances. I mean,
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: those Instagram posts were pretty impressive. It looks straight out
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: of a magazine.
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: The new wife was gorgeous, apparently really sweet lady. Then
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: he seals the deal with a baby, even going so.
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: Far as to have plastic surgery to totally change his
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: appearance to please his new wife.
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: And he does please her.
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: They're happy, and the first wife just couldn't stand it.
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: Let me see Slaton. For Pete's sake, can you imagine?
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: I guarantee you this is going to come out in evidence,
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: all the feverish tics and phone calls she had with
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: her Hinch people. According to the state, it's going to
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: be a treasure trove. Really, she would have the same
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: people commit a bat attack, a baseball bat attack in
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: the parking lot where then the same location and there's
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: surveillance video. For Pete's sake, then they come back for
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: seconds and gun him down. Oh yeah, there's going to
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: be a trail a mile wide choice Layton.
• 25:30
  Speaker 7: So that's going to be the thing that police detectives
• 25:33
  Speaker 7: are honing in on this case as all of the
• 25:36
  Speaker 7: electronic evidence. Uh, They're going to be looking at every computer,
• 25:40
  Speaker 7: every telephone, every tablet, everything, and there's going to be
• 25:45
  Speaker 7: a lot of technical evidentiary objections to how this electronic
• 25:52
  Speaker 7: evidence make a lot.
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: Of Rephrase that you you say that the electronic digital
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: footprint is the strongest evidence, and phrase they got a
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: crap ton of evidence from these code defendants. You think
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: they want the other the getaway girl, No, they don't
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: want her. They want the triggerman and they want the
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: ex wife for obvious reasons.
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: The ex wife is going to be pegged.
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: As the mastermind, if you could call it, the big
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: criminal mastermind and the triggerman because I'd like to see
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: Troy Slayton, because as you know, Troy, a jury will
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: not take down the mastermind. If the Triggerman doesn't go down,
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: they have to go down together. Everybody else is icing
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: on the cake. That's the strongest evidence. The other co
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: defendants will do. You know, the fbis in on this.
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: The other code defendants will do whatever it takes to
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: save their own skin. They're going to rat out the
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: triggerman and the ex wife.
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: It's a done deal.
• 26:54
  Speaker 7: And that's why the district attorney decided to charge them
• 26:57
  Speaker 7: together in this case. These aren't separate cases that are
• 27:01
  Speaker 7: all traveling on their own criminal track. Everybody here in
• 27:06
  Speaker 7: this case has been charged together, and the district attorney
• 27:10
  Speaker 7: is going to seek to try them together. If I
• 27:13
  Speaker 7: was the attorney on the case, one of the first
• 27:15
  Speaker 7: things that I would do is do a motion to
• 27:17
  Speaker 7: set ask for because I don't want a jury, and
• 27:21
  Speaker 7: I'm going to argue to the judge, I don't want
• 27:23
  Speaker 7: a jury to convict my client, my innocent client, just
• 27:27
  Speaker 7: because they don't like this other bad guy, and that
• 27:30
  Speaker 7: they'll impute some of the bad stuff about the co defendant.
• 27:34
  Speaker 9: To my client.
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: That you know what, because that's been gone, that's been
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: picked through with a fine tooth come by the US
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: Supreme Court, you know those justices up in Washington that
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: sit in that big courtroom. Them they absolutely can be
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: tried together. I've tried plenty of code offin it's together
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: in a murder as Nancy, it's not alty case. A.
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: Let me rephrase, I keep hearing something, Oh it's you
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: as not a death penalty case. And B the state
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: can exclude I'm hearing it again, exclude interlocking statements. Simply
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: put in unlocking statements is, for instance, I blame Troy Slayton,
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: he blames me.
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: In statements unless we take the stand.
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: Those statements cannot be cross examined under the sixth Amendment,
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: so they're kept out.
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: Don't need them.
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: So manstory short, they're going to be put in the
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: same pot to steal Slayton. And you can about severance
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: all you want to, but it's not going to happen.
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: They're going to be tried and convicted together.
• 28:41
  Speaker 7: This is a special circumstances case, which means that the
• 28:44
  Speaker 7: death penalty is not off the table. And although in
• 28:47
  Speaker 7: California the governor has a moratorium on carrying out executions,
• 28:52
  Speaker 7: there's a new sheriff in town.
• 28:54
  Speaker 6: There's a new DA.
• 28:55
  Speaker 7: Who is very tough on crime and is not afraid
• 28:58
  Speaker 7: to seek the death penalty in appropriate cases, unlike the
• 29:02
  Speaker 7: past district attorney. So it could very well be in
• 29:06
  Speaker 7: this case that they're going to seek the death penalty.
• 29:09
  Speaker 7: Mancy will burn that bridge.
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: When we get there. Meanwhile, listen to this.
• 29:13
  Speaker 12: At that point, another code defendant who has been charged
• 29:18
  Speaker 12: with the crime of murder as well as carried out
• 29:22
  Speaker 12: for financial gain and assault with a deadly weapon, Sarah
• 29:26
  Speaker 12: Lal Jahwed, is met by mister Hardman. Mister Jahwed then
• 29:31
  Speaker 12: takes mister Hardman to the state of Texas, where mister
• 29:35
  Speaker 12: Hardman is eventually arrested.
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: Doctor Hamad meerserj and his ex wife Shayl lengthy court
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: history after their contentious two thousand and nine divorce. The
• 29:50
  Speaker 3: years that followed saw a multitude of suits, restraining orders,
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: and heavy settlements. Suspicions arise when the doctor is found
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: dead outside his.
• 30:01
  Speaker 13: The LAPD investigation is able to tie Evan Hardman of
• 30:05
  Speaker 13: Tumball Texas and Sarah law jo Ed to the murder
• 30:08
  Speaker 13: and accuses them of carrying out the killing for financial gain.
• 30:12
  Speaker 13: Investigators were also able to tie Harmon and jou Ed
• 30:15
  Speaker 13: to the alleged baseball bat attack on doctor Hamid mersa
• 30:18
  Speaker 13: Jade that happened on May third and left the doctor
• 30:21
  Speaker 13: in fear for his life. Harmon and jou Ed face
• 30:24
  Speaker 13: assault charges for that attack. Ashley Rose Sweeten is charged
• 30:27
  Speaker 13: with one count of being an accessory after the fact.
• 30:30
  Speaker 13: She's accused of driving the shooter to and from the
• 30:33
  Speaker 13: crime scene.
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: It's not the first time that an angry spouse or
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: mate has tried a murder for hire. Does the name
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: Dahlia di Polito ring a bell because I can't get.
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: Her out of my head. Listen how much.
• 30:49
  Speaker 12: Pulling out?
• 30:52
  Speaker 5: I think a lot of times.
• 30:56
  Speaker 10: Right, I was telling you people were into bang on
• 30:59
  Speaker 10: Aline by put money like I know what thank you
• 31:01
  Speaker 10: going to Bolka? Are you familiar with Boca?
• 31:06
  Speaker 6: I know exactly a war belonging.
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: And I know what time he's going to be there.
• 31:10
  Speaker 5: He'll be there early, He'll be there when the bike
• 31:11
  Speaker 5: copd is your husband, Michael, Okay, I'm sorry to tell
• 31:15
  Speaker 5: you then he's been killed.
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: By Detroit Slayton, high profile lawyer and this jurisdiction of
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: LA that's Dahlia Dippolito. Now, much as in the current
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: case with the Dodger Mars show Jay, she tried to
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: murder her husband with a poisoned Starbucks didn't work. Next thing,
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: you know, she hires a hit man, who of course
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: is an undercover agent. Now you just saw her bent
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: over double Meryl Streep move over.
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: She arranged the hit.
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: I've got her aunt tape with the agent arranging the hit,
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: and yet there.
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: She has doubled over screaming.
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: Did you see the cops just going really looking away
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: during the screaming fit?
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: Did you see that?
• 32:13
  Speaker 7: Yes, Nancy, this won't be the first time that somebody
• 32:16
  Speaker 7: is going to deny that they were the person who
• 32:20
  Speaker 7: committed a crime that happens every single day and every
• 32:23
  Speaker 7: single courtroom around the country. If every criminal who was
• 32:27
  Speaker 7: accused of a crime Nancy simply said, oh, yeah, I
• 32:31
  Speaker 7: did it, then you wouldn't have a job in your
• 32:35
  Speaker 7: earlier days as a prosecutor, and neither would I thank.
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: You for your job and career, advised Troy Layton.
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: But right now we're talking about murder, the murder of
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: a doctor, a beloved doctor gunned down in his own
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: clinic parking lot after taking a beating with a bat
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: by the same idiots who gunned him down. And speaking
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: of Dahlia to Belte, I listen, come out.
• 33:00
  Speaker 14: Were seen him before, everything before?
• 33:02
  Speaker 6: Do you know her?
• 33:04
  Speaker 14: Put your head up and look ahead and never dam
• 33:08
  Speaker 14: what were you doing coming out of her house?
• 33:12
  Speaker 9: Did you're not here?
• 33:21
  Speaker 5: You're going to jail to the solicitation, you're under arrest.
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: Bam, okay, Troy Slayton, you know who that guy is
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: that they just brought in to Dollya Dippolito. That was
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: the hit man, the hit man who is the undercover
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: agent and she's like, yeah, I've never seen him in
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: my life.
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: Did you see that?
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: I mean, she's holding it, she's continuing the performance to
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: the very end.
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: I got to give her that kind of credit.
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 33:48
  Speaker 5: That's what criminals do, Nancy.
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 33:51
  Speaker 7: Sometimes they they won't admit it, even when there's overwhelming
• 33:57
  Speaker 7: evidence of guilt, and sometimes that could affect their sentencing
• 34:02
  Speaker 7: later in court, because if somebody can recognize and shows
• 34:07
  Speaker 7: remorse and takes accountability for what they've done, then that
• 34:11
  Speaker 7: could be a mitigating factor that gets them a lower sentence.
• 34:15
  Speaker 7: And sometimes, let me just say one more thing. You know,
• 34:18
  Speaker 7: as a criminal defense attorney, one of the things that
• 34:21
  Speaker 7: we try and do if we feel like the person's
• 34:24
  Speaker 7: going to be convicted, is we try and build as
• 34:28
  Speaker 7: many mitigating factors as we can to try and convince
• 34:31
  Speaker 7: the judge that this person should get the lowest punishment possible.
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: Okay, you're actually giving me a headache.
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: I want you to listen to Dahlia Dippolito when they
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: tell her her husband the ones she hired the hit
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: man to kill after she tried to poison him dead.
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: Her husband is alive. Okay, watch this, Oh my god,
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: you glory.
• 34:54
  Speaker 9: Come here, please, come here, thank, Come here, come here, please?
• 35:02
  Speaker 13: Why any.
• 35:05
  Speaker 6: When come here?
• 35:06
  Speaker 11: Please?
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the husband has been listening to all the undercover
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: tapes of her talking about where he would be and
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: try to make it look like, you know, a robbery
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: gone wrong. He heard the whole thing. Now she keeps
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: a straight face. Now what we when you don't know
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: a horse? Look at a track record. We know what
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: did Pulito did before. We know what she would do
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: at trial. Same thing here.
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: We know what the defendant has done before. We know
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: what she's gonna do at trial.
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: Even now, she's say Mike, come here, come here, as
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: if he's going to run over and give her a
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: big wet kiss.
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: She tried to have him killed.
• 35:43
  Speaker 7: Troy, like Shakespeare said, the lady protests too much, methinks
• 35:48
  Speaker 7: somebody can do.
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: Not start with me quoting Shakespeare. Okay, and he didn't
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: say the lady duck protests so much. Go back to
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: your polysygn Major said me thinks thou dost protest too much.
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: I don't know what that has to do with a
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: cold blood and murder out in a parking lot.
• 36:06
  Speaker 7: What it means is that if somebody is putting it
• 36:10
  Speaker 7: on too thick then detectives may think that that person
• 36:14
  Speaker 7: is not being truthful if they're protesting too much about
• 36:19
  Speaker 7: what they're being accused of.
• 36:21
  Speaker 14: The LAPD rated the Calabasas mansion of doctor Hamid Marshoj's
• 36:25
  Speaker 14: ex wife, a Hang Marshoj. Police officers are seen going
• 36:28
  Speaker 14: in and out of the home multiple times during the raid.
• 36:31
  Speaker 14: Coming days after charges have been brought against at least
• 36:34
  Speaker 14: three other people in the ambush style attack of Marshoj,
• 36:37
  Speaker 14: we are here.
• 36:38
  Speaker 12: To announce the additional charges that have been filed in
• 36:42
  Speaker 12: the murder case of doctor Hamid s Mirshojai. The charges
• 36:48
  Speaker 12: today have been filed against his ex wife, Ahang Mayrshojai.
• 36:54
