Awaiting trial for 8 years, BR man charged in his ex-wife's murder plot denied another delay

BATON ROUGE - A Baton Rouge businessman accused of having his ex-wife killed in a gruesome murder-for-hire plot was denied another delay in his trial, a wait that's already dragged on more than eight years. Arrested in May 2015, 72-year-old Hamid Ghassemi is charged with first-degree murder in the killing of his ex-wife, Taherah Ghassemi. She was kidnapped, shot in the head and found buried in a remote part of St. Helena Parish about a month after she went missing back in 2015. &nb
