The wealthy California tech CEO accused of murdering his wife during a bitter divorce battle with millions of dollars at stake is now facing the death penalty, it was revealed in court on Thursday.
Gordon Abas Goodarzi, 66, who appeared in a San Bernardino court wearing an orange prison jumpsuit, did not speak when the district attorney made a “special circumstances filing,” saying Goodarzi killed his wife for financial gain.
