LEE COUNTY, Fla. -- The trial for a man accused of plotting to kill his wife, a prominent Bonita Springs doctor, is being delayed this summer.
Investigators say Mark Sievers hired Curtis Wright and Jimmy Rodgers to kill his wife, Teresa Sievers, in 2015.
At a pretrial hearing Thursday, the defense said they still need time to prepare for the trial, which was scheduled for June 3rd.
A new trial is tentatively scheduled for September.
Sievers and Rodgers face the death penalty if convicted.
Wright is currently serving a 25-year prison sentence after taking a plea deal.
