Bashara's former friend says he felt manipulated

[...]
man who was with Robert Bashara the night his wife was killed said Monday he felt manipulated into providing the Grosse Pointe businessman an alibi.
Michael Carmody said Bashara asked him to meet for drinks at the Hard Luck Lounge on Mack Ave. on Jan. 24, 2012, the night Jane Bashara was strangled in her garage.

Carmody was one of seven witnesses Monday in Bashara's murder-for-hire trial that entered its eighth week. He began testifying last week and was cross-examined Monday, saying he felt his friendship with Bashara was based on lies.

"It was a horrible set of circumstances....that tore apart a friendship that apparently never existed. It was all part of the game."

Bashara testimony Tuesday includes friend of Jane, medical examiner
[...]
Judge Vonda Evans has ordered media not to stream the proceedings live except for opening and closing statements. You can still follow along
[...]
will be live blogging from the courtroom, which you can read above.
[...]
It was after Sandy Ennis spoke at the funeral for her friend, Jane Bashara, she was trying to comfort Bob .
[....]
'Bob, you just have to have faith in the justice system," she testified. "
[...]
'I will probably be in jail.

"'I have been told I will be arrested right after this luncheon, they think I killed my wife.'"

Ennis has just gotten together with Jane a week or so before she was murdered - Bob was supposed to come too. But Jane emailed Sandy - that Bob had to go to Oregon instead.

"Bob has just found out he needs to go to Portland Oregon for sales training. this weekend,"
[....]
She remembers Jane being happy for her husband.

"She was quite excited and thought it was going to be really good for him and would help him in his sales,"
[...]
Jane had no idea Bob was actually in Oregon to meet Janet Leehmann - a possible second woman to join his BDSM lifestyle with Rachel Gillett.

Sandy would later learn about the other women - after she received a note from bob thanking her for speaking at Jane's
[.....]
"He wrote this in the card - he said you know how much Jane means to me and how much I loved her and he said you are going to hear some stuff in the media you should just ignore all that you know how much I loved Jane."

Other testimony was heard Tuesday that Bashara was trying to cover his tracks elsewhere, making sure his tenant and her friends saw him sweeping the alley the night of Jane's death -
[...]
"What did the defendant say to you about his wife," a lawyer asked tenant Missy Keller.

"That he did not kill his wife and that he hoped he didn't go down for something somebody else did,"
[....]
Keller said she never asked if he killed his wife.
[....]
Keller testified Bashara even asked her to write a character letter - she didn't want anything to do with it. But she acknowledged he had always been good to her - even when she was late with rent recalling an odd conversation.
[...]
said 'That you don't have to pay late fees I'll just give you spankings instead.'"
[....]
were never any spankings - just that odd comment.
Also testifying was a Wayne County medical examiner.

"Her windpipe was fractured," said Dr. Francisco Diaz. "It's like a person drowning on dry land."
[....]
shakes, his face red and he even wipes away a tear as Diaz, a Wayne County medical examiner recounted in graphic detail how Jane was murdered.

No oxygen to her lungs - no oxygen to her brain - Joseph gentz pleaded guilty to strangling Jane Bashara.
[....]
alleged he also stomped on her neck, he told police while Bob Bashara put a gun to his head - and made him do it.
[...]
Diaz testifies, Bashara appeared to be mouthing why - why.
[...]
Jane Bashara wasn't just strangled - the jurors shown graphic photos of her injuries and the autopsy that showed blunt force trauma was also a factor in her death.
[....]
Bashara is already serving time after he was convicted of trying to hire someone to kill Gentz in prison. According to prosecutors, in 2012 he gave someone $2,000 to kill Gentz in jail.
[...]
Bashara has denied any involvement in her death.

no chance of a verdict today
Bob the Knob is sick

hopefully tomorrow
 
figures we wait years for verdict and Bob The Knob is in hosp AGAIN
so no verdict for few days
I dont see why he has to be in the courtroom
Ive seen millions of verdicts in absentia
this Judge Vonda has kissed his ass from day one and I'm wondering of shes one of his clients in his bondage things
 
Last edited:
I almost want to take pleasure in the fact that his kids have nothing to do with him
they are young adults not little kids
but to me I think losing all contact with my kids like that would kill me

this isnt the end yet though
now to do something with the handyman
because he got his deal with the understanding he testify against Bob
then backed out day before trial began
 
A man convicted of ordering the murder of his wife so he could devote himself to a life of bondage and domination claimed his wife gave him permission to continue his unconventional lifestyle.

Bob Bashara from Detroit has petitioned Wayne County Circuit Court to overturn his first-degree murder conviction and life sentence claiming his constitutional rights were violated during his trial last year.

Bashara was convicted last December of ordering his wife, Jane's murder, in 2012.
[...]
However, Bashara, who was known as 'Master Bob', claimed his attorneys failed to represent him properly during the salacious trial by advising him against taking to the stand and testifying in his own defence.

He said: 'I felt that I was grossly misled by that.'

He said he had an ineffective defence.
