Yes, as everything with Sir Griem is, it truly was a Ringling Bros. special. He literally was YELLING in court, I've never seen him in court before and it is atrocious how he conducts himself.
Judge King was having none of it and refused to partake in the delay du jour.
Most comical line is Judge King telling Bob "look-you get 2 attorneys" when he was forcing Griem and Bashara to soldier on (referring to the fact that Griem stays plus Bashara gets to have his fresh new attorney at the preliminary hearing also). Buy one, get one free---and more likely both will be free....
Edit---look @ pic above--see that sneer at the edge of his lips?

Attorney’s request to withdraw from Bashara case denied
"Griem can't quit Bashara, but will only assist"
Posted: 07/19/12 11:38 am
Judge Kenneth King of 36th District Circuit Court in Detroit denied David Griem’s request to withdraw as attorney for Bob Bashara, Thursday.
Bashara is being held on a $15 million bond in Wayne County Jail on a charge with solicitation to murder Joe Gentz, the handyman accused of killing Bashara’s wife, Jane. Authorities say he tried to hire someone to kill Gentz, who is behind bars.
Griem cited “irreparable breakdown” in their attorney-client relationship as the reason why they plan to withdraw from the case, according to court documents.
Griem will be forced to represent Bashara at a hearing next Tuesday. The judge will allow Bashara to hire a new attorney whom Griem will have to assist as advisory council.

Judge denies Bashara's attorney's request

David Griem isn't going anywhere. That's the ruling from a Wayne County Judge.
Griem had requested to be taken off the Jane Bashara murder case. He's the lawyer for Jane's husband, Bob Bashara. The judge says Griem needs a better reason than the one he gave.
In court on Thursday, Bashara also told the judge he wants Griem off his case, saying he has become a little less effective than he had hoped for.
Prosecutors say it's all in an effort to delay Bashara's preliminary exam, which is scheduled for Tuesday.
Bashara is currently behind bars on charges he attempted to hire a hit man to kill Joe Gentz. Gentz is the handyman charged with the first degree murder of Bashara's wife. Gentz claims Bashara hired him to kill his wife.
Griem has already tried to have the preliminary exam delayed twice, but prosecutors turned down both requests citing concerns about witnesses.
For now, the preliminary exam will continue as scheduled. Bashara can hire another attorney, but Griem has to stay on the case until he does.
Prosecutors also want Griem held in contempt of court for sharing documents related to Bob's arrest with his mother - documents that were supposed to be under seal. They were recently discovered by Jane's sister at Bob Bashara's house.

Griem denied motion to leave Bashara

DETROIT (WJBK) -
A 36th District Court judge has denied a motion by attorney David Griem to withdraw from representing Bob Bashara.
< SNIP >
Legal analyst Charlie Langton says if Griem wants off the case, he's going to have to give the judge a better reason than a relationship breakdown. Langton also says it's a "big deal" that Griem filed the motion just days before the preliminary exam.
It appears Langton was right. Judge Kenneth J. King said Griem didn't provide a compelling reason to withdraw. King also had concerns about pushing back the exam after prosecutors said a key witness in the case had health problems.
King went on to say: "You just can't come in and say, 'I quit.' It doesn't work like that."
Bob Bashara sat in court during today's hearing and he has indicated that he wants a new attorney.
For the now Griem remains Bashara's attorney.

Another twist in the Jane Bashara murder case. The lawyer for her husband wants out.
On Wednesday, David Griem filed an emergency motion notifying Detroit's 36th District Court he wishes to withdraw as Bashara's attorney. In the paperwork, he cited a breakdown in the relationship with Bashara, a man who may need him now more than ever.
Bashara is currently behind bars on charges he attempted to hire a hit man to kill Joe Gentz. Gentz is the handyman charged with the first degree murder of Bashara's wife. Gentz claims Bashara hired him to kill his wife.
According to legal analyst Charlie Langton, if Griem wants off the case, he's going to have to start talking - giving the judge a better reason than a relationship breakdown. Langton also says it's a "big deal" that Griem filed the motion just days before the preliminary exam.
Griem did the same thing when he represented Stephen Grant in 2007. He said the two had "irreconcilable differences."
A hearing on Griem's request is scheduled for Thursday at 8:30am.

Bashara attorneys Griem, Utley ask to quit
By Christine Ferretti and George Hunter
The Detroit News

Detroit — Robert Bashara's defense team has filed an emergency motion seeking to stop representing him over an unspecified breakdown.
David Griem's office filed the motion Wednesday in 36th District Court to step down along with co-counsel Christina Utley. An emergency hearing is scheduled at 8:30 a.m. Thursday before Chief Judge Kenneth King.
King said Griem will have to present a valid reason to step down. If the judge excuses him, Bashara may obtain other counsel.
"David Griem and Christina Utley both filed the motion to withdraw," King said. "They kept their comments very brief; they said it was an irreparable breakdown in the attorney-client relationship."

Judge: Bashara's Attorney Must Remain on Case
Despite being a mutual motion by David Griem and Bob Bashara, a 36th District Court judge ruled Thursday that Griem must remain on the case and the preliminary exam for next week must go on. Griem was ordered to help any new attorney hired in the case.

< SNIP >
In his ruling Thursday, King also stated that the preliminary exam scheduled for next Tuesday must happen as an important witness in the case has health problems that are of concern to the court, according to the Free Press.
The preliminary exam is a hearing in which the judge determines whether the prosecutor's have sufficient evidence to continue pursuing the charge filed against the defendent.
While preliminary exams are often waived by the person accused of the crime, generally in higher profile cases that include offenses carrying life sentences, such as Bashara's, the hearing is not waived.
Should Bashara choose to have his preliminary exam, there will likely be the introduction of evidence, including witness testimony--all of which is evaluated by the judge to determine whether the case may continue.
During Bashara's arraignment, Griem hinted repeatedly at the possibility of the preliminary exam taking two days to complete--a likely indication that many wintnesses are scheduled to testify.
Although neither Griem nor Bashara explained the specific reasons for wanting to part ways, both told the judge they wanted to go their own way, according to the Free Press.

How Unpopular Is Bob Bashara? His Attorney Wants To Quit But Judge Says No
July 18th, 2012, 5:13 PM
How unpopular is Robert Bashara these days?
Answer: Even his attorney David Griem wants to quit.
But apparently the unholy alliance will remain, at least for now.

Attorney David Griem must stay on the Bob Bashara case for now, judge rules UPDATED
Published: Friday, July 20, 2012
By JAMESON COOK
For The Oakland Press
Bob Bashara and David Griem were denied in their attempt to remove Griem as Bashara’s attorney for his solicitation of murder charge related to the murder of Bashara’s wife.
“You just can’t come in and say, ‘I quit,’” King told Griem. “It doesn’t work like that.”
King wanted more explanation for the withdrawal, but Griem countered he didn’t have to provide details because both he and his client agree to it.
Griem, after the hearing, said he planned to appeal the ruling to Wayne County Circuit Court, possibly Thursday afternoon.
Assistant prosecutor Lisa Lindsey questioned whether the withdrawal request was a “delaying tactic,” noting that Griem in the past few days twice asked the prosecution to agree to an adjournment and then suddenly Wednesday wanted to resign.
Griem denied that claim and said he asked for the delay for “another reason” but didn’t elaborate.
Other matters arose during the hearing.
Lindsey accused Griem of violating King’s order that no evidence in the case can be divulged to anyone after Jane Bashara’s sister found about 40 pages of evidentiary documents in the Bashara home in Grosse Pointe Park.
Griem admitted in court that he shared information with Bashara’s mother and “another person.”
He said he wasn’t sure the order would cover “talking with the mother of the defendant, an 80-some-year-old woman who is out of her wits” over her son being charged with solicitation of murder and a person of interest in Jane Bashara’s death.
That issue, as well as another issue regarding subpoenas in the case, will be addressed at a subsequent hearing, the judge decided.

I am not sure how accurate this is, but there is possibly another hearing ... on Friday
"At the request of Wayne County prosecutors, another hearing was for Friday to see if Griem violated a court order in disclosing certain material connected to the case to a member of Bashara’s family."

That picture of Bob just illustrates his pompous attitude toward his situation. A normal person would be shell-shocked and/or weeping=certainly wouldn't be making faces and whining about how badly people are treating him in the media. There is no remorse in this man AT ALL.
Even the grandmother who killed her grandson recently wept in court. Not Bob.
I can almost guarantee when he made that face Lisa Lindsay (now I know her name, love her) must have been talking. It's obvious he has no respect for her or respect for women in general and allows himself to show that when she speaks. When the male prosecutor is speaking he is simply paying attention.
