DETROIT (WXYZ) - In a plea deal announced Friday morning in the courtroom of Judge Vonda Evans, handyman Joe Gentz pleaded guilty to the murder of Jane Bashara of Grosse Pointe Park.
“Bob Bashara promised me money and threatened to kill me,” said Joe Gentz as he read from a document Friday.
Gentz entered a guilty plea to a charge of second degree murder.
Gentz’s deal means he will go to jail for between 17 but no more than 28 years.
His plea means he gave up his right to a jury trial.
