Bob Bashara will be arriagned on several charges next week in the strangulation death of his wife Jane Bashara following an investigation spanning multiple states and nearly 300 witnesses.

Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy announced several charges early Wednesday against Bashara. She was surrounded by more than a dozen people from various agencies who helped in the investigation and without, Worthy said, charges never would have resulted.

The charges include:

• first degree murder
• conspiracy to commit first degree murder
• solicitation to commit murder
• suborning of perjury during a capital trial
• witness intimidation
• obstruction of justice

Bashara is currently serving a prison sentence on a second, related case involving his former handyman, Joe Gentz, whom he tried to have killed while in jail to prevent him from testifying. Bashara is currently being housed in Manistee in Oaks Correctional Facility.

He will be brought from prison to Wayne County's 36th District Court next week to make his first appearance on the charges announced Wednesday.

< SNIP >

Bashara faces mandatory life in prison on the first degree murder charge; up to life on each the conspiracy, solicitation and suborning counts; 15 years for witness intimidation; and five years for obstruction of justice.

Worthy provided general examples during the 20 minute press conference in her office Wednesday. Among them, she said, Bashara tried to get at least one witness to move out of state so investigators could not talk to him or her.

She declined to answer specific questions about where the crime happened, whether any DNA evidence is part of the case and Bob Bashara's motive to kill his wife.

As a local (north-suburban Detroit), I am pleased to see trials moving forward and/or justice rendered in several cases. D'Andre Lane was sentenced to LWOP in the death of his 2-year-old daughter, Bianca. Sandra Layne was found guilty of second-degree murder for killing her grandson, Jonathan Hoffman and will be sentenced today. Patrick Mikes, Jr.'s trial for the murder of his father, Patrick Mikes, Sr. starts in early June. And, finally, Bob Bashara has been charged along with hit man, Joe Gentz, in the murder of his wife, Jane.

I'm still waiting and hoping that an arrest will be made in the murder of Eastern Michigan University student, Julia Niswender, and I also hope that someone will eventually be brought to justice in the hit-and-run death of Sandra Loepp.

My thoughts and prayers are with Jane Bashara's family as they come to terms with the reality that her husband has been implicated in this despicable crime. Justice for Jane :scale:

BBM: He deserved the DP IMO not LWOP!
 
Hey SweetT :seeya:

Not in Michigan however (regardless if he deserves it or not) ... :(

Bashara to be formally charged with wife’s murder

Bob Bashara is expected to appear in a Detroit courtroom Wednesday to formally face allegations that killed his wife through a cohort.

Bashara will be charged with first-degree murder, solicitation of murder, suborning of perjury during a capital trial, witness intimidation and obstruction of justice in front of Magistrate Laura Echartea in 36th District Court in Detroit.

< SNIP >

The 6 foot, 3 inch, 265-pound Bashara will be transported from a state prison for the hearing since he is already serving a sentence of 80 months to 20 years in prison for trying to have Gentz killed last June while Gentz was housed in the Wayne County Jail facility.

< SNIP >

Magistrate Echartea is expected to schedule a district court preliminary examination at which the prosecution will be required to establish probable cause that a crime was committed and Bashara committed it, unless he and his attorney, Mark Kriger, decide to waive the hearing.

Criminal defense attorney Steve Kaplan, a former assistant prosecutor in Wayne and Macomb counties, said he expects Gentz to testify since he is the key witness in the case.

“You need him to meet the threshold,” Kaplan said, adding that prosecutors at trial will supplement his testimony with an excessive amount of corroboration evidence.

Kaplan said he expects minimal delays in the proceedings and a trial to be started by the end of the year. The trial itself could be lengthy – several weeks or more -- in part because the lead attorneys, Kriger and assistant Wayne prosecutor Lisa Lindsey, are meticulous trial attorneys.

Jane Bashara graduated from Mount Clemens High School. She most recently worked as a marketing manager for an energy consulting company in Detroit after working for Detroit Edison for 25 years.

 
Bob Bashara to make first court visit in wife's death

7:41 AM, May 1, 2013

Budget woes delayed the first court appearance for Bashara, who was charged two weeks ago with first-degree murder and charges related to intimidating witnesses, encouraging witnesses to lie under oath, encouraging people to call in fake tips and trying to have one witness leave the state.

Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy’s officer announced Bashara’s appearance in a release issued Tuesday. He’s scheduled to appear before Magistrate Laura A. Echartea at 1:30 p.m. in 36th District Court in downtown Detroit. He also faces charges of conspiracy to commit first-degree murder, solicitation to commit murder, suborning of perjury during a capital trial, witness intimidation and obstruction of justice.

Bashara has been in a Manistee prison, sentenced to serve between 6½ and 20 years for trying to hire a hitman to kill handyman Joseph Gentz.
