This guy, Roop Raj ... I noticed he tends to tweet non Bashara related tweets ... and him being added into that "Bashara" combined tweet thingy ... is kinda out of place (his many tweets) ... lol

Oh, well

I have two funerals in the next two days, so I will count on your tweet reports. You are all doing so great! Thanks again.

 

[Woe.be.gone]

Seven people took the stand today, October 15th.

William McQueen ~ Attended St. Michael's Episcopal Church in Grosse Pointe along with Jane and bb.

Police Officer Lori Briggs ~ an Evidence Technician who processed the scene on Detroit's east side where a Mercedes was found dumped that belonged to Jane Bashara. Jane's dead body was found inside her vehicle.

The two witnesses above are the third and fourth witnesses called to the stand (but first and second witnesses on Wednesday).

Patrick Webb (known as Sir Rick within the "lifestyle") ~ Owner of a lifestyle club that bb contributed to and attended. SR knew bb as a business partner and friend. Also SR has direct knowledge of bb's place known as The Dungeon. SR made/created/provided some of the accessories used in the dungeon.

Frank Leone ~ The Tow Truck driver who saw what he thought to be a stolen car (Jane's Mercedes) and phoned it in to police.

Paul Samona ~ Part Owner of Art's Liquor store. Joe Gentz frequented the store and cashed a check (bounced) there.

Eugene Fitzhugh ~ DPD Crime Scene Service Unit, Evidence Tech

Rachel Gillett ~ Met bb through an adult website in 2008. She became his mistress.

On the first day of witnesses, October 14th, Robert Godard (known as Sir Patrick in the BDSM lifestyle) was the first person to take the stand. He visited the dungeon several times and played golf with bb.

The second person on the stand was Rebecca Forton. She used bb's management company to help find a tenant for her mother's property in Grosse Pointe in late Summer 2011.

Nine people have testified so far, two on the first day and seven on the second day.

So sorry for your loss

If anyone is inclined there is a ton of video on you tube from the Prelim. Hearing. I just finished this one. Jessica Bashara Testimony (daughter) refreshed my mind on a few points. Such as the ring Bob gave Rachel was originally given to Jane. Much more.

ETA- Daughters testimony starts around the 29 min. mark

This isn't directly related to the case, but I've seen something in a couple of courtroom pictures that have been posted previously in this thread - there is a brunette woman sitting in the front of the courtroom who always appears to be holding something over her face - it's not a typical dust or surgical mask that somebody might wear if ill, and it's not the right shape for a coffee mug.

Anybody have any ideas what it might be, while we wait for the case to continue tomorrow morning?

I don't know how it works, but I believe that is the court reporter and she speaks into that cone-shaped recorder. not sure if it ends up as a transcript or if she then has to type it out.

edited to add: I found it--- it is probably called a stenomask. Here is a description of how it works:

Thank you very much! That makes perfect sense. I have never seen a stenomask before (somebody should adapt these for teenagers to use in movie theaters).

Bashara's mistress, Rachel takes stand. She appears very nervous & avoids eye contact w Bob @Local4News #BobBashara

That first pic was one of those perfect moment shots.
It looks like the officer is holding a giant microphone up to Rachel :giggle:
