GUILTY MI - Jane Bashara, 56, dies in contract killing, Grosse Pointe Park, 25 Jan 2012 #4

[Bravo]

That handwritten note from Jane re: her missing wedding ring that her girlfriend found IN THE TRASH really broke my heart. Did anyone ever find her ring? Maybe wound up in a pawn shop? OMG what a horrible case!

Court is on today. Normally it is Mon-Thurs. 9:30 a.m. to 3:45. EST. I do remember something about Jane's wedding ring being found. Not sure if it was stated during Opening Statements? For some reason I keep thinking it was found of course by Bob in the house. I wonder if he did intend to pawn it knowing what was going to happen to Jane. It is a horrible case. I'll try to look for that info to clarify.

I found some info but it's a blog I cant link here. The wedding ring was found by Bob in the bedroom (um ok) after the Murder. The ring had an estimated value of 7k. Just a guess but I'm thinking Bob became aware of the note found in the trash? Or at the very least the heat was on and pawning it would be a really bad move.

I'll be in and out today. If anyone can fill in with the tweets that would be great. TIA.

This testimony should be interesting. I remember-could have been from Prelim. or a news report that Bob had sent Janet L. a few giftys to entice her into the 3some. I remember it was a sweaty T shirt Bob claimed he wore for 3 days (Gawd) And 2 gift cards to Olive Garden. He would have had me at the Olive Garden Gifty LMAO NOT!!! I cant remember if there was a 3rd gift??? Or maybe the t shirt and 2 gift cards accounted for 3?

Monday #bobbashara left off with witness Frances Natale's bond hearing. Natale knows Joe Gentz. She is flight risk.

I think Frances may have been a Frank? Or a Frank that wants to be a Frances? No judgement just sayin.....

Bob tried to woo her into a threesome with Rachel by mailing her his dirty t-shirt, a leather collar, and 2 Olive Garden gift certificates.

George Hunter ‏@GeorgeHunter_DN 12m12 minutes ago Now, I think they're going to deal with the 7 txt messages between #bobbashara and Joe Gentz today, to see which of them will be allowed. It's unclear whether the texts in question were indeed between #bobbashara and Gentz. We shall see... The jury is here for #bobbashara. Testimony about to begin. O'Rearden (sp?) came in contact with #bobbashara on Jan. 27, 2012.

"Judge Evans asked if it surprised the agent that someone would lie about an affair. He said people have done that in the past." - tweet from George Hunter. I have never heard a judge ask a witness a general question like this (relating to facts of the case) -- I've heard them state procedural things during a trial, but nothing like this! Anyone?
