Bashara arraigned on solicitation to murder, bond set at $15M

Detroit — Robert Bashara was "unraveling" out of fear that his former handyman would testify against him in connection with his wife's murder, so he spent about two weeks this month negotiating to have the ex-employee killed in jail, prosecutors said Wednesday.

Bashara, 54, was arraigned Wednesday in 36th District Court on a solicitation of murder charge, which carries a penalty of up to life in prison. Prosecutors said Bashara paid a man — and tried to pay another — to kill Joe Gentz, a handyman who is in jail awaiting trial in the death of Bashara's wife, Jane.
