SEX, MURDER AND MASOCHISM! The trial of Bob Bashara

[Savonarola]

S&M, sex take center stage in Bashara case

The details of an alleged secret sex life of a successful developer accused of slaying his wife are coming to light in a Michigan courtroom this week.

Prosecutors say Bob Bashara killed his wife, Jane Bashara, so he could maintain his sadomasochistic fantasies and multiple mistresses.

Jane Bashara's body was found on January 25, 2012, in the back seat of her SUV. Her body was bruised, and she had been strangled to death. An autopsy showed that she had broken fingernails and bruising that indicated she fought back.

Prosecutors are presenting part of their case this week as a preliminary hearing. They are trying to show they have enough evidence to go forward with a trial against Bashara in the death of his wife. Bashara is charged with first-degree murder, and if convicted, he is facing life in prison. In Michigan, the death penalty is not an option.

Prosecutors called Stan Brue, a special agent with the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, to the stand Tuesday to testify about sexually explicit texts found on Bashara's cell phone, which were sent to someone other than his wife.

One text sent to an Oregon phone number said, "Kneel and know you are mine. You can, but feel my whip."

Prosecutors also called one of Bashara's former business associates to the stand Monday to testify about how Bashara had introduced him to the BDSM -- bondage, discipline and sadomasochism -- lifestyle.

Robert John Godard said he knew Bashara had a dungeon in the basement of one his businesses. He also said Bashara had a mistress named Rachel Gillette, who he called a "slave."

Godard said Bashara "cared for Rachel very much. They were going to make a life together."

Bashara's relationship with his wife eventually started to deteriorate because of his BDSM lifestyle and his relationship with his mistress, according to Godard.

"We were having lunch one day and he asked me if I knew anybody who could put a hurt on somebody," said Godard. "I said I didn't know anybody."

Testimony in the case continues Wednesday.

I saw that HLN had a segment on this landmark case.  Like all crucial matters of jurisprudence it involves kinky sex and murder.  Unfortunately Bashara, his mistress, his wife and his handyman are all middle-aged and not all that attractive; so this cannot be 24-7 court TV.  Even a sex dungeon cannot undo the damage of the years.

Hey. Nothing wrong with middle age. 

[PDH]

Hey. Nothing wrong with middle age. 

yes there is....my back hurts.

[Ed Anger]

My back hurts, my hip hurts and my beard is gray.

[garbon]

Hey. Nothing wrong with middle age. 

There is for the people in question in this case.

So, was he upset that his wife was going to leave him...?

[Ed Anger]

Bitches be snitches.

[Eddie Teach]

Hey. Nothing wrong with middle age. 

he means the women too

[Ed Anger]

Hey. Nothing wrong with middle age.

Oh ick.

Here's Bob and Rachel in happier days:

While murdering your spouse is perfectly acceptable for a media phenomenon; being old and plain is not.  For this reason this trial is never going to fill the public conscience to the brim and linger to the very moment the next tabloid murder trial begins.

Yeah, the ugly, elderly and infirm take all the fun out of BDSM sex trials.

But that's the ironicalness paradox of BDSM;  it's an acquired taste that takes a long time to develop and nurture, like a delicate, latex-encased flower.  That's why, with some exceptions, so many women don't really get into it until the emotional and sexual maturity of their 30s and 40s. 

Shit, can't even begin to tell you the fucking hoops of international arms control negotiations I had to jump through to convince my high school girlfriend to :youwanttodowhat: :ballgag: :hotwheelstracks:

[garbon]

That's why BDSM should be put to sleep. Its practitioners are depressing.

And the poor girl's been in therapy for the last twenty years.

She earned it.
