Kind of worried how all this goes down with Judge Vonda Avans presiding.

Another example of why Detroit is the way it is. Wow just wow!

Though a murderer, Gentz was also a stooge, they need to get Bob for this.

What do you mean by this?

This situation is also a little fucked up to me.

It's implying he had a mastermind, who hasn't even been charged with the crime.

I also don't like it when simple minded stooges get more time than the brains that manipulate them.

I don't know if I'd use "Mastermind" to describe "Big Bobb's" mind.

He's definitely not an intelligent scumbag--he tried hard to scrape up the few brain cells he had when choosing someone dumber than himself do his dirty work. Not hard enough, BigB!
O.o
I believe he'll be charged soon.

Hopefully with about 4000 volts.

Despite anyone's personal thoughts on Bashara's guilt or innocence, isn't it a little over the line for a judge to be making the comments below, about someone who has yet to be charged or even indicted? Gentz could be telling the truth but it's also obvious he's not playing with a full deck, I'd think that any decent judge would wait to share their opinions until after a case is tried.

Have yet to read anything similar from any of the Federal Judges who've heard the numerous cases of Kilpatrick's already convicted associates, the Feds only address the case and individual before them during sentencing. Sure, the U.S. District Court is a far cry from our sad 36th District but professional is professional, isn't it?

"All you wanted to do is feel empowered and needed by a person who used you to achieve his goals: freedom from his marriage," Evans said.

very true Bopcity

Vonda Evans doesn't play, she'll surely drop the hammer on him, just like she did those five guys who kidnapped and killed those 2 young women found by the Rouge River. But why hasn't "Big Bob" been charged? He clearly had her killed.
