The arraignment of Bob Bashara in Wayne County Circuit on charges that he attempted to hire a hitman was adjourned Tuesday for one week to allow his new defense attorney to be present at the proceedings.

Griem had asked to be allowed to stop representing Bashara when the case was in 36th District Court, but he was unsuccessful. "Certain things happened in the relationship which just made it impossible for the two of us to go together," Griem said outside the court building in Detroit. "In regards to Mr. Bashara's defense, we were not only not on the same page, we weren't even in the same book." …

Grosse Pointe Park investigators will be able to gather a handwriting sample from Bob Bashara without his attorney present after a ruling was issued Wednesday.
One week after attorney David Griem argued to be present for the gathering of a handwriting sample from his client Bob Bashara, a Third Circuit Court Judge denied the request.

The couple was well known within the Grosse Pointes and her unexpected, violent death was a shock to the normally quiet and low-crime suburb of Detroit. Jane Bashara's body was found in the back of her SUV in January in …
