Details of Jane Bashara's Death Revealed in Court Testimony

Medical Examiner Dr. Francisco J. Diaz took the stand Tuesday during Bob Bashara's preliminary exam for allegedly killing his wife, Jane, according to a story on clickondetroit.com.

He testified that Jane died in Jan. 2012 from strangulation, her windpipe was crushed and she had internal bleeding in her neck from the force, according to the story.

As Diaz described how long it took for Jane to die, which took about three or four minutes according to a story in The Detroit Free Press, Bob Bashara reportedly got emotional and wiped his eyes.

Another witness testified that Bashara was high on cocaine in June 2012 and admitted to killing his wife, according to a story in The Detroit News.  Paul Monroe, who reportedly gave Bashara cocaine, testified that Bashara told him that he had his wife killed because he could lose money in a divorce, the story stated.

The last of the seven witnesses called Tuesday was Robert Fick, the story stated. Fick reportedly lived in Bashara's apartment building in St. Clair Shores and was asked to lie about Bashara's girlfriend, according to the story. 

Fick reportedly will be the first witness called Wednesday as the preliminary exam continues.
