The Bob Bashara show returned on Tuesday to Wayne County Circuit Court where the former businessman -- convicted of killing his wife Jane -- was pushing for a new trial at a hearing.
Bashara claimed in a motion filed in court that his attorneys, Michael McCarthy and Lillian Diallo, were ineffective, in part because they didn't reveal to jurors that Bashara and his wife each had difficulty having sex, due to physical problems: Erectile dysfunction for Bob Bashara, and a vaginal cyst that made sex painful for his wife, George Hunter of The Detroit News writes.
Bashara's trial was chock full of details about his wild sex life that included a dungeon.
McCarthy took the witness stand Tuesday and defended his decision to withhold from trial information about Jane Bashara's physical problems, saying he didn't want to embarrass her family.
"We'd already had enough of this seedy, disgusting ... testimony," McCarthy said, according to The News' report.
McCarthy testified that he was able to get information into the trail about Bashara's relationship with his wife without embarrassing her family.
Bashara's appellate attorney, Ronald Ambrose, also said Bashara's former lawyers failed to call key witnesses. Six of those witnesses will testify in a hearing next month, The News reports.
