Right until the end, Bob Bashara, who became a household name in Metro Detroit, denied guilt in the murder of his wife Jane.
“I had absolutely nothing to do with my wife’s death…I loved my Jane dearly,” Bashara said at his sentencing in Wayne County Circuit Court on Thursday, according to WWJ. “I will appeal this until I can appeal no more.”
Nonetheless, Bashara, who was convicted in the killing of his wife, was sentenced to mandatory life in prison without parole.
His mother-in-law, Lorraine Englebrecht, according to WWJ, spoke directly to him at his sentencing, said:
“You took Jane’s life, but I want you to live awhile,” Englebrecht said, “because I’m not gonna be here that long, but every day I live I wanna think about you rotting in jail, and someday burning in hell.”
“Why didn’t he just go and live his scummy dungeon life, and leave my daughter and my grandchildren alone? Why did it have to come to that?”
