Bob Bashara trial continues Monday

DETROIT – The murder trial against Bob Bashara continues in a downtown Detroit courtroom Monday morning. The trial is just a few days in and we've already heard about the intense relationship Bashara had with one of his mistresses.

We expect to hear more about the murder itself and forensic evidence collected at the crime scene after the explosive testimony that was given last week from one of Bashara's mistresses.

Rachel Gillett said she didn't know Bashara was married until she saw a TV interview after his wife's murder.

On Thursday, Gillet talked about her plans to start a new life with Bashara and another woman. She explained in graphic detail the nature of her sexual relationship with the man she called master Bob.

Prosecutors allege Bashara lied and manipulated Gillet throughout their relationship.

During testimony, Gilette revealed that the whole situation has turned into a nightmare.

Following her testimony, prosecutors are expected to call forensic scientist, detectives and even Bashara's daughter, Jessica, to the stand.

Special Section: Jane Bashara murder investigation

Earlier this month, the handyman who admitted to killing Bashara's wife backed out of his plea agreement to testify against Bashara.

The prosecution alleges Bashara paid handyman Joseph Gentz to murder his wife.

Bashara is currently behind bars after being convicted for hiring a hit man to kill Gentz.

The murder trial continues Monday.
