"I'm not sure that it gives us cause for concern one way or another," Griem remarked.
He was responding to rumors that Gentz passed his competency exam. His hearing is not for another month, and neither the prosecutor's office nor the attorney for Gentz would comment.
FOX 2 legal analyst Charlie Langton said if Gentz passes, that could be a big blow to Bashara.
"If Gentz is found to be credible, what Gentz then said to the cops way back when is heightened and it is more believable," he explained. "If I'm Bashara, I'd be worried."...

..."I think the number would be doubled if this case didn't have the media attention that it does," he said.
"Bashara will not get any kind of bond. I don't care how many character witnesses come forward," Langton remarked.
Langton said that is if Bashara is charged with murder. He also noted it is likely nothing will happen until after the next court date for Gentz, who is charged with murder and conspiracy in the death of Jane Bashara....
