Robert Bashara gives handwriting sample to Michigan State Police

Taylor — Robert Bashara spent more than three hours at a Michigan State Police post Friday afternoon providing a court-ordered handwriting sample in the murder investigation of his wife, Jane.
The Grosse Pointe Park man arrived in an SUV at the Taylor post on Telegraph around 12:30 p.m. Friday with his own private investigator, retired FBI agent J.D. Gifford. Bashara exited the building about 4 p.m. after providing samples investigators will compare to writing on a greeting card, a letter and a check seized from his home during two searches in February.
Bashara declined to say who was in the room with him when he provided the handwriting sample, or if the proceeding was videotaped.
"(The police) were cordial," he told a group of reporters gathered outside the building. "I was open and honest with them."
Before he left the state police post, Bashara complained he was being treated unfairly by the press.
"I've been tried and convicted in the media," he said. "This is the land of America, where you're innocent until proven guilty."
He concluded his brief remarks by saying: "Have a great day. Go Tigers."...
