" Roughly 14 months have passed since the body of Alabama attorney Major Bashinsky was found floating in a golf-course water hazard. The official finding of suicide sounded suspect to our ears when it was announced on March 24, 2010--and it seems even more suspect now that we've fully examined the autopsy report in the case.


The mainstream press has ignored signs that the Bashinsky death was not a suicide, but the public should not ignore them. And it should demand an independent investigation, especially because the issue of mysterious "suicides" in Alabama does not end with Major Bashinsky.


We have reported on the suicides of four prominent Alabamians, all of whom had possible connections to financial matters involving former Governor Bob Riley, the Alabama Republican Party, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce--and perhaps GOP strategist Karl Rove and confessed felon Jack Abramoff. We have reported that the Bashinsky autopsy report presents no forensic evidence to support a finding of suicide; the finding is based on the non-scientific investigation of police officers. We also have reported that a gun linked to the Bashinsky death is from a model that dates to World War II and now is considered a collector's item--seemingly an odd choice for a man planning to shoot himself, especially since we've seen no reports that Major Bashinsky was a gun collector.


After reviewing the full Bashinsky autopsy report, we are convinced that Alabama law enforcement cannot be trusted to examine these deaths objectively. Why is that? During Bob Riley's last year in office, the Alabama Supreme Court overturned years of judicial precedent and essentially declared that Riley was the chief law-enforcement officer in the state. That means any police agency in Alabama had a conflict of interest investigating deaths that might have ties to the Riley administration.

1. I had not heard about this. Thanks for posting. Interesting stuff! n/t

2. I guess if they didn't cooperate by getting into private planes, Plans B & C were needed...

6. In the run up to the Siegelman prosecution and even in the early stages

there were all kinds of weird "accidents", iirc. People being run off the road, mysterious fires, threatening phone calls.

11. Seigelman's USA, Leura Canary still in place.

It was thought Obama was saving her position for Artur Davis in case he lost the governorship but why no change?

3. this is weird

I know some of the people involved.

[barbtries]

14. what do you think?

considering what they got away with in the case of Siegelman, i believe they would not be above murder. rove i have no doubt would not hesitate to kill a person if it furthered his cause; the ends will always justify the means with that bastard. but none of this is evidence. you say you know these people. how well do you know them? what do you think?

i think it stinks to high heaven.

4. this is really important stuff...it must be investigated now...

5. kr.

"overturned years of judicial precedent and essentially declared that Riley was the chief law-enforcement officer in the state"


another dept of gov moved toward the jefe model. getting to be quite a trend.

7. Wow, you've really, really gotta want to kill yourself to do it w/ duct tape tied hands

A bag shoved in your mouth, and then throwing yourself into a lake (but I can't figure if that is before or after he shot "himself."

13. Houdini would have been impressed.

15. That's like the one here in TX many years back.

It was ruled a suicide. The body was found shot 3 times in the back of the head with a bolt-action rifle.

8. This certainly stinks

It wouldn't be the first time that the police were in collusion. This is the South after all, and living in their neighboring state of Mississippi, and having grown up in Louisiana, this is far from unheard of.

Potato Chip Heir Kills Self, Fakes Own Murder



By RUSSELL GOLDMAN (@GoldmanRussell)

The mysterious case of the missing heir to an Alabama potato chip fortune took another bizarre turn after investigators determined that the man found floating in a golf course pond, bound, gagged and shot in the head had committed suicide and tried to make it look like a murder.

The Jefferson County coroner determined that Major Bashinsky, a 63-year-old lawyer from Mountain Brook, Ala., had loosely bound his hands and taped his mouth shut, before wading into a pond at the Highland Park Golf Course in Brimingham and shooting himself in the head last month.

Inside Bashinsky's mouth the coroner found a label off a Golden Flake chip bag, and attached to his body was a bottle that contained a "disjointed and threatening note," said Jefferson County Chief Deputy Coroner Pat Curry.

Bashinsky's hands were loosely bound with rope and his mouth was covered with duct tape "to make it appear he had been murdered," said Curry.

16. Sounds like a job for Leura Canary.

Oh. It still IS the job of Leura Canary?

Thank you for a most important post, Segami. Seems like a lot of people who get in Rove's way end up suicided or in plane crashes.
