Altercation by the poolside



 

Gerald Gardner was observed arriving at the Frasch home on the day of her murder by a neighbour, Farrell Bass, who was out working in his backyard.

In the trial, Bass was asked if he had heard any altercation, any arguing or any splashing after Gardner arrived that day. He said no, which reinforced the prosecution's case that Samira’s husband had killed her earlier.


But this was misleading because the altercation would have taken place in the pool enclosure. By that logic, Bass should have also been asked if he had ever heard the Frasches splashing around in their fully-enclosed pool. But the jury was left with a hazy impression of the layout of the Frasch property and from the way it was presented in court, would have imagined the whole thing taking place by an open-air pool - in which case, the lack of noise would have been more significant.

A horrific drama continues to unfold in Tallahassee. Tallahassee lawyer, James P. Waczewski, has filed a civil lawsuit against Dr. Frasch on behalf of his client, Samira Frasch’s mother in Madagascar.  Samira Frasch’s mother wants not only the children but also Samira's $1 million dollar insurance settlement that would have gone directly to secondary-beneficiary Hyrah under the Slayer Statute that says a person can't benefit financially from their crime ... if the primary beneficiary, Dr. Adam Frasch, was indeed guilty of murdering Samira. But it was paid out to Dr. Adam Frasch before his trial. The insurance company did their own investigation and discovered that among many exonerating facts, one of Samira’s phones had pinged off of a tower in Marianna, FL at the time that Dr. Frasch was passing through on his way to Panama City Beach. Since his own phone showed him steadily heading south, they knew he was nowhere near his home in Tallahassee at the time of his wife’s death. A

She stayed because of love.

Samira was smart and talented and independently wealthy from her days of modelling. But it fit the prosecutor’s case to treat her as if she was financially and emotionally dependent on her husband.  But when Samira had met him, she had a passport with stamps on every page. She didn’t stay with her husband because she was a frightened immigrant who had no understanding of the American legal system. She was a world traveller fluent in five languages.  She stayed because of love.
