Robert Blake Not Guilty

I am really surprised - the jury found him not guilty on 2 counts and deadlocked on another

He was known as Tony Baretta in the show Baretta about 20 yrs ago. He was at dinner one night with his wife and walked her to their car. he forgot his gun in the restaurant - went back to get it. When he got to the car, she was found shot.

Yeah this happened almost 4 yrs ago.

Baretta is usually before people's time. I've pointed out to younger guys that Robert Blake played the Man In Black/Mystery Man in David Lynch's 1997 Lost Highway.

Lost Highway is not one of those movies you want to take someone with on a first date, btw :goof:

but all evidence was circumstantial - plus the testimony of two people who kept changing their testimony. legally you cannot find someone guilty of murder unless you are sure beyond ALL reasonable doubt.

I bet Michael Jackson is gonna get off too.

Robert Blake also was one of the original Little Rascals.

Now does this man look like he could have killed his wife?

He also played a man who killed his whole family in a Lifetime Original Movie. Ironic, no?

I think he is going to get off to, the kids brother said he lied, and the kid himself told everyone that nothing happened. it also turns out that there mother loves to sue everyone. funny when the money stopped, the law suit started, plus the DA has a hard on for jackson

He won acclaim for his role as a killer in Truman Capote's "In Cold Blood". Is that what you are thinking of? It's a very old movie, though.

Here's an interesting thought ... are you finding that most people seem to assume that anyone who's well known like Martha Stewart, Michael Jackson, OJ Simpson, Robert Blake, etc ... are guilty of whatever crime they are accused of from the get go? Is it only because of savy lawyers and a large bank account that things get to where "reasonable doubt" can't be settled on?

Nah, this was about two years ago, I think. It was really freaky.

bec, close to every person i know believes - in fact, they usually say they KNOW - that these people are guilty. funny thing, 'cause when i look at the actual hard evidence, i can't see how they "know" that unless they were there.

i have reasonable doubt on michael, oj and robert - i can't see how any jury wouldn't.
