I'm glad he got off as well, irrespective of whether he did it or not, or was somehow involved or not. This Bakley woman reminds of the first question asked by old-time Texas sheriffs when they came upon a murder scene, "Did he need killing?"

It does seem odd that there is one minute unaccounted for and that was the minute that the "alleged" murder took place.

I haven't followed this case at all, and have, in fact, gone out of my way to avoid hearing about it. However, I'm a little curious as to the source of all the animosity towards the former Mrs Blake. What was so bad about her? I'm not defending her; I'm honestly asking.

I did not follow this case, but it is hard not to hear something about it is has covered so much.
Well I recall hearing something about Robert Blake finding out Bonnie forced her older daughter into porn and prostitution. It was a prosecution witness who told this story. I do not know details I do not keep track of this kind of thing. The news on the radio talk about this mess some.
Bonny Lee Bakley [url]http://crime.about.com/od/unsolved/p/bonnyleebakley.htm[/url]
[QUOTE]Prosecutors said Blake believed his wife trapped him into a loveless marriage by getting pregnant. They said Blake soon became smitten with the baby, Rosie, and desperately wanted to keep the child away from Bakley, whom he considered an unfit mother.
Bakley had been married several times, had a record for mail fraud and made a living scamming men out of money with nude pictures of herself and promises of sex.
"He was tricked by Bonny Lee and he hated her for it," prosecutor Shellie Samuels said in closing arguments. "He got taken by a small-time grifter."

Basicly the Prosecutors said Blake killed his wife to protect his daughter and the jury acquitted of him murder.
I am not unhappy about this outcome.

I haven't followed the case too closely, but I don't expect the "real killer" to ever be found.

February 1, 2005
Robert Blake's die-hard defenders say Bonny Lee Bakley was "playing with fire" for decades -- turning men on and then ripping them off in a pornographic moneymaking scam -- so it's impossible to say which one of her dozens of enemies finally burned her. They contend Bakley was a dead woman walking, and point to the shocking claim that she had 100 husbands.
Bonny Bakley did not originate the concept of taking money from horny old men and sending them dirty pictures.
It's been estimated that the porno -- er … "the adult entertainment industry," which is largely based in the San Fernando Valley, had a gross profit last year of over $10 billion. This year, Americans will spend $4 Billion on the rental and purchase of pornographic videos alone. Bonny Bakley's back-of-the-magazine, classified ad con seems almost quaint here in the golden age of world-wide porn and on-demand digital filth.
It's the height of absurdity to characterize the men who happily throw away their money on X-rated fantasies as the innocent victims of porn.
Lonely Heart Attack
No one knows exactly what scams Bonny Bakley was running, or why -- but she was certainly not a violent person. No witness will testify that Bonny ever assaulted or threatened the men she was in contact with, or desired to cause them any harm.
Whatever money she was able to swindle out of these losers, she got because they willingly mailed her a check. Most often the checks were very small -- $20 or $25 -- and in return the guy got a phony love letter and a copied photo of a nude woman who wasn't even Bonny.
Nothing about her low-level "Lonely Hearts" swindle would suggest she was a likely target for a payback homicide.
If you can't stand the heat...
Blake's spin controllers insist Bonny Bakely was "scum" who slept around with hundreds of men, and even married them, all in a sleazy scheme to part the fools from their money. In an effort to make the old buzzard seem innocent, Bonny has to be portrayed as diabolically evil and Blake's backers point to her shocking past.
Other than unsubstantiated rumors of sex parties and con games, not much proof of Bakley's evil has ever been produced. There is however, the sad, sad saga of old Uncle Demart.
Dawn Dupre, told reporters how Bonny Bakely met and married her aged uncle, DeMart Besly, then robbed him blind and destroyed his life -- all within one day. While the cheerless romantic tragedy might be based on actual events, the time for Ms. Dupre to be concerned was before her uncle rented a Vegas hotel room with a total stranger he'd met through a swinger magazine ad -- not after. "
"Robert Blake has fascinated America for decades with his dangerously funny postcards from the edge of disaster. Not unlike Leroy Wells, Blake's erratic performances strangely captivated his TV audience.
As a regular on the late, great, Johnny Carson's "Tonight Show," Blake revealed his own experiences with disorderly conduct, illegal drugs and firearms.
Blake once remarked, "I wore a pinstriped suit and carried a gun. I did time in jail. One night when we were robbing a liquor store, a cop almost blew me away."
Speaking of his parents, Blake said, "Being locked in the closets and beat up and burned and sexual stuff, and to come out from under it. I mean, it's lovely. Most people like me end up on death row, or in the graveyards, or prison."
He's somehow managed to avoid death row, but based on the shocking circumstantial evidence presented against him in the first month of trial, Blake was right to suspect he'd die in prison. "
People call her scum and she is not here to defend herself. But this scum gets away with murdering a white woman.
"Bakley's eldest daughter Holly Gawron, 24, told the jury Blake became furious and threatened Bakley when he discovered she was pregnant, yelling "You don't know who you're messing with, you bitch!"
Gawron and her brother found a tackle box packed with cocaine in the back seat of their mother's car which was apparently planted there by Blake or one of his gang members.
Former Bakley attorney, Cary Goldstein testified Bonny signed a temporary child custody pact and a prenuptial agreement which, among other things, stated that if she called off the wedding, she risked losing custody of her baby, Rose.
"It was an extraordinarily lopsided agreement . . . In my career I have never seen an agreement like this -- that is as abusive and controlling as this," said Goldstein. "I would never allow my client to sign off on this."
Retired stuntman, Roy Snuffy Harrison, told jurors Blake requested the phone numbers of two other men to discuss Blake's scheme to murder Bonny.
Blake told his personal assistant, Cody Blackwell to play a role in his kidnapping. She was to pretend to be a nurse.
"All of a sudden I went from Cody to Nurse Nancy . . . It was to make Bonny feel more comfortable to leave the baby with me."
After the cleverly staged ruse to steal Baby Rose -- whom he had once desperately tried to have aborted -- Blake told Blackwell he was no longer in need of her services.
"Why didn't I go to the police? I was scared," Blackwell offered. "I knew I had just been involved in a kidnapping. Then I thought, 'Oh my God, he's killed her."'
"Welch: "He said, 'I've been thinking about this. We're going to hire a doctor and abort her and if that doesn't work we're going to whack her.'"
DA Samuels: "What did you take that to mean?"
Welch: "Kill her."
DA Samuels: "And what did you say?"
Welch: "Robert, are you out of your ****ing mind?"
"They walked through Vitello's and viewed table #42 where Blake chowed down the special dish the restaurant had named for him, as well as the men's restroom where Blake threw it up. They walked the distance back to the dumpster and criss-crossed the streets, even going over to Sean Stanek's house.
And then they asked to do it all again.
Jurors seemed determined to understand something about the murder of Bonny Bakley and were doing their own investigation. Finally, after an hour, judge, jurors, lawyers and a rather dejected looking Robert Blake finished the tour and left the area.
Mr. Blake needn't be so glum. Many who followed O.J. Simpson's murder trial feel the jury view in that case started jurors down the road to a verdict of Not Guilty. "
Absence of Evidence . . .
Crime scene investigator, Rod Englert, who analyzed the blood-spray patterns inside Blake's Dodge Stealth, said Bonny Bakley was shot twice while sitting in the car -- once in her right cheek and once in her right shoulder. He testified blood patterns reveal that although Robert Blake did not have blood on his clothes the night of his wife's murder, the person who killed Bonny Lee Bakley would not have been sprayed by her blood.
"Whoever shot Bonny Lee Bakley would not have blood on their clothes?" prosecutor Shellie Samuels asked.
"Correct," Englert said.
. . . is not Evidence of Absence
Criminalist Steven Dowell of the L.A. County Department of Coroner testified that the presence of gunshot residue (GSR) indicates a person may have fired a gun, was in an environment where a gun was fired, or touched a surface already containing the particles.
Dowell said GSR was found on Robert Blake's black leather boots, black cotton T-shirt, Levi's jeans, belt buckle, black socks, and on his hands the night Bonny Bakley was shot, but said Blake could have picked up the GSR from a gun that was not the murder weapon -- including the revolver he admitted he brought to the crime scene."
big, awful, deep, vicious
"You swore to me. You promised me. You promised. You said, 'don't worry Robert, no matter what, I'll have an abortion.' That was all a lie. Not a little lie. That's a big lie. That's the kind of lie that God looks down on and says, 'Hey, wait a minute. Wait a minute.' That's a big, awful, deep, vicious lie. They don't get any worse than that." -- Blake's recorded phone conversation with Bakley
"It has something to do with some crazy shit that’s going on in your head that you want Robert Blake’s baby. And that’s all on you, baby, and you have to live with that. You schemed this whole thing!" -- Blake
Bakley, who had allegedly been wed to over 100 men through "Lonely Hearts" scams, married Robert Blake in a backyard ceremony on November 19, 2000, at Blake's Studio City home -- "the Mata Hari Ranch."
Bonny Bakley gave up all rights to Blake's money and property in a prenuptial agreement. "
**" Blake persuaded first wife, Sondra Kerr, “to see things his way,” a friend of Kerr's alleged.
“He simply terrorized her into giving him total custody of their two kids. Once, when she told me that she tried to see them, he forced a gun in her mouth and then to her head, and screamed, 'If you try to see them again, I'll blow your head off!'
She was absolutely terrified of him because he had threatened to kill her on more than one occasion. I think he got his way over custody and the divorce settlement by pure intimidation. He kept the kids and barred her from seeing them again and kept virtually all of their assets.”
On another occasion Blake purportedly held a loaded gun to Sondra's head and forced her to tell their children that she did not love them and that she wanted them to remain with their father. "**
"TV GUIDE, among several others magazines, reported the reasons for BARETTA'S failure, saying Blake "burned through numerous writers, producers and staff members, second-guessed nearly every aspect of the show, fought with the suits and rewrote scene after scene on the set.
Robert Blake himself said, "This show isn't like those other shows. Telly Savalas and Peter Falk and The Six Million Dollar Man all have studio and network brass watching out for them. Baretta was born in a garbage can at Fifth and Los Angeles -- it's an orphan. We just borrow a different pair of step-parents every once in a while, and if they don't do the job, we dump 'em."
A former producer said Robert Blake was "absolutely impossible to work for," adding the actor "turns everything into a war... him against the world."
Blake, who has made no attempt to hide his notorious history of abusive relationships, violent crimes and his addictions to booze and heroin, had this to say about reports of his abusive behavior on the set of BARETTA: "They say I'm difficult? Tough. People are like water; they find their own level. What are all those people who don't like me doing now?"
Bonny Bakley's friend Judy Howell told ABC News: "I have no doubt, no doubt at all with every fiber of my body that he killed her, killed my friend. He killed his child's mother."
Lidia Benavides -- who worked in Robert Blake'S house for over two years -- divulged that Blake treated Bakley like his personal sex slave and wouldn't even let the maid clean the guesthouse where he forced BONNY to live.
Bakley's half brother, Peter Carlyon said the woman had told her family that Blake threatened her and that he recently had started carrying a gun. "She did not want him carrying the gun because he had been making threats against her. She told the entire family that if anything happened to her, he was behind it."
IF NOT YOU -- WHO?
Blake claimed he was gone from his car less than a minute or two. He claimed he heard no gunfire -- saw no cars speeding down the alley -- saw nobody throwing a weapon into the dumpster and running away. How could that be? He was right there and heard and saw nothing?
How could that be?... because Andrew Percival and his wife saw something. They saw a man dressed in black running toward the dumpster.
It can be proven that Bonny Bakley was shot at close range. It can be proven that Robert Blake was with his wife right up until she was shot and immediately afterward.
That's all the proof you need for murder. It simply isn't reasonable to conclude that "some other dude did it." Not with those AT & T calling card records.
SPOUSAL ABUSE
Blake didn't raise his voice, he lowered it to the bottom two notes of his famously haunting voice, and dramatically proclaimed:
"People hurt each other all the time -- But when you hurt somebody deliberately, somebody you care about, rip their f***ing heart out, make them crawl and squirm, that’s tough stuff... "
And then his voice goes impossibly deeper, as he indicts, prosecutes and convicts the near stranger he had sex with...
"...the one thing in the world you knew I was terrified of was anybody getting pregnant, and you did it deliberately. Why? Not because you wanted to be with me. It has something to do with some crazy **** that’s going on in your head that you want Robert Blake’s baby. And that’s all on you, baby, and you have to live with that. You schemed this whole thing!"
Blake wanted ROSIE dead and he did all he could to have that baby aborted. It's all on tape and its all comin' in. Most of the tapes were uncovered by Blake's attorneys! Blake ranted and raved and railed to high hell trying to kill his unborn child.
That's abuse.
Robert Blake began desperately trying to kill Bonny Bakley. As sloppy and ridiculous as the attempts may have been, Blake was trying his level best to hire a hitman to murder his wife. Let's get real. Blake wasn't covertly calling men named "Snuffy" on an AT & T calling card to discuss a reunion of "Our Gang." He was conspiring and soliciting Bakley's murder.
That's abuse.
And if Bakley was such a low-life "scum of the earth" grifter -- why did Robert Blake then sign an extensive PRENUPTIAL agreement? That document alone constitutes abuse.
The once baby hating, father-to-be had legal paternal rights if he was suddenly so concerned for the child's welfare. A marriage was not required. So what was the plan? Why the big dramatic scenario? Why the maneuverings, the moving into Mata Hari, and the menacing machinations?
Bonny Lee Bakley told her family she was afraid of Blake. She thought he was secretly planning her murder. She told her friends that if something strange and horrible happened -- her husband was behind it. She was promptly shot in the head.
That's abuse.
Once a reasonable jury is exposed to the on-going pattern of abuse, the phone calls, the hitmen, the large bank withdraws, and the defendant's stunning alibi-deficient performance at Vitello's that night -- they will do what almost every jury does (O.J. SIMPLETON notwithstanding) -- they will convict Robert Blake of solicitation of murder, conspiracy to commit murder, and murder in the first degree. "

**"Blake says the couple had walked all the way to the car when he realized he'd lost his gun, and alone, he returned to the restaurant to look for it. Very shortly after, Bonny Bakley was shot twice with a vintage, World War II, Walther P-38 while sitting in Blake's car.
The 9-1-1 call was placed around 9:40 -- not by Robert Blake -- but by an acquaintance of his who lived across the street from the scene of the dramatic crime.
When police arrived, Blake told them, "I knew this was going to happen. I knew this was going to happen. She was so afraid. That's why I carry a piece. I went to the restaurant for just a minute."
Regardless of how many minutes it took him, not a single person at Vitello's witnessed Blake returning to the restaurant and going to his table to get a gun."**

"Unlike Blake, Detective BARETTA'S seemingly eternal struggle between getting justice and "getting even," ended in just a few short seasons. The show was cancelled due, in large measure, to Robert Blake's volatile personality and inability to adhere to studio rules.

"WITNESSES CLAIM BLAKE DIDN'T HELP DYING WIFE
Actor ROBERT BLAKE refused to help his dying wife, a Los Angeles court heard yesterday (21DEC04).
Witness SEAN STANEK, who testified at the BARETTA star's murder trial, claimed Blake did not approach the car in which his wife BONNY LEE BAKLEY was shot.
Stanek - a nearby resident in the Studio City area of Los Angeles where Bakley was killed - added Blake hammered on his door on the night of the killing, screaming the words, "You got to help me. My wife is bleeding... call 911."
However, Stanek said when he approached the car to offer help to Bakley, Blake failed to join him.
The witness told the court, "The whole thing was unusual. What was unusual was that he wasn't helping."
Stanek also testified that Blake told police, "I knew this was going to happen. She was so afraid. That's why I carried a piece on me."
A second prosecution witness, school nurse TERI LORENZO-CASTANEDA, claimed she saw Blake weeping at the scene but was baffled when he walked back to the car rather than ran.
CAROLE CAPUTO, who was dining with Lorenzo-Castaneda, said Blake appeared to switch his emotions on and off according to who was present.
Blake's defence attorney countered in his opening statement that police were negligent and the actor's arrest was "driven by the desire for fame".

Yea verily, when Blake was acquitted there was much rejoicing in this house. That jizzy hosebag tried to get her hooks into Jerry Lee (a.ka. The Killer), so it was a miracle the thing managed to cadge oxygen long enough to ooze over to the other hair-trigger loon. There are some men you just don't screw with, and those are two of 'em.
Not that I'm a big fan of Blake. I remember watching him on Carson when he was big in Baretta: always complaining about being a rich teevee star; yammering about his psychiatrist with that outdated Sinatra-style tough guy patois.
King of the shithouse rats. :dung: :drool:

Nice going, Gabby. "He is a jew", followed by an Everest of WEEKLY WORLD NEWS cut and pastes. But no [I]yarmulke[/I].
Try again.
The only good Bonnie Lee Bakley is a dead Bonnie Lee Bakley.

Yes, another white person dead, and stupid goy rejoices. Once again the kosher controlled media distracted you from the facts of the case and the reason for the trial. Baa!
Bonnie was a bad woman, but what the hell is that filthy little jew Blake?
This case was supposed to be about murder – not whether the white woman was immoral. You think yourself so clever, and in reality you are a dumb sheep. Baa!

Or bribery perhaps. I heard some statements by William Shatner and they sounded as contrived as his actual acting. I really don't have much sympathy for such women though.

William Shatner is another jew who got away with murdering a white woman.
Sympathy has nothing to with justice… the truth is what matters here.
We must put our prejudices aside and stick with the cold hard facts.
"The story I've managed to glean from the papers is that Shatner arrived at their Studio City home around 10:15 p.m. on Monday August 9th, 1999. He and his wife lived on Berry Drive, at number 3674. He found Nerine naked and motionless at the bottom of their swimming pool. He freaks and calls 911. Here's the transcript:
"Oh my God!" Shatner yells to the dispatcher.
"What's your problem there, sir?" the dispatcher replies.
Shatner: "My wife's at the bottom of the pool!"
Dispatcher: "OK, did you get her out of the pool yet, sir?"
Shatner: "No, not yet."
Dispatcher: "I want you to take her out of the pool right now."
Shatner: She's at the very deep end! --(He mumbles something unintelligible.)" (My wig?)
Dispatcher: "Ok sir. If you can, grab something and get her out of the pool. Sir. Sir. Right away, get your wife out of the pool."
Shatner: "Ok."
Dispatcher: "Don't hang up the phone. (Shatner hangs up.) Hello?"
Shatner later reported to the police that he jumped into the sky blue mosaic tiled pool, and pulled his wife up on the deck, but was unable to revive her. He was criticized later for not immediately getting her out of the pool, but calling 911 instead. Since he hosted the popular television show Rescue 911 for many years, people expected more from him. My guess is that he was paid to read a script in front of a camera - he didn't need to pay attention to what the show was about. That's my guess.
At 10:30pm, paramedics arrived at the house. They found Mrs. Shatner on the side of the pool. They attempted to resuscitate her, but were unsuccessful. She was 40 years old.
Friends and relatives were shocked, especially because Nerine was a strong swimmer."

Shatner did it the smart way. Create an accident to kill someone. Drowning is of the best ways. Blake's strategy was too complicated and would invariably make him a murder suspect. OJ did it the dumbest way, creating strong proof of his guilt, but the jury didn't mind.
Why call 9-11 before pulling the woman out of the pool? That was probably a smart move on Shatner's part. Psychologically, it probably helped to establish the woman was in the pool so people wouldn't have thoughts of him holding her head under water at the edge of the pool.

Gabby, you keep referring to Robert Blake as a "Jew". Then again, you keep referring to everyone as a Jew.
For a mindless GOP zombie like yourself, that's awfully disloyal. You might want to doublecheck the promouncements of King George, Queen Laura or such official members of their Royal Court as Sir Rush and Baron von Wolfowitz: [B]any [/B] utterance of antagonism towards Jews is an extreme no-no.

The problem is that Gabrielle worse enemy is Gabrielle, oh well at least she has only one enemy.

She keeps hanging in there, though. Gotta give her points for that, if nothing else.
But she'd still be a lot happier at FR, among like minds.
