Actor's wife killed...did he do it?
 

Robert Blake, actor from the 70's TV show (Beretta (sp?)), wife, was shot in the head in their car. While the actor, goes back to in the restaurant where the 2 were having dinner to retrieve a gun, he supposedly left. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/eek.gif At this time, the wife ends up dead.

It has been reported that he supposedly married her b/c she was pregnant, they signed a pre-nup, she had a criminal past. The actor is supposedly painting a "bad" picture of his "wife".

The actor is not a suspect as of late, but is a "witness". hmmmmmmmm let's see how this is handled.

It's LA county! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/wink.gif

In the news reports, I saw familiar faces from that O.J. "investigation."

hmmmmmmmmmmmm.....Speakin of OJ....Robert Blake can't even say that he was on his way to the airport . http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/rolleyes.gif


Now I ain't sayin' if I think the "Juice" did it BUT Ain't it funny how the "system" works out for "different" people. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/confused.gif

Yup he did it. OJ was the prime suspect and he was nowhere near the crime. Why is this (gun toting) Blake guy any different? Being a resident of L.A. County this really upsets me and I know I am not the only one who is noticing this. It's really sad. Blake has so many motives (way more than OJ).

But I agree with AKA2D '91. L.A.P.D. is as crooked as they come.(though there are some good ones in there)

I don't know if he did it but I am sure he had something to do with it ...way to fishy for me.
I have heard the reports but don't know of the man ...I am guessing he is white from a previous statement made, is his deceased wife white or black?

I heard this morning that his attorney has finally acknowledged that Blake is a suspect.

**In AKAtude's best Keith Sweat voice: something, something just ain't right!**

Yeah, the guy is "white" and the wife was "white".

He's an old TV star. You know the one's you'd see on The Love Boat. He had a detective show back in the 70's. The one that had the white cockatoo bird or parrot or something.

I just want to see how THIS case is played out.

How in the heck you gonna forget a gun at a restaurant? Why did you have the gun on you in the first place?

Good-azzed Point!!!

Aint it also funny that OJ was THE ONLY SUSPECT, while Robert Blake is not a suspect? I guess that's what you mean by the system.

Hold up--wait a minute!

This is all so unecessary, all they have to do is hire a detective. Let's call Beretta! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif: --Couldn't resist!

No, you didn't! I am ROTFLMAO! Oh man, that was too funny!

From the moment I heard the story about Robert Blake I thought it was fishy. He went back to the restaurant because he forgot his gun? http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/eek.gif Do you have to check your weapons? Seriously. How do you "forget" your gun? Especially if he was carrying it to protect his wife from a stalker like he and his lawyer have said. It just doesn't make any sense.

I remember that OJ wasn't a suspect for the first week or so, then he became the ONLY suspect. This Robert Blake thing seems kinda shady to me...why did he marry her if she was such a sleaze? Couldn't he have just tried to get custody of the kid, or was he afraid of the lawsuit?

Think there's going to be another "low-speed" chase?

I was watching "Rivera Live" last night. It looks like the media is turning it into "O.J. Simpson: Part II".

Soror, the media is turning the Blake case into O.J., Part Deux. In fact, the Jim Rome sports radio program refers to Blake as "Barettenthal."

AKA2D, Robert Blake was also one of the Little Rascals/Our Gang troupe, under his birth name, Mickey Gubitosi, and was in the last Our Gang short in 1944, after Spanky, Alfalfa, Darla, etc. left (Froggy and Buckwheat was still part of the gang).

NE Ways....

After Ohhhjjjj :rolleyes:, the LAPD decided to take its sweet time with this one:

It looks like Police Believe Blake Killed Wife
Fri Apr 19, 8:43 AM ET
By LINDA DEUTSCH, AP Special Correspondent

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Police have arrested actor Robert Blake, the tough-talking cop in the old "Baretta" TV series, alleging he shot his wife to death nearly a year ago because he felt "trapped" in his marriage.

Blake was arrested Thursday night at a home in Hidden Hills, a gated suburban community he had moved to shortly after the death of his wife, Bonny Lee Bakley.

Police said they would seek charges of murder and solicitation of murder, and noted that Blake, 68, could face the death penalty if convicted.

Bakley, 44, was killed a block from a Studio City restaurant where she and Blake had just dined. They were married about five months before the May 4 slaying, after DNA tests proved he fathered her baby daughter, Rosie.

Police also arrested Blake's bodyguard and chauffeur, Earle Caldwell, on Thursday. They said they would seek to have him charged with conspiracy to commit murder.

At a news conference hours after the arrests, police said they believe Blake shot Bakley in the head minutes after the couple left the restaurant.

"We believe the motive is Robert Blake had contempt for Bonny Bakley," said police Capt. Jim Tatreau. "He felt he was trapped in a marriage that he wanted no part of and, quite frankly, the situation was not to his liking at all."

Tatreau confirmed earlier reports that police recovered the murder weapon, a World War II-era German-made handgun, from a trash bin about a day after the killing.

Police Chief Bernard Parks said the investigation was one of the most intensive in the department's history, adding that officers traveled to more than 20 states, interviewed more than 150 witnesses, checked out more than 150 tips and sifted through more than 900 pieces of evidence.

"All other suspects have been eliminated," he said. "The LAPD (news - web sites) case has developed both physical and substantial circumstantial evidence that Robert Blake killed Bonny Lee Bakley."

Blake's attorney, Harland Braun, said many people had a reason to kill Bakley. Stacks of letters, pornographic pictures and meticulously detailed records showed that Bakley, using many aliases, ran a business soliciting money from lonely men who answered her ads in magazines and newspapers.

"Everyone who ever came in contact with her had a motive," he told reporters after the Police Department news conference.

Minutes earlier, Tatreau had dismissed that contention.

"No way did every person that dealt with Bonny Bakley want to kill her," he said.

Blake has said Bakley was shot in the head when he left her alone in his car to return to the restaurant to retrieve a gun he'd accidentally left behind. He was carrying the .38-caliber pistol, he said, to protect her from threats she received.

Blake reacted calmly to his arrest, Braun said.

"His main concern right now is his children," the lawyer said.

Tatreau said Blake told his adult daughter to take care of his baby girl, Rosie, before leaving with officers.

"He was very passive and friendly," Tatreau said, adding that Blake, who has been a suspect in the case almost since the beginning, already knew many of the detectives involved.

District Attorney spokeswoman Sandi Gibbons said prosecutors will announce Monday whether they intend to file charges. Arraignment would be that day in Van Nuys Superior Court, she said.

Bakley family attorney Cary W. Goldstein said the woman's family was pleased to learn of Blake's arrest.

"I think people are going to find out who Bonny was and maybe they'll find out a little more about her family, but as I've said from the very beginning, there's nothing that Bonny ever did in her lifetime that justifies her having been murdered," Goldstein said. "Her wrongdoings were picayune, at best."

Bakley became pregnant sometime after she and Blake began dating. She said she was unsure if the child was fathered by Blake or Christian Brando, the son of actor Marlon Brando. DNA tests proved it was Blake's, and the actor said he felt obligated to marry her.

The case thrust Blake back into the limelight after years of semiretirement. The former child star had his greatest success in the 1970s TV series, "Baretta," for which he won an Emmy.

He also received accolades for his performance in 1967's "In Cold Blood" in which he portrayed real-life killer Perry Smith, who was executed for the killings of a Kansas family.

that's sad
 

This story is really sad, and I know I'm going to hell for this one, but ALL I can think about is Chris Rock and his first special on HBO when he was talking about marriage:


"Now when you making 30 million and have to give you wife half, you fine, you ain't starving! But when you make 30,000....and she want 15,000....you just might have to KILL HER!"


I am a HOT MESS!

On the real, it seems like he didn't want to be married and instead of losing his money, he shot her, I swear what are people thinking?:confused:



QTE ;)
