Hollywood Actor Found Not Guilty of Murder

Thursday, March 17, 2005 at 11:27 AM
Written by Anthony L. Hall


Phew! They really had me sweating man…

Yesterday, after eight days of deliberations, a California Jury found actor Robert Blake not guilty of murdering his wife.

I must confess that I do not know enough about the facts of this case to share any informed observations about the trial or this verdict. I wish only to express my sincere hope that Blake makes the most of his remaining years.

As a child, I was fascinated by his portrayal of a tough cop on Baretta. And, that alone forms the basis for my sympathy towards him.

Who says you gotta do the time if you do the crime...
