Thanks, Tris. She was quite the skank. I do believe Blake (check out his brilliant performance in “In Cold Blood,” people!) was as guilty as hell but he had the grace, at least,to get nauseous over the crime 30 minutes afterwards. I wonder where he is now? We need a Kenneth Anger for an update.
When the “victim” is a predator, people tend to be less likely to convict, no doubt about it.
Retirement and 2010 tax lien[edit]
Blake has maintained a low profile since his acquittal and his filing for bankruptcy with debts of US$3,000,000 for unpaid legal fees and state and federal taxes after the criminal and civil trials.[32] Having retired from acting years before the murder of Bonnie Lee Bakley, and due to his legal issues, Blake has said that he might return to acting someday to help himself financially.[33] On April 9, 2010, the state of California filed a tax lien against Blake for US$1,110,878 with the Los Angeles County Recorder of Deeds for unpaid back taxes.[34]
In December 2011, Blake appeared on Tavis Smiley.[35] On July 16, 2012, Blake was interviewed on Piers Morgan Tonight. During the interview, Blake was asked by Morgan about the night of the murder of Blake’s wife, Bonnie. The line of questioning quickly led to Blake becoming defensive and angry. Blake said he resented Morgan’s questioning and felt he was being interrogated. Morgan disagreed with Blake’s assessment of the questioning saying he was only asking questions he felt people were eager to have answered.[36] Blake told interviewers and wrote in his autobiography that he hoped he would be offered one more great acting role before he died. Lost Highway (1997), remains Blake’s last acting role to date.
