I recall a few years after Blake was accused of this murder, another famous name became tied up in the murder of an ex spouse: Phil (Wall of Sound) Spector, was accused of murdering his girlfriend Lana Clarkson in Feb. of 2003.
Phil had long been known for his bizarre behavior, incidents often involving guns.
Slightly Off Topic:
One night, for a prank, Phil Spector fired a pistol in the studio control room, inches away from John Lennon’s ear. An enraged Lennon said “Phil, if you’re going to kill me, kill me, But don’t f**k with my ears, I need them.
Another time,, Spector pulled his gun and chased Lennon through the studio hallways, screaming threats.
Although John was married and Spector was dating her producer, Phil Spector (her future husband), the pair flirted at that party in London. However, Spector put a stop to it before it went too far.

It’s a shame because he was a brilliant talent
