Robert Blake not only needs a shrink, now he needs an attorney.
Fleeing the scene

Robert Blake needs a lawyer. Harland Braun, who had defended the actor since Blake's wife Bonny Lee Bakley was murdered last year, resigned yesterday, saying that he objected to the actor's decision to go on television and discuss his case.
"He insists on doing an interview on-camera with Diane Sawyer," Braun said. "No lawyer in the country would allow a defendant to do this."
BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. - Actress Winona Ryder went to a posh Beverly Hills department store armed with a stealing kit - and then gave herself a sticky-fingered five-for-one discount, prosecutors said yesterday. Los Angeles Deputy District Attorney Ann Rundle said she'll present evidence that the Oscar-nominated actress went shopping with a pair of scissors to cut sensor tags, a long garment bag to conceal stolen items and tissue paper to wrap articles of clothing.
Police and prosecutors concede that Ryder did buy four items that day at Beverly Hills Saks Fifth Avenue - but took 20 more without paying. The allegedly pilfered items added up to $5,560.40.
"For every item Ms. Ryder purchased, she helped herself to a couple little extras. Actually it was five extras," Rundle said.
Rundle told the jury of six women and six men - who've been barred from shopping at Saks for the duration of the case - that the evidence against Ryder will be overwhelming and lead them to convicting her on grand theft and burglary charges.
