NOT GUILTY Verdict reached in ROBERT BLAKE CASE- will be live in courtroom 2:30 PST

[Trinity_Tx]

If you look at the Court TV forums... people who followed these cases religiously...

They think OJ was guilty without doubt

Same for Scott Peterson mostly, though they aren't united about the death penalty since the evidence was weaker.

For Robert Blake - So far, I have seen nothing but joy over this verdict. I'm sure some are unhappy, but I haven't seen one yet.

I agree with them. No way was the evidence beyond a reasonable doubt to me.

The murder weapon was a gun that belonged to Blake. The serial number had been filed off. Too bad he didn't know they can recover the serial number.

HUGE LIE!! THE MURDER WEAPON WAS NEVER FOUND!!!

Thats why it is not always wise to give a lot of credence to some of the talking head rumor mongers and their sources on the tabloid cable 24 hour news stations.

[John Valentine]

I beleive that the murder weapon was found in a dumpster near the car. According to Court TV. There was NO evidence whatsoever linking the weapon to Blake. None, and you can be sure they tried as hard as possible to find one.

[Hildy]

And that means the system worked in this case.

Different. OJ had DNA that proved he was at least there at the murder scene.

You mean the blood DNA the cops would riding around with for days or the DNA the lab technician took home and put in his fridge?

That case was weak as hell too.

Weak case + Good attornies = acquittal.

[processing please hold]

One of the poster on here said it was his gun that did the killing....maybe it just accidently discharged while her head was next to it.

lookin' for robert blake.....

[PISANO]

And that's the name of that tune!!!!

No time to see if anyone else posted his moniker from Baretta.

[Mad Mammoth]

So now Baretta can go back to "That quiet place" where he can be haunted by the ghost of his murdered wife...

I doubt it. Bonnie Lee, whereEVER she is, is probably busy sending out dirty pictures of herself to other ghostly entities.

[TheBattman]

That's a relatively short deliberation these days - especially in a high-profile case.

[snarkytart]

>I am shocked he did not get a conviction for solicitation of murder with several people testifying he asked them to kill his wife.

11-1 not guilty on that charge which was deadlocked.<

Not me it is LA and he has money and is a celebrity..yes I know he is a has been, but still.

[Trinity_Tx]

OJ had DNA that proved he was at least there at the murder scene. OJ's "luck" was that his jury was going to acquit him even if they had a video in slo-mo of OJ killing them both.

Blake had a circumstantial case, with no piece of evidence pointing for sure either way.

Exactly. There is just no comparison.

[skaterboy]

No eyewitnesses, blood or DNA evidence linked Blake to the crime. The murder weapon, found in a trash bin, could not be traced to Blake, and witnesses said the minuscule amounts of gunshot residue found on Blake's hands could have come from a different gun he said he carried for protection.

It was found I guess but cant be tied to him..Half right/Half wrong...story of my life..LOL

[blackie]

I didn't stutter.

You do understand English don't you?

Get over yourself ~ he's not guilty.

[TexKat]

Are you 100% sure? I had read somewhere from a place that escapes me that they had found the weapon, they had recovered the filed off serial number and that it belonged to Blake and was reported stolen. Now for it to be a lie, I would have to have deliberately planted wrong information and if I'm wrong I'll admit it. LEt me see if I can find the source. That's why I though he would be found guilty.

I also heard that from one of the 24 hour cable news outlets so time ago. But only recently heard that the gun was never found.

Wasn't Scott Peterson found guilty with circumstantial evidence?

[BurbankKarl]

How would he know from that angle?

[didi]

Looks like a medieval warrior.

Will you bring me my chapstick?

[tuffydoodle]

You're right, Bonnie was living a sordid life and someone bumping her off is not surprising.
