Some people on here just want everyone to be guilty, and to get the Death Penalty.
So they found the weapon, from this article, I was wrong about the serial number matching a gun Blake had. Where the hell did I hear that...
The Murder Weapon
Within days after Bonny Lee Bakley's mysterious death, considerable attention began to focus around the discovery of a Walther PPK in a garbage bin on Woodbridge Avenue on May 7 by LAPD detectives Juan Parga, Dan Jenks and Michelle Harvey. The Walther PPK, considered a medium caliber firearm, is a small, traditional double-action gun capable of firing both .380-caliber bullets and .32-caliber bullets. With an overall length of six and one-quarter inches, a height of four inches, and a little more than an inch wide and weighing only twenty-one ounces, the Walther PPK is a relatively easy weapon to conceal. It was found in the vicinity where Blake had parked his black Stealth on the night of May 4, 2001.
According to reports that appeared on ABC's Good Morning, America when the story finally broke about the important discovery, the gun had three bullets in it, two of which, the police determined, that had been fired. One bullet was still in the chamber. It was also reported that the police had seized a box of ammunition, Remington Peters, a very common brand and which was the same brand found in the gun, during their initial search of Blake's home. Three bullets were missing from the box of ammunition taken from Blake's home. There was only one problem, and it was a big one—the casings on the bullets seized from Blake's home did not match the casing of the bullet found inside the Walther PPK. However, in the interim between when the gun was discovered and the time that this was finally reported a week later, the police had been able to determine that the bullet that killed Bonny had been fired from the Walther PPK.
The Walther's serial number had been filed off, and the detectives knew that professional hit men often file off the serial numbers of the guns they use to make the weapon untraceable. Since rumors and speculation hinted that a hit man hired by someone out of her past might have killed Bonny, this was one avenue that was being explored. But in this case the number had been poorly filed, and when examined by the FBI, they were able to make it out. That, in the minds of the investigators, poured considerable cold water on the hit man theory. It just didn't seem like a professional hit.
I hoped he'd get off too. As did my husband and a lot of people who reviewed the evidence.
How is that worthy of so much ridicule?
Leave the gun, take the canollis...
The weapon was found, a Walther PPK, but no link to Blake was ever found, and you can bet they left no stone unturned trying to find one.

They did find the weapon, I was wrong about the serial number matching a gun Blake had owned.

I think you're right. I think they have way too much faith in DA's and figure if you go to trial, you must be guilty.
I think he's 71?
If you are a celebrity you have a liscence to steal and a liscence to kill.
" The brow aint flattened ...... "
And I'm not a pug. And by flattened brow, I was alluding to microcephalia. Look it up.
Once again, a celebrity is held to a different standard (a much lower one) of accountability than us mere working class paeons.
I'm not saying Bakely was an icon of virtue, but NO ONE deserves to be murdered. And she was murdered. If those who are ordained to sit in judgment are unable to apply justice, then there is One who will.
Oh, boo fricken hoo, you set someone up like she did bang bang. In fact I thought they had linked the weapon to Blake and they hadn't, he might even be innocent. You do know her history right???? There are other people besides Blake that had motive.
In my little world as you so whiningly put it, I would go to the police.
And as soon as Jacko's case is over, there will be the BTK, then the Atlanta Courthouse Killer, then the fellow from Wisconson, et al.
Oh I sometimes long for the time when life was much simpler, without TV, without technology and when we didn't have to see all these things over, and over, and over.
Does that matter? Are people now expecting too much from the prosecution after watching CSI too many times?
