Long before he was accused of killing second wife Bonny Lee Bakley, "Baretta" star Robert Blake set up a "contract" hit on his ex-wife and the actor she was dating, according to her shocking new testimony.
Sondra Kerr-Blake said friends later told her of Blake's foiled plan to have her and Steve Railsback, best known for his role as Charles Manson in the TV flick "Helter Skelter," whacked in the late '70s, according to her deposition obtained by the Daily News.
"I found out from several different people ... that he had put a 'contract' out on me and the other man I was seeing at that time," Kerr-Blake, an actress, testified at a recent fact-finding session in the Bakley family's wrongful-death suit against the 71-year-old actor.

The story says the plot was foiled when she and her squeeze didn't show up at the designated location.
Obviously, you weren't alone.
EXACTLY!
This whole store smells of the phrase; "... and the company you keep."
She probably did come forward but it was unadmissable.
Her story doesn't appear to be newly-concocted.
Statements of this kind constitute hearsay and no competent prosecutor would put a witness like this on the stand. The testimony would not be permitted, no matter how honorable and believable the witness.
