The weird thing about Robert Blake is that the reports now say that he is sobbing and incredibly depressed over the fact that he faces years (or maybe life) in prison. And yet the quote he is most famous for (as Baretta) is: "If you can't do the time, then don't do the crime."
Didn't Blake's own quote come to his mind when he was plotting his wife's murder (assuming that he is guilty)?
I can only think that those who resort to murder are either very stupid or very arrogant and think they will never get caught.
