LOS ANGELES (AP) -- A jury acquitted tough-guy actor Robert Blake
of murder Wednesday in the shooting death of his wife four years
ago, a stunning verdict in a case that played out like pulp
fiction.

If you got money, you don't go to jail. That's how it works, right?
Tell that to Bernie Ebbers.Quote:

I'm sure blake will make it his life's work to find "the real killers."
they're both prolly guilty, but I agree with what you are saying. Seemed like more evidence against Blake.Quote:

At least OJ will have a new golfing buddy. ;)
Lacy Peterson was a young, photogenic, pregnant woman whose husband was cheating on her. Blake's wife was a somewhat skanky looking woman in her 40's or 50's. Beretta was so cool! Who would take care of the cockateel? I'm not implying that we live in any type of f'ed up shallow society or anything.Quote:

Maybe if the judge's roids are acting up the day of sentencing he'll have to pay restitution totalling 5-10% of what he profited from the stock options he cashed in on. Not a bad commission for that kind of jack.
Killer, this was obviously the work of Some Puerto Rican Guy.Quote:
