Robert Blake plans return

A year after Robert Blake was acquitted in criminal court of killing his wife, the former tough guy actor spends his days exercising horses at a friend's ranch and planning a comeback. He acknowledges the past year has often been a time of despair, particularly the civil trial last fall in which a jury ordered him to pay his wife's family $30 million. But the 72-year-old Blake, who was a child actor in the "Our Gang" movie series and a hard-boiled cop in the 1970s TV show "Baretta," says he's finally begun to emerge from that dark period. "I want to live," he says.

I never could completely sort out my feelings on this case. Did he do it or not? Anybody who followed things at all knows that his wife had a shady history and a background in con games involving older men. Does that justify her death? Was Blake in on it? I'd love to hear your perspective on this.

Personally,I guess I'm glad he was acquitted, but I'll always ponder the true events of that night.

I think he didn't actually commit the murder, but I believe he had someone do it for him.

Anonymous was right! It was Fred the Cockatoo that offed Bonnie Lee. Then the damned bird flew away with all the evidence that would have cleared Bobby Blake. Come on, look at that face, those eyes - do you see a guilty man? We need to start a campaign to get that bird put away! FRY FRED! FRY FRED! FRY FRED!

I get one of the breasts!
