    news stories currently in process of being posted around the web.

    she was a person who manipulated the stars to get money and what she wanted. unfortunately for her, she lost the game. but, so did he.

    I'm glad the Los Angeles news stations are showing restraint and only having three helicopters flying above Blake's house.

    Didn't she just disappear without a trace. I'm not watching the news, but if they have arrested him they must have some strong evidence because murder prosecutions without a body are very difficult.

    No, she was shot outside a restaraunt her and the actor ate dinner at. Robert had some reason to go back in the restaraunt(like he left his gun inside I believe) and she was shot while she waited in the car. Very suspicious. My first thought was he had somebody off her and it appears to be his bodyguard as he was arrested too.

    Jesus Christ Geraldo's a glory hound. They asked him one simple question, whether the arrest of Blake being on national television was kind of a trophy thing for the police. I've never seen a guy beat around the bush just to keep his ugly mug on television more then freaking Geraldo Rivera. Embarrassing. It sure took them a long time to prove, or allegedly prove, that Blake did it.

    My memory has dimmed since May 4 of last year...:eek:

    The consensus of a group of lawyers on Larry King is that Blake was a suspect all along but in light of the circus around the OJ case and that they didn't get a conviction, the police were taken this one real slowly.

    Lyrics to Baretta (Robert Blake starred in this 70's series)


    Baretta ("Keep Your Eye on the Sparrow" by Dave Grusin and M. Ames)

    Don't go to bed, with no price on your head
    No, no, don't do it.

    Don't do the crime, if you can't do the time,
    Yeah, don't do it.

    And keep your eye on the sparrow.
    When the going gets narrow.

    Don't do it, don't do it.

    Where can I go where the cold winds don't blow,
    Now.

    Well, well, well.

    Yeah....I guess if he left his gun inside the restaraunt on the table(uh how stupid is that)...then how could he have shot her without it. But, he actually went inside sweating and the co-owner of the restaraunt said he didn't retrieve anything but, rather, had two glasses of water while looking nervous and sweaty.

    It's amazing how he managed to remain free as long as he did. I guess they didn't want to blow the case like O.J. all over gain.

    On another note, I was once traveling on the east coast and some dude was in a Pizza Hut with a big bag of weed rolling joints up in a booth right there on the table....like it was normal. Maybe Blake should have used that excuse....I forgot my bag of weed on the table :rolleyes: :D .

    Allegedly they're saying he may have ordered his bodyguard to do the dirty work. Idiots, how about a divorce? I'd rather lose half my fortune then go to jail for murder. As for the guy rolling up weed at a Pizza Hut, I don't know about you, but that sound like a great excuse to me! ;)

    I heard Mr Blake just came in from a round of golf looking for the murderer when the police called. ;)
