For the next few weeks "Murder Weekly" will be playing select episodes from our sister show "Celebrity Trials". These shows however will feature only the cases involvoing murder! If you enjoy these shows, please check out "Celebrity Trials".
Reid Carter examines the 2005 acquittal that proved celebrity murder is legal in Los Angeles. Robert Blake, star of Baretta and In Cold Blood, shot his wife Bonny Lee Bakley outside Vitello's restaurant, left her to bleed out while he had dinner, then convinced twelve Angelenos he was innocent. From his eighteen different story versions to hiring hitmen who testified against him, this is how Hollywood royalty gets away with murder. Twenty years later, Blake's acquittal remains the blueprint for celebrity justice: delay the trial, confuse the jury, cry on cue, and walk free while your victim rots.
