Defense Rests in Robert Blake Murder Case

LOS ANGELES - Robert Blake's defense rested Wednesday without calling him to the stand, but the actor was able to tell jurors his story in a videotape of a TV interview that was played in court.

"It's all about Rosie," he said, referring to the baby he had with slain wife Bonny Lee Bakley. "It's always been about Rosie. The greatest gift in the world, and I'm going to try to mess it up by being selfish?"

The final day of Blake's extensive defense case also featured his adult daughter, Delinah Blake-Hurwitz, testifying about her adoption of the child. She underwent such a rigorous cross-examination by the prosecutor that many questions went unanswered when Judge Darlene Schempp ruled they were argumentative.

Blake Says He Didn't Have Anyone Kill Wife

LOS ANGELES - During his second day of testimony in a wrongful death lawsuit, actor Robert Blake acknowledged he may have said disparaging things about his wife before she was shot to death. But he said he never asked anyone to kill her.

"I could easily have been venting and saying things," Blake testified. "When I'm angry, I run my mouth."

Blake testified in the suit brought by the family of Bonny Lee Bakley. After a criminal trial earlier this year, the star of the old "Baretta" television series was acquitted of murdering Bakley. He did not testify during that trial.

    • Wait, Burning Man is going online-only? What does that even look like?
      You could have been forgiven for missing the announcement that actual physical Burning Man has been canceled for this year, if not next. Firstly, the nonprofit Burning Man organization, known affectionately to insiders as the Borg, posted it after 5 p.m. PT Friday. That, even in the COVID-19 era, is the traditional time to push out news when you don't want much media attention. 
      But secondly, you may have missed its cancellation because the Borg is being careful not to use the C-word. The announcement was neutrally titled "The Burning Man Multiverse in 2020."
