Jubilant Blake Relishes His New Role as the Acquitted

March 17, 2005

By Sam Quinones, Times Staff Writer

In the 12-week murder trial, jurors never heard Robert Blake testify in his own defense.

But Wednesday, minutes after the jury acquitted him of charges that he killed his wife, Blake emerged from the Van Nuys courthouse with plenty to say.

Before a battalion of reporters and news cameras, the actor turned in a performance resembling the Oscar-acceptance speech that he has never had the opportunity to give during his 60-year acting career.

"My whole life is a blessing," he said over the roar of news helicopters, "for all the times I should have been dead or not even born."

1. Don't count your blessings just yet, Blake.
I think you'll be slumming with O.J.

2. If Blake had nothing to do with his wife's murder, I'll become a Repug.
I've watched this little weasel blabber on since his Baretta days in the 70's and he is fully capable of this murder.

In fact, the testimony by the stunt men who he tried to hire to kill his wife would have put most men behind bars for good.

It aint over till its over, Blake!

3. So will he celebrate over drinkies with Oren James?
Get those 2 together when their Karma kicks in and it could solve the energy problem.
