Robert Blake - the white man's OJ

Ok, so let me get this alibi straight - forgive me for not having this down completely, I didn't watch the trial. Robert Blake goes to a restaurant with his wife and brings a gun. For some reason, this restaurant knows he's carrying a gun, and he has to give it to them to hold. On the way back to the car after the meal, Blake slaps his head and says to his wife, "gosh, I left my gun at the restaurant, wait here in the car alone in this unsafe neighborhood while I go back to get it. We aren't going to drive there, because that would make too much sense and I want to be gone long enough for something to happen." Blake comes back to the car some time later and whoops, his wife is dead!
A jury found this story believable, Robert Blake was found not guilty. Think of it as one for the white folks. A decision like this was only fair after the OJ Simpson trial. In the quest for racial fairness, Robert Blake's jury leveled the playing field for insanity. I mean, what good is a 10 million dollar defense if you're going to lose, right?
Next up...Mr. Jackson
