I have every reason to believe that Robert Blake will make good on this judgment.
I don't have to put a gun in Robert Blake's hand to show he's responsible.
Husbands don't get to decide whether their wives should die, ... There are no more holidays or Christmases with their mom because it wasn't good for Robert Blake's schedule. This was not Robert Blake's retirement plan.
He winked and smiled at me like we were at the beach.
is a really good lawyer, arguing really bad facts.
Regardless of what she did for a living, Bonny loved her kids and her kids loved her,
I'm so excited to finally present our case to the jury, ... After three years preparing, I'm certainly ready and excited to present the case. I'm just hopeful we have 12 jurors with an open mind, and they seem pretty intelligent, so I feel like we're in good shape.
I'm so excited to finally present our case to the jury. After three years preparing, I'm certainly ready and excited to present the case.
Robert Blake realizes the importance to his future acting prospects of not being proven a murderer in a court of law. He also wants to avoid the stigma that O.J. Simpson got after his civil conviction.
I think it's easy to say that I'm ready for this trial, ... We've been ready for three years, and we're excited and I feel great about my case. I feel great about the rulings today and we're ready to go.
Wait, are you saying because they spoke Spanish they were illegal?
Well, if you're undocumented are you going to go to the police?
The fact that Robert Blake wants a do-over doesn't mean that he's entitled to one. The fact that Mr. Blake is not happy about his legacy is something Mr. Blake should have thought of before he killed his wife.
When you received Rosie, did you say, 'It's now you and me, kid?'
Were you afraid you would be attacked while eating your ravioli?
We're talking about a mom. No more holidays. No more birthdays. It's over. Because this wasn't Robert Blake's retirement plan, she had to go.
Yes, if it came with a tag saying that Robert Blake is a murderer.
We feel that Bonny was murdered twice -- once in the car and once on the stand. I plan on proving Robert Blake to be a murderer in July.
We had a three-month trial. The jury took two weeks in deciding that Robert Blake killed his wife. The fact that Robert Blake wants a do-over does not mean he's entitled to one. He's no different than anybody else. He had his day in court, and he lost.
Do you think you should be on this jury?
Do you have any explanation how the gun got from the seat to the floor?
Do you have any facts that someone didn't come forward because they were undocumented?
Do you realize these kids lost their mother? ... Are you having fun?
Your honor, I'm having a hard time seeing what the race of busboys has to do with it,
You mean my whole opening statement is over?
This is the first time you ever said this.
If Robert Blake got in his car after his wife was killed he would have blood on him. (Blake) had no blood on him at all.
I'm going to try to show the real Bonny Lee Bakley, a mother of four beautiful children.
It's too much to say he didn't do it, ... He did it. I wish he didn't, but he did.
Describe for the jury what steps you took to find the killer of your wife,
His heart may have been in the right place, but his head wasn't,
I'll take a cashier's check or cash, whatever he wants. Hopefully not in quarters.
I don't know if there is any ambiguity to it. I don't take what he said lightly.
It's a new jury, so I guess we have a new alibi. I would call it a desperate and insulting attempt to create an alibi that had never been there for four years.
The concept of Robert Blake doing everything he can to avoid paying was highly anticipated. And we're ready for it.
You couldn't do it once you got to know her,
These kids lost their mom, and that got overlooked over the years. This was a real family. This was a real person. To have that validated in a court of law means an awful lot to those kids and I'm very proud to have kept my word to them.
It really comes down to the fact that I get to put Robert Blake on the stand. That's what separates this from the criminal trial in almost every way possible.
This was a crusade for Rosie. They thought they were doing the best thing for her.
How many times would you say you changed your story on the night your wife was murdered?
How many times would you say you lied under oath since your wife was murdered on May 4, 2001 ?
I ask you to listen to her kids and not the lawyers.
