Just an Observation

I am back. I was just pondering the verdict of not guilty in the Robert Blake case in California. I was struck by something. It seems to me, and I know the sample size is small, that if you are a third rate actor that it is "legal" to murder your spouse, or ex-spouse, in California. I come to that conclusion, not on the basis of the evidence, but given OJ Simpson and this case. It is kind of funny, in a sad sort of way, but if you are married to a has been actor, I would be very careful.

Now we have the spectre of Phil Spector to watch. If he is not convicted, I will have to broaden my theory to include celebrities killing "nobody" type actresses as being permissible in California. Is this a question of having the right to own firearms without having the responsibility of respecting them and the damage that they can cause? Though, OJ had the good sense to slash his way to a successful kill. (Is it really good sense? I do not know but he did get away with it, at least at his criminal trial. I do wish him luck on his decade long quest to "find" the killer of Nicole Simpson and Goldman.)

That is all I want to say about this situation. I did think that the prosecution's case was not strong enough. There was NO physical evidence tying Robert Blake to the murder. In a civil sense, on a balance of probabilities, he is most likely guilty, but he is not by a reasonable doubt. It is interesting to note that the credibility of prosecution witnesses was weak, so that in a nutshell allowed Mr. Blake to get away with murder. Then again, from all appearances, his wife was not a pillar of the community. I am not saying that she deserved to die, especially in that manner, it is just not such a shock. The lesson may be one of karma. You play "dirty", you may just die "dirty".

Keep looking up y'all!
