Ladies, Robert Blake is SINGLE!!!!
Does anyone else find it at all interesting that the same day Scott Peterson is sentenced to death for killing his wife, Robert Blake is found not-guilty of killing his?
The thing is, if you look at it, these cases are quite similar. Two guys who hated their wives and felt trapped in their marriage decided the only way to get out of their situation was to kill. Neither seemed very innocent after the murders and neither seemed to be too upset that the mothers of their babies were dead.
The only real difference is the victim. Lacy Peterson was seen as the perfect wife and daughter-she nearly walked on water (oh wait she didn’t. I suck). Bonny Bakley was seen as a money grubbing whore who got knocked up to trap a man into marriage. By the end of the Peterson trial people were asking “why did he have to kill someone so perfect?” By the End of the Blake trial, people were saying “I would have killed her too!”
I really think there was even more evidence against Blake then there was Scott Peterson. Peterson’s case was more circumstantial, they didn’t even have a murder weapon OR a cause of death. Yet he was found guilty. I have to think if the roles were reversed and Peterson was married to Bonny Bakley (well of course I don’t think there would have been any media surrounding the murder of a 40-something year old Bakley) that he would have been found innocent.
How strange that both these cases hinged on the victims. I wonder… if Nicole Brown Simpson had a more angelic face…would OJ still have gotten off?
These cases are definitely cautionary tales for us women. Don’t get married!

Oh well, after the(sure to come)civil trial, Robert can come on down to Florida and help OJ search for the real killers. They must be golfers. Justice ain't done.

Okay! WTF! Blogger made me jump through hoops to post this comment.
Gah!
As for our crappy ass judicial system and horrific men, what can I say.
I will, however, abide by your lovely advice and avoid men. They're too much trouble anyway.
