LOSE ANGELES - After four days in a city jail, Robert Blake will face charges Monday that he tried to hire someone to kill his wife and, failing that, shot and killed her himself.

Los Angeles police arrested the 68-year-old television and film actor early Thursday evening after compiling what they deemed "compelling and significant" evidence that he shot and killed his wife, Bonny Lee Bakley, outside a north Hollywood restaurant last May.

A thorough, 11-month investigation by Los Angeles police produced 35,000 pages of documentation, more than 900 pieces of evidence and a firm, self-assured stance proving that, as Los Angeles police Capt. Jim Tatreau said, "Robert Blake shot Bonny Bakley."

Blake first won fame as a child star in "Our Gang" comedy shorts but is perhaps best known as the Emmy-winning star of the 1970s television crime drama "Baretta."

Looks to me like another O.J. case, which of course means that this Blake guy will walk. You gotta love the American judicial system.

It's time to look at what you're doing and listen to what you're saying, because a lot of this stuff really isn't you. You're under someone else's influence and this isn't doing you any favours, so shake it off and start doing things your way.
