Blake's lawyer has contended that two retired stuntmen who were allegedly solicited as hit men were shady characters themselves and their testimony could be untrustworthy "
In the Wynona Ryder shoplifting case, the cameras were only allowed in for the verdict and sentencing He takes up with a woman of dubious reputation, gets her pregnant and is suddenly confronted with the prospect of marriage and fatherhood in his sunset years "
Among those watching the show on TV is Dominick Dunne, the novelist and columnist who has covered many trials himself " Chemerinsky said "
Court TV senior publicist Ellie Jostad said it's nearly impossible to compare the Blake ratings with other recent trials because Court TV has not had access to the entire proceedings in some other high-profile cases Blake Case Allows Escape From War Talk
Mar 8, 1:47 PM EST
The twists and turns of the Robert Blake murder case being played out during his nationally televised preliminary hearing could be the stuff of daytime soap opera
"Anecdotally, we know there is a lot of interest in this case," Jostad said of the Blake hearing "In the United States once you gain TV star status, it doesn't go away It's like he's playing his last, greatest role and he's going to make the most of it
University of Southern California law professor Erwin Chemerinsky agreed that the status Blake gained from his 1970s detective show "Baretta" is important
Some legal experts say it offers the public the same chance to escape from the drumbeat of approaching war
Further complicating the scenario is the arrest of Blake's handyman-bodyguard, Earle Caldwell, charged with conspiring with his boss to kill Bakley Blake, a lonely, aging celebrity, trawls Hollywood clubs looking for companionship "This is the greatest diversion In the Clara Harris murder case, access was granted only for closing arguments and proceedings that followed It has all the aspects of a soap opera But I have recently become riveted by the Robert Blake case
Now, with Blake a haggard shadow of the man he used to be, TV cameras are focusing daily on testimony from an odd assortment of witnesses, some who say the actor spent months trying to solicit them to kill his wife
"People cannot sustain the intensity of being on the brink of war all the time," said Laurie Levenson, a professor at Loyola Law School "
Part of the interest, he said, is Blake's celebrity status "
Testimony in the hearing is set to resume Monday
The story is classic Hollywood melodrama Dunne, who often is a victim's advocate, said he initially shrugged off the case because he felt the victim was so unsympathetic
Blake also starred in the feature film "In Cold Blood," in which he played a man who committed multiple murders After a year of investigation he is arrested, placed in solitary confinement and refused bail
"If he hadn't been 'Baretta,' no one would be interested
He becomes smitten with the baby, who bears a striking resemblance to him, and marries the mother reluctantly Then he learns more and more about her past as a con artist with a criminal record
"There's something surreal about it," he said
"It's because Robert Blake is who he is," said Sullivan In some cases where there has been total access, a celebrity was not involved His alibi? He had gone back into the restaurant to get a gun he left behind
Court TV officials say ratings are up since they began televising the hearing gavel to gavel, and their chat rooms and message boards are alive with viewers hashing over the testimony Not to mention that they hardly fit the stereotype of a hired killer "But the world is so frightening now, that it's a diversion
"The people who watch Court TV are trial buffs," said Tim Sullivan, vice president of the cable network
Blake's wife, Bonny Lee Bakley, was found with two bullets in her head, seated in the passenger seat of Blake's car on May 4, 2001, outside a restaurant where they had just dined He's haggard "They talk about the credibility of witnesses and they realize it's not an open and shut case
"It seemed to me death was in her future," Dunne said in a phone interview, "and it was going to happen one way or the other
When the woman is murdered, the finger of suspicion points to Blake "He's lost all this weight and the hair is white
It's a story that is easier for people to wrap their arms around, and it's not threatening
