Former 'Baretta' star ordered to pay $30 million to her children
BURBANK, California (AP) -- A civil jury Friday found actor Robert Blake liable for the slaying of his wife and ordered him to pay $30 million in damages.
The former "Baretta" star was acquitted of criminal charges eight months ago in the May 2001 death of his wife, Bonny Lee Bakley.
Jurors had begun deliberations on November 4; Friday was their eighth day.
Bakley's four children sued the 72-year-old actor in 2002, claiming he should be held responsible for their mother's death and forced to pay damages.
Eric Dubin, an attorney for the children, contended that Blake despised Bakley, believing she trapped him into marriage by getting pregnant and that he decided to get rid of her so he could raise the daughter he adored, Rosie, by himself.
Blake did not testify in the criminal trial but took the stand in the civil case and denied the allegations.
Bakley was found shot to death in Blake's car on a street near a restaurant where they had just dined.
Blake claims he went back into the restaurant to retrieve a handgun that he carried for protection but had left behind in their booth, then went back out to the car and found his wife mortally wounded in the passenger seat.
