Robert Blake, star of the ‘70s TV cop show “Baretta,” was arrested for the 2001 murder of his wife, Bonny Lee Bakley, outside a Los Angeles restaurant where the two had just dined. Police suspected that Blake hired a hitman to kill Bakley, but he was acquitted in 2002 due to insufficient evidence and unreliable witnesses. Three years later, he was found liable for Bakley’s death in a civil trial and ordered to pay $30 million.
