Blake Dissed Again
This has just not been Robert Blake's month.
Just two weeks after getting dumped by his lawyer, the retired Baretta star suffered another legal diss, having his latest bail bid denied again, this time by the California Supreme Court.
At the end of October, his lawyer filed a new petition with the state's highest court requesting immediate bail for the 69-year-old actor. Blake has been holed up in the slammer since his April 18 arrest for allegedly murdering his wife, Bonny Lee Bakley.
But, without comment Wednesday, the high court agreed with Superior Court Judge Lloyd Nash and said the now snowy-haired actor must remain locked up until a December 11 pretrial hearing.
Earlier in the week, Blake gave up a chance to leave the confines of his cell and stretch his legs. But he failed to show up for his Tuesday deposition in the wrongful death lawsuit filed against him by the adult children of his dead wife. (Blake and Bakley's two-year-old daughter, Rosie, is not a party to the action.)
When the actor did not appear in the interview chamber at L.A.'s Men's Central Jail for the scheduled Q&A, Eric Dubin, the attorney for Bakley's four adult children, shot himself asking questions of an empty chair to make a record of Blake's absence.
Blake's civil attorney, Barry Felsen, said his team had canceled the deposition over the weekend and called the empty-chair videotaping a shameless publicity stunt. "The guy went out there and pretended to be surprised," Felsen told the Associated Press. "He already knew we weren't going to do it. He wanted the attention and this was cheaper than setting up a Website."
Dubin said he didn't get the fax until Monday, which was too late to cancel the deposition.
Felsen has been the legal point man for Blake since the actor's high-powered criminal attorney Harland Braun quit two weeks ago because Blake had decided to do a TV interview on ABC with Diane Sawyer.
Even after the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department quickly put the kibosh on the interview, Braun said he was done dealing with Blake. Blake has since been interviewing potential replacements.
The actor, most famous for his role of Tony Baretta in the '70s TV series, is accused of killing Bakley, 44, in May 2001 outside an Italian restaurant.
Blake is charged with solicitation of murder and conspiracy to commit murder, along with the special circumstance allegation that Bakley was ambushed. Prosecutors have already said they will not seek the death penalty in this case.
