Blake Liable for Wife's Murder


# Jury in civil lawsuit awards children of Bonny Lee Bakley $30 million in damages.

By Andrew Blankstein, Times Staff Writer

A jury today found Robert Blake liable under civil law for his wife's murder four years ago, and awarded her children $30 million in damages against him.

The 72-year-old entertainer, best known for his roles in "Our Gang," "In Cold Blood" and "Baretta," was acquitted of murder earlier this year when a separate jury could not find evidence beyond a reasonable doubt against him for the murder of Bonny Lee Bakley.
