LOS ANGELES - District Attorney Steve Cooley says Robert Blake was guilty as sin and the jurors who acquitted him of murder were incredibly stupid.

A jury last week found the former Baretta star not guilty in the 2001 slaying of his wife, Bonny Lee Bakley, who was shot in a car outside a restaurant where the couple had dined.

Quite frankly, based on my review of the evidence, he is as guilty as sin. He is a miserable human being, Cooley said Wednesday.

Blakes attorney, M. Gerald Schwartzbach, said the district attorneys attack on the jurors was inappropriate and small-minded.

Juror Chuck Safko said: To hear him say we arent a smart jury is sour grapes. They didnt have a good case. Their case was built around witnesses who werent truthful.

Why is it that after a person is aquitted of a crime, a DA can run around slandering them?  If I were Blake, I'd sue.

That's what I was thinking Atc.  Sounds like slander to me.  Not only for Blake, but for the Jurors as well.

By the way, I've finally gotten a Mountain bike, Jamis Dakar Sport, upgrading the rear shock though.  Now it just needs to dry out so I can ride!

Cool.  I need to get out on mine this year.  We recently got a Burley to drag my daughter around in, so maybe it'll happen.
