Incredible parallels between John List + Robert Blake

Did you know that Robert Blake who plays John List in this film was arrested for the murder of his 2nd wife? In transpires that, in 2002, his wife at the time, Bonnie Lee Bakley, was killed by a bullet to the back of the head whilst sitting in a car - they had just been for dinner, the car was parked around the corner from the restuarant. Robert Blake reckons he went back to the restuarant to get his "gun" which he had left on the table. But it wasn't his gun that fired the fatal shot. This story is almost as insane as the character he portrays in Judgment Day.

The murder & his trial took place in 2002. He was aquitted (11-1), although the judge called the jurors "incredilbly stupid" & Robert Blake "a miserable human being"

Robert Blakes story makes interesting reading - Wikipedia provide a good synopsis of his story.
