“LOS ANGELES - Actor Robert Blake was acquitted of killing his wife four years ago because the state simply didn’t make its case, jurors said, citing flimsy evidence and a pair of unbelievable witnesses.”

A famous celebrity is arrested after the death of his wife in a much-publicized case.

The actor (I guess he is still acting. I haven’t seen him in anything in twenty years) was arrested to the accompaniment of many television cameras.

The prosecutors confidently predicted a speedy conviction. The defense called the trial a farce, and predicted acquittal. Months stretched to years before the trial finally wound down to a surprise verdict: not guilty. A lawyer for the victim’s family immediately announced a civil suit against the accused murderer that would finally bring justice.
