Los Angeles DA Cooley - Poster Boy for Encouraging Jury Service
DA Says Robert Blake Jurors Were Stupid BigEd has served as a juror in LA county : 4 trials - 4 convictions in 20 years. One Drug Dealer, One Burgular, Two Drunk Drivers... LOS ANGELES (AP) -- 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. Blake's attorney, M. Gerald Schwartzbach, said the district attorney's attack on the jurors was inappropriate and "small-minded." Juror Chuck Safko said: "To hear him say we aren't a smart jury is sour grapes. They didn't have a good case. Their case was built around witnesses who weren't truthful." We all make mistakes. I voted for this bozo. He was the one who defeated Gil Garcetti, the DA that messed up the Simpson trial. We in L.A. can't catch a break. Posted by: BigEd 2005-03-24 |
