Detective: Blake wanted to prepare will

Los Angeles:

The night his wife was shot to death, Robert Blake said he feared he would be next and asked his lawyer if he could immediately write out a will protecting his daughter, a police detective acknowledged on the witness stand Monday. The former “Baretta” star made the comments while talking to his lawyer during a police interview after the May 4, 2001, killing of Bonny Lee Bakley, according to Detective Martin Pinner. It was the first time jurors at the murder trial had heard that he may have been afraid of an unidentified killer. Pinner answered “yes’ when the actor’s lawyer asked him: “So Blake was expressing concern about he himself being killed?”— AP
