The Execution of Bonny Lee Bakley
In the spring of 2001, Bonny Lee Bakley was found murdered on a dimly lit North Hollywood street, with her husband, famed actor Robert Blake, as the prime suspect. Bonny wasn't a saint either; she was a notorious con artist with a list of enemies, including a tenuous connection to Christian Brando, the infamous son of Marlon Brando. Her murder case rivaled the national intrigue of the O.J. Simpson trial and led detectives on an almost year-long journey through Hollywood's seedy underbelly. The question still remains: did Robert Blake kill his wife, or was her death the result of someone else's grudge? This six-part series from Wondery delves deep into their toxic relationship, her tragic death, and the whirlwind trial that followed.
