Hurry in! QDPIRo) gea fifaaiuosisasfi. Actor Robert Bisks, accused of shooting hta pregnant wife. Stuntman says Blake asked him to kill nfe At least 3 say actor discussed schemes to whack woman By ANDREW BLANKSTEIN and MEGAN GARVEY Los Angeles LOS ANGELES Actor Rob- ert Blake repeatedly asked him to kill Bonny Lee Bakley, stuntman Ronald Dufly" Hambleton said Friday, testifying that Blake was unable to even think about or do anything until his wife was taken care of. Snuff was the word he used, Hambleton said on the third day of Blakes preliminary-hearing on charges that be shot Bakley, 44, to death two years ago. The case may turn out to become singularly complicated because an author, Miles Corwin, writing a book about homi-.

cide investigations by the Los Angeles Police Department, was permitted to accompany detectives and become privy to key elements of the investigation. Hambleton said days before Bakley was killed, he met with the actor a third and final time. Hambleton said Blake, 69, told him: If I wouldn't do it, he would. Hambleton, 66, was the third witness to testify that Blake had discussed killing Bakley with them. Gary McLarty, also a stuntman, said Thursday that Blake asked him to pop his wife.

Private investigator and retired Los Angeles homicide detective William Welch had said Wednesday that Blake said be planned to whack Bakley, at die time single and pregnant with their daughter, if she could not be forced to have an abortion. Similar to McLarty's earlier testimony that Blake had offered several scenarios for killing his wife, Hambleton on Friday outlined at least half a dozen plans proposed by Blake for Bakleys murder. Most pointedly, Hambleton said Blake took him to parking lots near a restaurant where the actor ate dinner with Bakley minutes before she was shot to death in his' car. Once there, Hambleton said, Blake diseased how someone could wait nearby to kill Bakley. Blake also suggested that Bakley could be shot in her bedroom, in his camper, 'while walking with Blake down a street, at a motel or in a number of secluded areas t-' outside of the gambling resort of Laughlin, near the Grand Canyon or' anywhere between Memphis and Los.

Angeles, according to 'Hambletdhs'testimonyTBlake said he could ad the mafia" to kill Bakley, but 'did not want to be beholden to organized crime, Hambleton testified. Hambletons testimony fol-' lowed more than two hours of cross-examination of the murder investigations lead detective. Taking a page from the 0 J. Simpson playbook, Blakes defense attorney Thomas Me-sereau, Jr. tried repeatedly Friday to suggest that police were biased when they investigated his client for his wifes murder.
