Robert Blake: Trial
built 633 days ago
"Robert Blake objects to all these attempts by Steve Cooley to interfere with his right to a fair trial," Braun's motion said. "Mr. Blake ... objects to Mr. Cooley's engineering of his arrest as a political and media event."
Schwartzbach "I'm convinced of Mr. Blake's innocence," Schwartzbach said. Mr. Blake did not speak to reporters about his new lawyer nor did he sing any showtunes. The trial is set for September 9, 2004.

Prosecutors say the lying-in-wait charge makes Blake ineligible under California law for bail until after his preliminary hearing, where Nash will decide if there is enough evidence to proceed to a trial. They ... argue that he is a flight risk and a danger to the community.
When Schwartzbach first raised issues of jury misconduct in a motion for new a trial, Dubin obtained affidavits from five jurors and two alternates who claimed that the trial was fair and that jurors were not prejudiced against Blake. Schwartzbach said those jurors merely offered conclusions and personal feelings which are legally "worthless." The motion for a new trial was denied.
