During his murder trial, "Baretta" actor Robert Blake, who was accused of shooting his wife, Bonny Lee Bakley, appeared alternately surprised, annoyed and bored. Outside the courtroom, he occasionally seemed more cheerful, although he did not reprise his guitar rendition of "Over the Rainbow" as he did during a pretrial hearing last year.

Robert Blake was acquitted of one murder count and two counts of solicitation of murder on March 16, 2005.
