mmm not familiar enough with the Robert Blake case to compare the two. Perhaps the jury did not find the alleged hitmen believable? Just asking, I have no opinion on this one at the moment.

One difference though is the fact that Laci was so photogenic whereas Blake's wife apparently did not have a family championing her....
