Eight months after Robert Blake was acquitted at a criminal trial of murdering his wife, a civil jury decided the tough-guy actor was behind the slaying, and ordered him to pay Bonny Lee Bakley's children $30 million. Blake was acquitted at his murder trial last March. But Bakley's children sued the 72-year-old actor in 2002, claiming he should be held responsible for their mother's death and forced to pay damages. Similarly, O.J. Simpson was acquitted at a criminal trial in 1995 of murdering his ex-wife and a friend of hers, but two years later the former football star was found responsible for the slayings in a civil case and was ordered to pay $33.5 million.
