BLAKE
Judge Lloyd Nash allowed pros
ecutors to use the tape in the
preliminary hearing to decide
whether there is sufficient evi
dence to order Blake and a body
guard to stand trial. He said the
tape might not be admissible at a trial, however.
Bakley, 44, was shot as she sat in the couple's car
near a restaurant where they had dined on May 4,
2001. Blake, 69, has claimed he went back into the
restaurant to retrieve a gun he carried for protection
and found Bakley shot when he returned to the car.
Blake faces life in prison without parole if
convicted.
On the tape, Bakley sniffled and cried as she
insisted her only concern was to stay with Blake.
"All I ever wanted was to be with you," she said.
Blake urged her to get an abortion, suggesting "a
pill from France."
In other testimony, police Sgt. Charles Knolls testi
fied that a diner who saw Blake and Bakley the
night of the slaying reported that the actor looked
nervous, appeared to be hyperventilating and asked
someone for water.
At the hearing, Blake's lawyer challenged a coro
ner's work on the autopsy. Deputy Medical
Examiner Jeffrey Gutstadt testified that a bullet that
went through Bakley's cheek was fired in a slightly
upward direction.
In a long cross-examination, lawyer Thomas
Mesereau Jr. suggested the autopsy never exactly
established Bakley's position when she was shot,
the height of her assailant, or which of the two shots
that killed her came first.
The coroner testified that Bakley was killed by one
bullet that went through her right cheek and into
her brain and another bullet that entered through
her right shoulder. He noted that there were no
