Summary
The Case of Bonnie Lee Bakley And The Only Suspect, Her Husband Actor Robert Blake
**The sound quality of the first couple dozen episodes of this show isn't good; I was still learning!! Skip ahead about a year!**
(Formerly titled "The Tale of the Victim Blame Game"). Bonnie Lee Bakley was many things in her life...a con artist, an identity thief, and an all around lonely hearts type swindler. She also had a fascination with celebrities and did all she could to align herself with the rich and famous, as she was wasn't ever really able to find fame in her own right. She was also a mother, a daughter, and a sister. But when she was murdered in on a dark side street in May of 2001, the fact that she was the victim of a violent crime was completely lost in the media storm and subsequent trial that put her life and her past in the spotlight instead.

| 0:10.0 | In April of 2005, a very good friend of mine was walking through a Costco parking lot with two over three young children in tow. |
| 0:20.0 | She was pushing her shopping cart, keeping a close eye on her middle son, |
| 0:25.0 | four years of age of the time, |
| 0:27.0 | as he was the most free-spirited and adventurous of the mall. |
| 0:31.0 | In other words, he doesn't always listen when asked to mind his |
| 0:36.4 | mom. Her attention was diverted in his direction and in that split second moment what she wasn't noticing a Ford F-150 reversing out of a |
| 0:48.9 | parking spot right in their direction. Before she could even react she suddenly saw the rear tire of |
| 0:55.6 | this truck roll right over her three-year-old daughter. My friend screamed, gaining |
| 1:01.9 | the attention of the driver of the truck, who suddenly came to a stop, and when he did, my friend could see that her little girl was folded in half at the hips. Her thighs pressed up against her chest and the tire of the truck parked squarely on top of her. |
| 1:20.0 | If he hadn't stopped in that moment, if that truck had rolled back any further, |
| 1:26.0 | he would have rolled right over her head. |
| 1:29.0 | But it stopped. |
| 1:31.0 | Tire pressed up against her little chin. |
| 1:35.0 | At the time, I was with my parents. |
| 1:39.0 | They were involved in a small claims lawsuit, and the morning my friend's daughter was run |
| 1:44.7 | over by the F-150 I was in court with my parents there to offer testimony for |
| 1:50.2 | their case if necessary. When our case was over I walked out of the courtroom and into the hallway. |
| 1:58.0 | I glanced at my phone and saw a voicemail from my friend, her voice breaking. |
| 2:04.7 | Hey, Roseanne, we're at the hospital. |
