Robert Blake's lawyers filed a motion to dismiss the murder charges against him today. They says the state has no evidence:

The motion, filed in Los Angeles Superior Court, claims no forensic evidence links Blake to the shooting. No gunshot residue was discovered on Blake, and no DNA tests connected him to the murder weapon, the motion states.

Blake's lawyer, Tom Mesereau, said the prosecution has no case. "The reality is they came up with no evidence at all he participated in the shooting," he said.

The motion will be heard October 31. We'd like to read the motion. Usually, once a judge finds probable cause to bind the case over for trial, it's up to the jury to decide whether the evidence is sufficient. If the prosecution's proof falls short, the defendant moves for a judgment of acquittal at the end of the prosecution's case. We're thinking there must be more to the motion than the lack of direct or physical evidence.
