Questions By Jurors in Blake Trial
I'm against allowing jurors to question witnesses. They are fact-finders, not advocates, and I have always suspected they wouldn't have a clue what questions might be appropriate.
Among the questions jurors wanted to ask actor Robert Blake in the ongoing civil trial for damages over the wrongful death of his wife (Blake was acquitted or murder in the criminal trial):
One of the jurors deciding whether Robert Blake is responsible for his wife's murder wants to know whether the actor can name the four Gospels in the Bible.
Another asked whether Blake let his murdered wife's children — who allege he is liable for her death — attend Bonny Lee Bakley's funeral four years ago.
Another juror wanted to know if Bakley's daughter attended Sunday school.
