“Star” offers Blake $100,000

Supermarket tabloid The Star has offered actor Robert Blake $100,000 to take a lie detector test in connection with the murder of his wife, Bonny Lee Bakley. Neither Blake nor his attorneys have responded to the offer. In an interview with Thursday’s New York Post, Star editor-in-chief Tony Frost commented: “If Mr. Blake has nothing to hide, what better way is there of removing the umbrella of suspicion? … The results of a polygraph are not admissible in a court of law, but they do go a long way to convincing the court of public opinion.”
