Two Hollywood stuntmen, Gary McLarty and Ronald "Duffy" Hambleton, are expected to testify as key witnesses in Robert Blake's upcoming trial for his alleged murder of his wife, Bonny Lee Bakley, reports the Associated Press. Prosecutors in the case have said that the ex-"Baretta" star, 68, asked two other people to kill Bakley last year before doing the job himself. Authorities have not identified the two, and Sandi Gibbons, a spokeswoman for the L.A. District Attorney's office, declined comment to the AP on the names of the witnesses. However, in the cover story for PEOPLE's latest issue, it is reported that one of those whom, according to the legal complaint against the actor, Blake tried to recruit to kill Bakley on his behalf appears to have been Gary McLarty, 61. (Blake and McLarty met when they worked on the 1980 movie Coast to Coast.) McLarty wasn't talking last week, but his son Cole, 29, also a stuntman, told PEOPLE that his father met with Blake at a restaurant in the San Fernando Valley, and Blake "proposed money or something for my dad to do something to his wife . . . He just left it at that." His father, adds Cole, didn't take the offer seriously. "He just walked out and thought that (Blake) was crazy." Cole says that investigators learned of his father's alleged involvement by tracing Blake's phone calls. But Blake's attorney, Harlan Braun, for one, maintains that he is not overly concerned. "It's totally fabricated, or maybe Robert was bemoaning (Bonny) and said something like, 'I could kill the bitch,'" he told PEOPLE. "Being Hollywood, these things get exaggerated."
