Actor Robert Blake accused CNN’s Piers Morgan of calling him a liar and much more in a combative, profanity-laced interview Wednesday night. Blake, 78, said he agreed to appear on Morgan’s program to promote his self-published memoir Tales Of A Rascal , but a different topic came up. Blake was acquitted in 2005 in connection with the murder of his wife Bonnie Lee Bakley, though he was found liable in a wrongful death lawsuit.
