...counts of solicitation of murder. The aggravated-murder charge can carry the death penalty. Blake's bodyguard, Earle Caldwell, was also arrested, and police say he will be charged with one count of conspiracy to commit murder. A creepy bit of foreshadowing: in the pilot episode of Baretta, the cop's TV wife is killed outside a restaurant...
