Christian Brando during his 1990 trial: Forensic evidence supported his account. Gunshot residue on Dag Drollet's hand and the bullet's trajectory indicated that the shooting was accidental, not intentional.

Dr. Michael Baden is a forensic pathologist who was involved in all the high profile criminal cases including the case of Marlon Brando's son, Christian, who shot his half-sister's boyfriend. Despite the fact that it appeared that Christian had shot Drollet from above and that the bullet had exited the body, no bullet was recovered from his body or from the couch. Dr. Baden insisted on looking at the scene, and like the officers, failed to find the bullet in the couch or the body.
Baden noticed that the room has a shag rug. He got down on his hands and knees and eventually found the bullet under the rug. That tended to support how Christian had described things.
Dr.Baden wrote: "I'd later testify that the bullet's trajectory through Drollet's neck and into the shag carpet showed that he had been sitting up on the couch. Gunshot residue tests performed by police showed that Drollet's hand was near the muzzle when it discharged-consistent with Christian's statement that the weapon
went off accidentally when Drollet tried to grab it."
"It's very hard to see an entry hole in a shag rug," Baden explains. "But what impressed me most in that case was when we found the bullet and we called the police. A sergeant came and I asked why the officers at the crime scene hadn't done a better job looking for the bullet. I'll never forget what he said. 'Look, doc. If you do a lousy job all the time, just because an important case comes up doesn't mean you can now do a good job. You don't know how to do it any better.' That will live with me forever. Unless you do the best job you can with every crime scene and every autopsy, you won't do it right when more important ones come in. To us, every case is equally important. When it comes to death, we're all equal."

During Robert Blake’s Civil Trial in 2005, “He’s Going to Be Judged Someplace Else” said Christian Brando.

During his testimony in Robert Blake civil trial in 2005, Christian Brando repeatedly invoked his Fifth Amendment right because he did not want to become involved in what he viewed as unreasonable questioning from Blake’s attorneys, especially since he was not closely involved in the victim’s life during her marriage to Robert Blake. However, he told the judge:

“This has been going on for five years. Mr. Blake’s been pointing the finger at me. I had absolutely nothing to do with this.”

Despite the fact that the Los Angeles police investigated and cleared him of any involvement, Robert Blake’s legal team attempted to shift blame toward him in a desperate move to protect their client.

Brando was subpoenaed in Blake’s civil trial. With his lawyer, Bruce M. Margolin, by his side, he invoked his Fifth Amendment right. Margolin said his client did not answer most of the attorneys’ questions because he did not want to open a “Pandora’s box” that would make his personal life the focus of the trial.

Brando also did not want to make statements in court that could be taken “out of context,” Margolin added.

“Blake’s defence apparently is trying to imply that [Brando] is involved in Blake’s domestic dispute with his wife,” Margolin said outside court.

“This was an attempt to implicate Christian in something he had no part in,” Margolin stated. “He does not in any way want to be implicated in this attempt.”

Outside the courthouse, reporters asked Brando whether he had any idea who may have killed Bonny Lee Bakley. He shrugged, smiled, and replied:

“Probably sitting up in the room there.”

— referring to Robert Blake, who was present in the courtroom.

Christian Brando was also asked how he felt about Blake being acquitted in the criminal trial.

“He’s going to be judged someplace else,” he said.

هذا النقش يصف هزيمة الملكه العربيه شمسي بعد مشاركتها في الثورة الشامية على الاشوريين المعركة مؤرخة بسنة 734 ق.م

بعض أقدم النساء الحاكمات الموثقات تاريخيًا في الجزيرة العربية لم يأت ذكرهن في مصادر عربية متأخرة، بل في سجلات الملوك الآشوريين أنفسهم، الذين اعتبروهن قادة سياسيين وعسكريين يستحقون الذكر بالاسم

في مملكة أدوماتو الواحية (الجوف الحالية في المملكة العربية السعودية)، تذكر السجلات الآشورية عدة ملكات عربيات حكمن قبل أكثر من 2700 عام.
• زبيبة (Zabibe) ترد في السجلات الآشورية كحاكمة تعاملت مباشرة مع الإمبراطورية الآشورية.
• شمسي (Samsi) قادت مقاومة ضد القوات الآشورية، وقادت جيشها الخاص ووحدات من فرسان الجمال.
• تئل-هونو (Te’el-hunu) حكمت من أدوماتو، وكانت ذات أهمية كبيرة لدرجة أن الآشوريين سجلوا أسرها ثم إعادتها إلى الحكم لاحقًا.
• تابوعة (Tabua) نشأت في البلاط الآشوري قبل أن تُعاد إلى بلاد العرب لتتولى الحكم.
كانت هذه الملكات يدِرن طرق التجارة، ويقدن المحاربين، ويتفاوضن مع الإمبراطوريات، وحكمن قبل قرون من ملكات شهيرات مثل كليوباترا السابعة.
إن تاريخ الجزيرة العربية لم يصنعه الملوك والمحاربون وحدهم، بل أسهمت في صنعه الملكات أيضًا.

This inscription describes the defeat of Samsi , the Arab queen of Qedar, after her participation in the Levantine revolt against the Assyrians; the battle is dated to 734 BC.

Many people are surprised to learn that some of the earliest documented female rulers in Arabian history came from the Kingdom of Adummatu in today’s Al-Jawf region of Saudi Arabia.
Queens such as Zabibe, Samsi, Te’el-hunu, and Tabua were recorded by the Assyrians themselves as rulers of Arab tribes and kingdoms.
What makes this especially remarkable is that some of the earliest known Arab queens are not known from later Arab traditions, but from the royal records of the Assyrian Empire, which considered them important enough to mention by name. These women commanded armies, controlled trade routes, negotiated with empires, and played a major role in the history of ancient Arabia more than 2,700 years ago.

In the (1990s) and (2000s), tabloids chased Marlon Brando's eldest son, Christian, across the country, even knocking on his door seeking proof of drug use. They found none. He lived as a welder who loved his job, and thou his autopsy cleared him, Media still link him to drug abuse.
