Superior Court Judge Darlene Schempp found no reason to allow a ``conditional examination'' of Dianne Mattson before Blake's trial on charges of murdering Bonny Lee Bakley. ``While the defense may have made a persuasive argument,'' Schempp said, ``I'm not ruling on the materiality at this time. There is nothing that indicates Mattson (and her son Adam) cannot return for trial.'' The judge said she had to conclude the request was made to avoid having Mattson testify at trial. She said jurors should have the opportunity to see Mattson, if she testifies, and judge her credibility. Blake, 69, is charged with murdering Bakley outside a restaurant where they dined on May 4, 2001.
