Marriage Quote by Tommy Bond

It’s a friend’s alibi written in the language of show business loyalty: intimate, emphatic, and carefully non-legal. Tommy Bond isn’t trying to solve a case; he’s trying to stabilize a narrative in public. The most telling choice is how he frames time and access up front: “The last time I spoke with Robert was back in May.” That’s distance dressed as credibility, a subtle preemptive defense against the suspicion that he’s parroting a current PR line. He’s saying: I knew him before the headlines, before the strategies.

Bond’s intent is to shift the audience away from evidence and toward character. “I talked to several radio stations in defense of him” signals a media-era courtroom, where reputations get tried on-air. The subtext is transactional and affectionate at once: if you’re in the same industry, you know how quickly a person becomes a villain in the public imagination, and you also know that silence reads as abandonment.

The phrase “I know how Bobby Blake really is” leans on the diminutive “Bobby,” not “Robert,” a linguistic hand on the shoulder. It’s intimacy used as proof. And then the clincher: “there’s no murder in his heart.” That’s moral language, not factual language. It’s persuasive because it offers the comfort of essence: if someone is “good inside,” the story can’t be true. It also reveals its own fragility. Hearts aren’t crime scenes, and Bond’s certainty is less a claim about what happened than a plea for the public to remember the person before they remember the allegation.
