      Its rainy DC today too!

    So, the boys came in together…they DO read this blog! Is Dylan tanned? Does he smell of seusual massage oils?

    • Penelope on 03/12/2010 at 5:12 PM

      More importantly, how is his physique looking?

      • Clio on 03/13/2010 at 12:09 AM

        According to eyewitness accounts, Dylan looked much better (tanned, rested, and ready), than usual, and was escorted by a dashing, bearded gentleman. Florida has been good to him, apparently. I guess that he’s hoping for “a happy ending” for himself, after all.

    Gosh, I hope ShakyCam is in attendance, or even his cousin, SteadyCam.

    Or does Dylan smell like a brand new car, like my Knight in Black Leather? — (Bette Midler)

    • former crackho on 03/12/2010 at 4:56 PM

      He probably smells of a 75 year old man…his last client.

      • Tallulah on 03/12/2010 at 5:25 PM

        Eewwwww

    No paralytic drugs. No sexual assault.

    The murder was a sudden, uuexpected, stunningly forceful stabbing by a person known to and trusted by Wone. Expect this person to confess by the next status hearing.

    You can thank me now.

      The rain in Spain stays mainly in the plains.

      I think I’ll assign an intern to check out the track record of your previous prognostications. Then again, why don’t you do that for us, so there can absolutely be no possible bias.

    • Friend of Rob on 03/13/2010 at 9:43 AM

      Dylan,

      Your client is paying for your full attention — you shouldn’t be trying to type on your phone at the same time.

      • John Grisham on 03/14/2010 at 1:15 AM

        Perhaps Ben Dylin’s most recent client was served a welcoming glass of water, and was also soon fast asleep.

        • She did it on 03/14/2010 at 8:50 AM

          just how much can one charge the blue haired octogenarian set for a dirty sanchez these days?

          • Clio on 03/14/2010 at 12:54 PM

            Plenty, it would seem.

            Looking pasty and tired (according to eyewitnesses), Victor and Joe really need to get into business with a tanned and newly-confident Dyl. A six-handed “sports” massage at an assisted living community, either in Miami or Fort Lauderdale, would be just what the Doctor ordered!

  11. Clio on 03/14/2010 at 12:38 PM

    Editors, will the blood spot on Dyl’s blankie be identified during the next status hearing, or during the Frye hearings to be held later in April? If that blood is from the actual assailant, then would the defense seek to settle this one ASAP?

    • David on 03/14/2010 at 12:44 PM

      Clio,

      First, so glad you had little birdie in the court to report on the soggy spring goings on at the moultrie nest.

      Second, and this is just a guess, that little blood spot may not have turned out to be a blood spot at all. We have heard about the unidentified palm print, but nothing about the comforter spot, so it may not have turned out to be blood after all. Again, just a guess.

      David

Purpose of this Site

On August 2nd, 2006, Washington attorney Robert E. Wone was murdered at 1509 Swann Street. Over two years passed before any criminal charges were filed - and then only conspiracy, obstruction of justice and crime scene tampering charges were brought against the Swann Street housemates, all present in the home on the night of the murder: Joe Price, Dylan Ward and Victor Zaborsky.

On May 17, 2010, a DC Superior Court trial got underway and all three defendants were all acquitted in that bench trial on those pending charges.

Nearly four years later, very little seems clear about what happened that night and who murdered Robert Wone. A cloud of suspicion remains over the Swann Street defendants who have denied any involvement in the murder of their friend or in the alleged cover up.

Judge Lynn Leibovitz found a moral certainty in their collective guilt, but not evidentiary certainty. Civil proceedings in a wrongful death suit filed by Robert's family is the next chapter in this tragic story.

We continue to work together seeking answers to the mystery of Robert Wone's murder and in finding justice for his memory and legacy.
