Uncharged Conduct, and Michael Price Uncharged…Yet
Hewing to Judge Lynn Leibovitz’ scheduling order, the prosecution has met their first deadline. The government’s filing of “Uncharged Conduct I” was due on February 5th and was made public Tuesday, Feb. 16th… just a few days after Valentine’s Day. This was no Whitman’s Sampler to the defendants.
“Given the...

A New Judge, And A New Attitude, In Moultrie >> New pic added
Long time Wone observers had become accustomed to the somewhat folksy ways and relaxed pace of Judge Fredrick Weisberg. Whatever else learned from today’s status hearing, it was obvious that new Judge Lynn Leibovitz came ready to rumble.

For the past three years, case watchers have held many unanswered questions regarding several aspects of drugs, testing and blood samples. Both prosecution and defense teams have shared some of those questions.

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.
