…and the Shortest Filing Ever, So Far.
We’re heading into the Thanksgiving holiday, and just in time comes something to be thankful for: the briefest filing we’ve yet seen in what looks like actual progress. Namely, and we quote in its entirety:
“Plaintiff Estate of Robert E. Wone, through its attorneys, submits this praecipe to withdraw...

Tuesday Tea Time Movie
We join Joe Price’s first recorded MPD interview at Anacostia’s Violent Crime Branch about 30 minutes into it (on page 38 of the first transcript). It began around 4:30am. Who knows what happened to the first half hour; both our AV squad and theirs are working on it.

“Well, he died. You don’t get any older than that.”

Someone’s Clearly Not On The Same Page
Whatever else can be said, this week’s motions have clarified one question…and raised multiple new ones.
First, the question answered: how would the defense counter the prosecution’s filing of “Uncharged Conduct 1″?
The government’s blueprint was assertive and the case brought by AUSA Glenn Kirschner and his deputy Patrick Martin...

Joe and Victor Jumped to Dylan’s Defense; Why Didn’t Dylan Reciprocate?

Among the highlights: MPD Officer Diane Durham’s end-of-shift statement that contradicted the Trouple’s story on where they discovered Robert; the fact that all three of the housemates either left their places of employment voluntarily or not; a change in judges for the...

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.
