If murder charges were pending against the Swann Street defendants, maybe the legal wranglings would seem more clear cut to the lay person. Those trained in the law have the insight, but to the rest of us it’s all clear as mud.
Judge Frederick Weisberg further confused us at the April 24th status hearing when...

Better Late Than Later

One task we’d been meaning to tackle was an FAQ and a one-pager on this effort that will help new visitors better understand the crime, players, cases and our involvement. Hopefully this will also help to clarify any questions about our approach. This will become a...

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.
