Both the government and defense picked up from where they left off at Wednesday’s motions’ hearing with the biggies still to be decided, including motions to suppress and sever.
The first witnesses were called today, even though the trial has not begun in earnest. Both teams were on their game today, and, in fact, approached the court as...

Uncharged Conduct II
Half the Story
In the clerk’s office this week was thirty pages of Defense Joint Response to Government Notice of Uncharged Conduct II and Some Other Stuff. Nowhere to be found was the government’s notice that this filing responds to, so this doc will have to serve as a study guide.
In the government’s first uncharged...

Gearing Up for Today’s 3:00pm Status Hearing
A lot is on Judge Lynn Leibovitz’ plate this afternoon.
Key defense motions awaiting rulings include those for severance (separate trials) and those to suppress the defendants’ statements of their interrogations on the night of the murder, informally the Miranda challenges.
It’s just over a month away from the scheduled...

A Dear Judge Letter
Government to Judge Weisberg: “Meh.”
It’ s still undecided whether the annual Superior Court felony calender swap will bring in a new judge – former prosecutor Lynn Leibowitz - to preside over the Wone case through the May 2010 trial.

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.
