Robert Wone murder mystery: BlackBerry evidence mishandled

””If the decedent was sending email messages at 11:05 p.m. and 11:07 p.m., then obviously he wasn’t dead. That would be critical to the government’s case, but also more critical to the defense because it closes the window of the amount of time someone could have killed him. In this case it’s alleged our clients orchestrated this whole thing.”

Defense Attorney Bernard Grimm regarding the Robert Wone murder case and a BlackBerry that has gone missing with at least two messages that were seen but not copied by the Secret Service. Three gay men — Joseph Price, Victor Zaborsky, and Dylan Ward — who lived at the Dupont Circle home where Robert Wone was murdered remain free during the ongoing investigation. They face charges of obstruction of justice since. Evidence that Wone was restrained, sexually assaulted and stabbed has slowly been revealed to the press and public over the last 3 years.
