Gay defendants blast officials in Wone case

Attorneys representing one of three gay men charged with obstruction of justice in the murder of Washington attorney Robert Wone are denouncing police and prosecutors for allegedly spreading “speculation, innuendo, assumptions, and irrelevant inflammatory comments” linking the men to the murder.

The comments came in a motion the attorneys filed Tuesday to request the release of defendant Dylan Ward on his own recognizance. It came the same day that Katherine Wone, Robert Wone’s widow, filed a $20 million wrongful death suit against Ward and co-defendants Joseph Price and Victor Zaborsky.
