Medical Examiner: Robert Wone ‘Should Have Responded’ to Stab Wounds
D.C. Deputy Medical Examiner Lois Goslinoski testified this week that while examining the body of slain attorney Robert Wone in 2006, she was struck by "the placement and orientation of his wounds."
Wone sustained three knife wounds to the chest. The strange thing, Goslinoski explained during back-to-back days on the witness stand, is that they're all oriented in the same direction and don't have "drag marks" or "fish tailing" or any other marks that would indicate Wone reacted at all to the pain of being cut.
The defense maintains that Wone didn't react to the pain because he was stabbed in his sleep. Defendants Joe Price, Dylan Ward and Victor Zaborsky, together accused of covering up Wone's murder, assert that Wone was stabbed by an unknown intruder while he slept in their guest room.
Questioned by Judge Lynn Leibovitz today, Goslinoski was clear about the unlikelihood of the defendants' version of events being true. Asked by Liebowitz whether it was possible, in her opinion, for the victim to have stayed unconscious and immobile through the stabbing, Goslinoski responded in the negative.
"Wone should have responded to the wounds," she said, even if he was slumbering. Goslinoski said in order for a person not to react to the attack Wone endured, one would have to be suffering from some sort of neurological problem. Or, she said, "They could be under the influence of some substance that would not allow them to respond." Her response would seem to support the theory that Wone was drugged by the housemates before being stabbed.

For Christ sake didn't the ME do a tox screening on Wone, that would clear-up a lot of questions and if they didn't then someone needs to go to jail themselves in the ME's Office!

Rick -- According to the affidavit only a standardized toxicology test were performed (ethanol, acetone, methonol, isopropanol, amphetamines, barbiturates, benzodiazepines, cocaine metabolites, methadone, methamphetaines, opiates, phencyclidine, carbon monox). This would not have revealed a good chunk of incapacitating or paralytic drugs including Ecstacy.

These guys could not wait to render him unconscious so they could get a virgin piece of tail.

What about the fact that Wone was sexually assaulted before his murder. How is this not a very critical factor in all of this. Oh yeah, I love Price's statement to the police, the intruder could have beem the "black man" who lives in a van in the alley... I'm sure if the police could have linked the man to being anywhere close to the house at that time, he would be in jail right now.
