New Indictment Says Arent Fox Partner Conspired to Conceal Nature of Lawyer’s Death
A grand jury has returned a superseding indictment accusing Arent Fox partner Joseph Price and two other men of conspiring to conceal the “true circumstances” of the fatal stabbing of a lawyer at Price’s DuPont Circle home.
The superseding indictment (PDF posted by Legal Times) charges Price, his domestic partner Victor Zaborsky and their friend Dylan Ward with conspiracy, obstruction of justice and evidence tampering, Legal Times reports. The charges relate to the death of Robert Wone, a house guest who was killed in August 2006.
The indictment says one or all of the men cleaned blood from the crime scene, placed Wone’s body on a bed, put blood on a knife not used in the murder, and “carefully” placed the knife on a nightstand.
The three men had previously been charged with obstruction of justice. They all deny any involvement in Wrone’s death and say an intruder was responsible for the slaying.
