Murder Mystery Gripping D.C.
What do you think they were doing? Such an odd story. I can't figure out what the 3 have to do with the Wone (sorry about the pun).

The mystery of Robert Wone's death

Three men stand accused of covering up the murder of the lawyer in a trial that has gripped Washington

The paramedics had seen a lot of corpses, but never one quite like this. Robert Wone's chest was carved open by three deep stab wounds. A bloodied knife lay on a side table. But the high-powered Washington lawyer's body was laid out neatly on a bed with his arms at his side. The bedding was unruffled and folded neatly at an angle.

There was no sign of a struggle, none of the defensive wounds that might be expected on a man fighting for his life. Strangest of all, there was almost no blood.

Later, the pathologist found something even more unusual: seven tiny needle pricks to Wone's body that could not be explained by his wife or doctor.

That was four years ago. The police came to a theory over the murder almost immediately, albeit one they have been accused of reaching out of prejudice. But only now is anyone on trial, and not for the killing itself.
