Of course. That is why the defense’s ‘intruder theory’ is flat-out ridiculous. A ‘mysterious intruder’ would not have been able to get in, commit the crimes, wash the victim’s body, place him on the sofabed, clean up, and run off into the night in such a short window of time, all the while with the three residents fast asleep at 11:30 p.m.

If the killers are residents of the house, they had plenty of time to clean up before calling the police.

I can’t understand how the killer had time to commit the rape and clean up. It’s all very strange (and terribly sad).

@Austin:
I have learned (since I have no real social life) from seeing not only every episode of all flavors of Law & Order, Dexter, and CSI, but just about every episode of crime procedural on Investigation Discovery and truTV, that many murderers of opportunity are just plain stupid. Mind you, no less stupid than some homicide detectives (e.g. Ochoa vs. Austin Police Department), but stupid. Like the crackhead who went to rob, rape and murder his neighbors so he could get his fix and his groove on, and covered his hands with his sock so as not to leave fingerprints at the crime scene, but forgot to put his shoes back on, leaving bloody but clearly identifiable footprints everywhere.

Then there was the victim of the serial rapist/murderer who had the presence of mind to leave a dental impression in the window gasket of the pickup truck she was being raped in so the truck could be traced later by a forensic dentist.

And the list goes on and on… Potential criminals need to think really intently before doing stupid shit in the course of a felony.

Television is good for somet things, you have to admit.

wee-elll
i kind of want to make a joke here
about how those guys told the cops they “just weren’t really into asians”,
and to please not “judge” them…
but i can’t bring myself to go there.
… i just hope they didn’t “objectify” the poor guy.
forgive me!

There’s no murder charge, only charges for conspiracy, tampering w/evidence, and obstruction of justice. Why? Because those three men cleaned up the crime scene, disposed of the true murder weapon and evidence, and are playing dumb.

i’m confused. Because this story, dated a day later, says there is no murder charge.

@JoJo

See. That never occurred to me. But rape makes sense. I thought since he knew them and were friends with them that date rape wouldn’t be a motive. But I guess you need to be wary of the friends you know as well.

That’s sad if that’s true. Well, it’s sad all around.

Motive: probably rape. Authorities believe Wone was injected with paralyzing drugs. He could have been given date rape drugs too. At least one of the 3 residents was probably high on drugs. There was no intruder, that’s just BS spouted by the accused.

scott — Sat, 17 Jan 2009 05:03:09 +0000

This is a very strange case. I agree with Meeko. It makes no sense. CSI/Law and Order would love it.

Was Wone closeted? Or were the 3 dudes gay predators? Or was is really someone who broke in?

Crazy world we live in.

By: MEEKO

MEEKO — Sat, 17 Jan 2009 00:50:17 +0000

But WTF is the motive?
Makes no sense to me? Who betrayed who? Drug induced? WTF happened?

By: Austin

Austin — Fri, 16 Jan 2009 20:49:40 +0000

So strange, and sad.

But maybe I’ve been watching too much Dexter, but it just seems like the killer (whoever he (or they) might be) just had no clue how to cover his tracks whatsoever.

Disgusting and tragic.

Actually, the Washington Post and the Washington Blade have both printed the details of the crime scene, including the needle punctures found on Mr. Wone and what was found where.

I think with the levying of evidence tampering and conspiracy charges, the District is just working their way up the ladder to murder.

Gay violence and maybe murder! Gosh and I thought we were all a bunch of passives. I’d love to know what the homosexual murder rate is. Its so minimal, I suspect, that the the Right Wing cannot use it against us…..

@Tallskin: “Bit like the film Spinal Tap, where one of the dead drummers of the band was found dead choked to death on vomit – not his own!”

Actually they were never really able to find out for sure. You can’t really dust for vomit. :)

Good grief – “found with his own semen in his rectum”??? How does that work? I am trying to imagine!

@Val: I don’t think I’d say the media “failed” to report those facts. Rather, I’d describe it as the media exercising a small bit of discretion and respect for a change.

By: Mike

Mike — Fri, 16 Jan 2009 18:52:39 +0000

@Val: Even if there was an orgy, would that disprove or justify murder? What does one have to do with the other? Nothing, of course.

What the media has time and time again failed to report is the orgy these guys were engaging in, probably high as kites, and the fact that Mr. Wone was found with his own semen in his rectum.

Please cover the trial of this case, Japhy. This is a very thick and intriguing plot of 3 gay murderers/accomplices and a co-worker (pictured) who had a wife. Get Dominick Dunne, this is the Gay Trial of the Century. Alas, why no pics of the alleged murderers?
