The case of the 2006 killing of attorney Robert Wone, 32, in Dupont Circle was back in court last week, when a D.C. Superior Court judge ruled in favor of the Wone estate in a complaint related to the settlement in a wrongful-death suit.
No one has ever been charged with homicide in Wone’s death; the three men who were in the house when he was found unresponsive were found not guilty of obstruction-of-justice charges. The Robert E. Wone Memorial Trust later settled a wrongful-death lawsuit against the men.
In May, the estate filed complaints alleging that two of the men, Joseph Price and Victor Zaborsky, failed to make required payments under the settlement, The Washington Post previously reported.
In D.C. Superior Court hearings held via videoconference last week, Judge Sherry Trafford ruled that Zaborsky must pay a total of $22,245, which includes late fees and attorney fees. Price’s hearing was rescheduled for Nov. 30 to give the Wone estate additional time to notify him of its complaint. Price previously told The Post he wasn’t aware of the complaint, which alleged he owes $56,893.75.
Price and Zaborsky could not immediately be reached for comment, and The Post could not identify current lawyers for either man. Li Reed, an attorney for the Wone estate, had no comment.
