Wone Trial Starts: Attorneys for both sides offered opening arguments in the Robert Wone obstruction and conspiracy case on Monday.

Prosecutors, meanwhile, argued that the physical evidence shows that the crime scene was tampered with. WMRW previews today’s testimony, which will start with resumed questioning of Wone’s widow, Kathy.
