Found Deceased CO - Suzanne Morphew, 49, Chaffee Co, 10 May 2020 #81 *arrest*

[Deleted member 222031]

The judge says there are three things that goes against the defense argument. He says: 1. This is a probable cause hearing 2. A body is not required for homicide charges. 3. A body is not needed as long is there is other evidence to prove something happened.

He says there has to be a reasonable belief that the defendant “may” have committed this crime. Judge says he draws all reasonable inference in favor of prosecution.

Judge says he believes there is probable cause #BarryMorphew may have committed murder and tampering with a deceased human body. He says there are two motivations: an affair and that she wanted a divorce.

Judge must believe BM had direct knowledge of the affair before killing her? Anyone?

I feel heartbroken for those girls. What a horrible thing they must be going through. I can't imagine what is going on in their heads right now.

I wonder if supporting the girls is one of the reason so many family members were there.

#BarryMorphew is looking up at the judge during all of this. Hard to see more of his demeanor with his mask on.

Are there any tweets on reactions from BM or his family?

None from Lauren, she's been a little slower today than usual. Probably lots of emotion in the courtroom. MOO

My hubby's happy---now I can drive him to the airport.

Did you make him some homicide lasagna for the plane?

The judge says it is unlikely #SuzanneMorphew went on a bike ride the morning of May 10th. He says several of her items were not with her and some of her items were in the fire and it’s likely she would’ve taken those with her if she left. #BarryMorphew

Finally- judge says #SuzanneMorphew is a loving and devoted mother and says she will hold out in an unhappy marriage until her youngest is out. He says it makes little sense she would leave her children’s lives and cause deep pain.

Oh my goodness! I feel like I've been holding my breath & can finally breathe! I feel so emotional, anyone else???

It's officially wine:30 @ my house. Chardonnay for Suzanne. Justice for Suzanne.

Is it ok to say that every time I saw Attny Sean Connelly's name tweeted that I imagined Sean Connery sitting there? Lisp and all?

@LaurenScharfTV

The judge said he can find probable cause if there is not a body found like this case. There is a reasonable belief if the defendant MAY have committed the crime. Judge Patrick Murphy said he does see probable cause for First-degree murder & tampering with a deceased human body.

SOOOOO THANKFUL !!! SWEET JESUS YES !!! #justice4suzanne

I think he is mostly speaking to her girls.

good point @Gardenista

 

[roguelady]

Oh Barry,

Please come clean and own up to what you did. Don't put your precious girls and the Morphews through a long, drawn-out trial. For once, think of someone besides yourself.

@LaurenScharfTV

The judge is going over the evidence. Speaking about the doorframe photo that showed force entry. Text messages saying #SuzanneMorphew didn't feel safe alone with #BarryMorphew and said he was unstable. Showing that Morphew was capable of harming Suzanne.

Judge says it is relevant about #SuzanneMorphew fear for the prosecutions case. He says it was clear because she possibly thought about a restraining order. Judge says this makes it capable that #BarryMorphew could have harmed his wife.

Judge must have read all the great folk on our special websleuths and was convinced. imo

 

[DizzyB]

I know the Judge said the PH isn’t a mini trial, but he is doing a darned fine job of laying out the evidence against Barry right now.

 

[OldCop]

You get to add BM removing the trail camera's to the timeline! I love that we know that.

Oh, yeah!

I feel the judge is speaking directly to the girls, giving them much to think about!

 

[Alethea]

I haven't ever seen a Judge opine in this particular way. Anyone?

https://twitter.com/LaurenScharfTV/status/1438971183962132482

Judge said finding out that #SuzanneMorphew was having an affair gives him motive. Feeling of hurt, anger, jealousy, and desperation. It could lead someone who is typically normal to act differently like harm someone who has harmed him.

No I have never seen anything like it. He seems personally invested, which is understandable but unusual.

 

[LaineyJ]

If this thread was an in person party... I think we’d all be dancing and singing whatever song is playing.. what a wait for this moment

it’s not praying for his downfall when justice is coming to get him.

 

[LandManatee]

MOO IMO
Oh, that’s a plus that even the Judge believes BM was chasing SM around the house!
