In my head I keep going back and forth with this.

On the one hand, you're right that Murphy works very hard to assure there are no easy avenues for appeal. If that's his overriding priority, he'll do what he did in SD's trespassing case and recuse himself and ask Chief Justice Boatright to appoint another murder-qualified judge.

RSBM

It's easy to overlook a key point here. This is a pretrial application. Therefore if the Judge declines to recuse, then the defence can appeal that procedural point pretrial.

It is not necessarily the case this creates a grounds for appeal after the trial, if the matter was already argued and resolved before the trial starts - which is what I would expect.

And I have racked my brain in an effort to come up with a way that a pro-defense bias or a pro-SD bias - which are the only biases that arise from his relationship with defense counsel - could result in harm to BM's rights. Nothing occurs to me. If there's no potential harm to BM's rights, to me there's no appealable issue for him.

Murphy has given mixed signals to those of us who read tea leaves in an effort to prognosticate about this. He said, upon hearing that SD would likely be called as a witness in BM's trial, "That's all I need to know." - signaling that this fact would decide the case in favor of the motion to recuse. But in his written decision, he disagreed with the defense's argument that the mere filling of the motion compelled him to remove himself, and he described BM's argument as "novel" - suggesting that he might reject it, too.

Whatever else he might be, Judge Murphy is his own man. I am glad he has given himself time to study the law and weigh his options.

I wonder if judges have independent ethics counsel with whom they can discuss these issues? Does anyone know?

BIB

All the judge was saying is that if the prosecution was not calling this witness, then he could dismiss the motion immediately.

The novel argument relates to the point I made up thread. The Judge's relationship with the firm is grounds for recusal where the firm is acting for the defendant in a criminal matter. That's clear.

But where the firm acts only for a witness, the attorneys have no official role at trial - so does any potential conflict arise? The judge is saying he has never heard of such a basis for recusal before, and wonders if this has arisen previously in any decided case.

I am guessing it is "novel" - i.e new, because no one has ever tried to make this argument before
 
More than likely he did just that. Long ago, there were posts here at WS with that exact scenario.
I know that the concept of kids estranged from their parents in dysfunctional families exists but this was a close knit family so it is no surprise to me the kids are standing by their remaining parent. I would not have expected otherwise.
 
Maybe he convinced them that whatever 'happened' would have been judged by LE as possible murder and convinced them to support his contrived story as a cover. MOO

IMO, he had to come up with something to explain Suzanne's absence. As I posted earlier, there are posts here from long ago stating he would say LE would blame him for Suzanne's murder.
 
Of course he would say LE would blame him. And perhaps how LE interviewed the kids aligned with that idea so LE could have inadvertently or intentionally supported that idea in their minds when doing the interviews and bolstered their support. And especially if it was very early in the investigation. I can easily imagine that type of scenario.
 
Dropping the timeline here again. Probably still has a couple of typos and question marks. It's not complete. If you see a glaring error, let me know. Remember there are a number of inconsistencies in the AA. I have corrected for them as best I can based on all of the information.

I know that the concept of kids estranged from their parents in dysfunctional families exists but this was a close knit family so it is no surprise to me the kids are standing by their remaining parent. I would not have expected otherwise.
This family was about as dysfunctional they come. One person controlling and manipulating the other three with fear and threats is not close knit.

It's easy to overlook a key point here. This is a pretrial application. Therefore if the Judge declines to recuse, then the defence can appeal that procedural point pretrial.

It is not necessarily the case this creates a grounds for appeal after the trial, if the matter was already argued and resolved before the trial starts - which is what I would expect.
BBM. I looked for a procedure under which BM could appeal immediately the judge's refusal to recuse himself. I found Rule 4.1 Interlocutory appeals in criminal cases, which gives the prosecution the right to appeal before trial specified rulings, including the suppression of evidence. Refusal to recuse is not listed, and the rule does not give the defendant any right to an appeal before trial.

I suppose BM could try an original proceeding under Colorado Rule of Appellate Procedure 21, but the Supreme Court has sole discretion to grant these and my lawyer friends say these petitions are rarely even accepted for review.

So, it seems to me doubtful that BM will be able to appeal and delay the trial if Judge Murphy declines to recuse himself.
 
I know that the concept of kids estranged from their parents in dysfunctional families exists but this was a close knit family so it is no surprise to me the kids are standing by their remaining parent. I would not have expected otherwise.

Many dysfunctional families are very close knit. It is often that very dysfunction that keeps them so “close”. My sense is that what we are witnessing here is a form of enmeshment between parent and child.

Thank you so much for this timeline! This compelling information will be communicated to the jury during closing arguments, leaving little room for reasonable doubt.

Assuming SM's "50 reasons" list is admitted into evidence, this says it all: Not safe alone with you. Can’t be trusted ...
 
Hi all, just wanted to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and hope you all have a lovely time with those you hold near and dear.
May 2022 bring you all happiness and good health.

Q (Nielsen): This Apple authentication event was a number Barry had saved on his phone as AG, correct?
A (Grusing): That's what's in the CAST report.

Q (Nielsen): And you've reviewed the CAST report and spoke to Agent Hoyland, correct?
