Iris Eytan has successfully represented several clients accused of murder in cases that resulted in their acquittal or the dismissal of their charges. Most recently, she represented Barry Morphew, the man accused of killing his wife, Suzanne Morphew, in May 2020.
Her defense led to the dismissal of a first-degree murder charge and revealed details of possible prosecutorial misconduct. Suzanne’s body has not been found, and no one has since been charged with her death.
Eytan pointed to Brian Walshe’s argument that his wife was leaving Massachusetts two days early to handle a work emergency in Washington, D.C. She questioned the validity of the claim and said, "that needs to be answered."
"Doesn't anybody have a question, like if this guy is so carefully plotting this?" she added. "Why is he leaving a bloody knife in the basement? Is it because the bloody knife has nothing to do with this, with her disappearance?"
Prosecutors have sealed the affidavit and other documents related to Walshe’s most recent charges. Eytan acknowledged that even prosecutors still don’t have all the information pertaining to the alleged crimes. She said she thought there were "holes" in prosecutors’ case so far.
"I’m not saying that he’s innocent and he’s not responsible, but I’m saying hold off on making any rash judgments," she said. "When they rush in, and they charge somebody with murder two weeks after the date of someone's disappearance, that's quick without having a body."
