You don’t need a link it is just how it works in the judicial system. He would receive it back minus any fees owed when the case was dismissed. There are several types of bail/bond. Morphew paid the $500,000 personally in its entirety.
The fact that there are no “remaining” charges at this time, ignores the fact that LE have substantial evidence in their possession and could come after him at any given moment. He is NOT truly free of the burden of Suzanne’s murder and when they come for him again the money will once again hemorrhage from his bank account. He’s not a bright bulb but he knows that much. As well, I don’t think for one minute that Denver PD are not keeping an eye on him if he indeed has moved to Denver. After some of the half truths and what I consider lies IE has put out there (MOO), I won’t believe he has actually moved to Denver until another source confirms it. MOO MOO MOO.
I guess moving to Denver isn’t going to make this go away??
New York!!!One of our attorneys estimated BM's defense costs between $300,000 - $500,000. So, he may have spent her entire inheritance defending himself against the charge that he murdered her. Regardless, he ended up financially better off because she has been successfully concealed. Because the law does not recognize her death, estate law does not apply and the question whether BM is eligible to inherit her share of their joint assets (because murderers cannot inherit) never arose. So IMO, he profited very substantially from his actions. If she is found, another legal scenario may play itself out.

"He knew that she wanted to vote and he thought that she might come back," said Iris Eytan, Morphew's attorney. "He didn’t know where she was. He was carrying out her wishes. What he did was he signed his name on the witness line, not concealing that it was him. He signed his signature on the witness line and he left the signature where she would normally sign blank. He did not make a mark there trying to deceive the clerk that by chance she had signed it. He did not sign or forge her name making it appear that she in fact signed it."

"He didn’t really intend to deceive, but what he did was make a mistake. He made a bad choice," Eytan said. "He didn’t think that he was doing anything against the law. When he received the ballot, he had legal guardianship over Suzanne. That means that he could sign property paperwork, tax paperwork, all sorts of documentation on her behalf. That was what was permitted by the courts."
Barry Morphew pleads guilty in election fraud case
Barry Morphew avoided jail time in the case related to accusations that he cast a ballot for his missing wife Suzanne in the 2020 election.www.9news.com
Actually not. I posted a link to Colorado 4th district voter fraud cases and sentences before yesterdays outcome. The sentence was not that unusual. People wanted him to get a more severe sentence but most judges tend to stick to the middle of the bell curve unless there are very unusual circumstances. This case was pretty cut and dried in my opinion.
I'm actually surprised it even went to a judge. He basically got the same thing a pretrial intervention would have amounted to here in FL. It's where a person with no record gets a year on probation and if they stay clean per the probation office the charge is dropped. Perhaps this is the equivalent there in CO.
I think there are differences in how states adjudicate. Colorado has a class 6 felony that is a misdemeanor in many states that might have 5 classes of felony. The states can be different for sure. Several have pointed out a woman in Texas who got a really stiff sentence that is going through appeals I think.
It’s clear that one of the reasons they moved from Indiana so quickly was because she wanted out of the marriage. I’m as sure as you are that Barry did love bomb her and promised he would change. As soon as they got to Colorado I think he let her know there would never be a divorce and he was in charge. I’m starting to see why Suzanne reached out to Jeff right after they arrived in Colorado. She had remembered their feelings when they were young. She likely felt safe with him. I’m sure she had to show Barry many “favors” to be allowed to take those trips she did.
Just wait -- it gets worse!!
If Murphy wasn't removed from the case, I have little doubt that Barry Morphew is sitting in prison right now. He would have kept things on track, and wouldn't have allowed Iris to railroad him with circular logic and lies.
