I'll bet he knew most of it. This gives him even more motive IMO.

Agree but it must seriously dent his ego now it's being played out in public. Unless he just loves playing the victim.

Harris said that Suzanne and Libler were calling each other soul mates and were talking like lovers. Eytan asked if they had sent nude pictures to one another and Harris said yes.

May be that's why he destroyed the phones and closed the accounts. Once he admits to the affair everything else would be dug out by the FBI.He would have been caught up between doing the right thing in getting justice for Suzanne or getting Suzanne's name dragged through and losing her daughters' respect.

Suzanne’s “lover” Jeff has 6 children and a wife. Barry’s defense attorneys are painting a picture that Suzanne was deeply in love with Jeff, talking about marriage often and even about moving to Ecuador together where the cost of living and healthcare would be cheap

Lauren Scharf@LaurenScharfTV
Libler had told Suzanne allegedly that Ecuador is a cheap place to live with good healthcare. So on Dec. 9, 2019, Suzanne's iCloud account discovered that she was researching language schools in Ecuador.

Purely my opinion-Suzanne may have thought she finally found her knight in shining armor, that she was going to get a second chance at happiness. She went all in, giddy like a young girl in love for the first time. No idea whether this guy was a total chump.

The state objects to the relevance and the foundation of this information. The judge said we don't know the when but we know the what about the Ecuador research about the language school.

I think it's both of these things.

I don't think he cared about Suzanne's girls. I think he cared about his wife and the mother of his 6 children packing up and leaving him with a humungous child support bill.

Why would she do that?

She was driving?

 

[IceIce9]

In this link that kittythehare posted, it says that Jeff says, "You need to be my wife." So, I think that the feeling was mutual.

JMO.

But did he mean it? Or was he just speaking of how things would be in a perfect world? Did he ever seriously consider leaving his wife and family for her?

 

[LaineyJ]

So looking at the court docket it says today started at 8am - is that right? Then it lists as tomorrow starting at 9:30am...

curious as I’d like to make myself available for as much as I can.

Defense argues FBI hasn't interviewed anyone connected to man Suzanne was having an affair with, JL. Defense: Mr. L's daughter and brother knew about affair, but have never been interviewed by FBI. Defense appears to be introducing possibility of alternate suspects.

Wow. That’s going to create some tension if the daughter knew and didn’t tell the mom.

I'm glad they've objected to something. Sheesh

 

[kittythehare]

He didn’t love her?

Maybe he did, these emotional/erotic interludes may be love or not. (God, I'm hard)
I assume they were equal participants, they shared a fantasy, it may or may not have become a reality had she not been murdered and that , in turn may or may not have worked out. Seems to have been a lotta baggage on both sides. She died believing it was real and maybe she died happier as a result... who is to say?

 

[155etta]

Have we even heard Barry's name today? I've forgotten. MOO.

According to Harris, it was Libler that got Suzanne into mountain biking as well as drinking IPA. They talked like lovers together.

So SM took up mountain biking at JL's suggestion? Didn't Barry have a mountain bike? What prompted him to take up mountain biking (if he did)?

So he threw away the bike bought at the suggestion of JL and also threw SM away.

The thing is though unless he lives a very sheltered life there is no way he can't have known that this would eventually come out.

Libler didn’t believe that Barry Morphew knew about him. "If he knew about me, he would have came after me. I just don’t think he knew that Suzanne and I were together."

Was Suzanne's last chemo treatment supposed to be that Monday after Mother's Day? If so, perhaps, that's another reason that Barry acted that weekend. Maybe, he suspected that she was ready to leave when she was finished treatment. I still think the main motive is her money and the loss of it. Sort of like Fotis Dulos.

JMO.

 

[Cindizzi]

I worry about a potential juror viewing this as "poor Barry" ... all it takes is one who feels sorry for him. Hoping there are more meaty revelations in the successive days.
But kudos to Barry's attorneys, I feel like they successfully stalled day 1.

Please put Andy or Melinda on the stand to tell how BM called their elderly Dad 2 weeks after SM “disappeared “ and said “ I need you to sign some papers “. Ugh

 

[kshultz06082]

You are right - that information is not in MSM.

It is now... married with 6 kids... still only makes him a bad husband, not a murderer. Lots of bad husbands and wives don't kill their spouse. But some do. Jmo

Defense says Libler did not think #BarryMorphew knew that #SuzanneMorphew was seeing Libler. Libler told investigators that he believes Barry would've come after him if that were the case. @KKTV11News
