Maybe - I have to wonder if doing so would delay a right to speedy trial? But I would imagine defense wants everything they can get from the grand jury. And I'm wondering if in this trial it makes more sense to go for the speedy trial or waive the right.

Indictment by GJ does not impede a defendant's right to a speedy trial! Rule 16- Discovery is not abandoned.

Prosecutors must turn over such information within 21 days after your arraignment (though grand jury materials can be provided within 35 days after the indictment).

I wonder if Lee Moore had any IDs.

Maybe Barry Morphew never planned to duck out of the US but Lee Moore did.

Alas, that is forever dashed.

Sorry, not sorry.

Note the "nation wide extradition" clause in the paragraph below.

We really need a vomit emoji . Maybe Tricia will let us have one for the trial.
We do have the basic one. If you click on the 3 dots in the post header and then the smiley-face emoji in the dropdown that appears, you can type in "vomit" or "sick" and this pops up: 🤮

It would be even better to have an animated projectile one, though, for the worst of the worst, like Barry.

I wonder if LE found a passport in the Lee Moore name, or other ID?

I am sure he got schooled by his first defense team how to act and react along the way. He knows now his biggest mistake was not shelling out the money for an attorney shortly after Suzanne disappeared and LE started stopping for "chats".
I'm sorry, but that seems so moot to me now. Because his biggest mistake was actually killing her. 😔

I cannot think that Barry would want a speedy trial. I imagine he would want as many disruptions and time before the jury give their guilty verdict and he is locked up in jail.

Lest anyone believe Iris Eytan has totally abandoned Morphew, she has been quoted in the Denver Post:

"Morphew's attorney in the first case, Iris Eytan, said she would support his new lawyers to 'sustain his rightful innocence.'

"I've handled thousands of cases, and I've never seen prosecutors mishandle a case so recklessly,' Eytan said Friday. 'This case was fumbled so terribly, three prosecutors were penalized. After Barry's case was rightfully dismissed, I dedicated the second half of my career to ensure what happened to Barry doesn't happen to another innocent person. This and this alone is the only reason I'm not representing Barry today.'"
Lol. She can't help herself but misrepresent the truth. She makes it sound like the judge decided to dismiss the case, as opposed to the state deciding to do that on their own.

His biggest mistake was not recognizing that SM was not obligated by law or by conscience to stay married to him.
Yes exactly.
If I remember right, he pulled up so far into the drive way, put his phone on airplane mode, stalked around the back of the house, stalked her like an animal.

Didn't this take the cake! This was when we all knew he was 100 percent Guilty

Has anyone posted the Tyson Draper vid yet where he happens upon BM by Puma?
Shirley looking pleased as a school girl to be riding shotgun with her baby boy in the red truck

I had hoped he would be back in Colorado by now -
I am anxiously awaiting his arrival so thngs can get moving

I wondered the same but then would Arizona not charge him with something like having false documents?

So, she consumed a substance with caffeine.

Pffft.

I take Splenda in my coffee daily; that's a "substance".

And Suzanne could have been taking maintenance drugs to prevent cancer.

Really, can't the Defense come up with something better than this?!

JMVHO.
The coffee came up because there was a half full cup of coffee on the kitchen counter in the Morphew home. It got discussed back in the beginning because of the timing.....so -- was the half drunk cup of coffee from Friday or Saturday or Sunday. I also don't believe it got tested for drugs or dna. But it's been quite a few years and people were speculating whether a drug could have been put in the coffee that rendered her unconscious hence no signs of murder in the home. Also Suzanne apparently was a "tidy" person so a half drunk cup of coffee sitting on the counter over time and not emptied and in the dishwasher was an oddity. So yes, defense brought it up because they would position that Suzanne was drinking coffee on Mother's Day morning and that caffeine in her remains showed that it was one of the last things consumed.

Actually, someone from LE mentioned that a mt. lion had been reported by the lake. Of course, Barry jumped all over it and repeated it over and over again.

It was never proven in the first preliminary how the needle sheath came into play. It was not a needle sheath from the darts and it had Suzanne and a daughter's dna on it. If the needle sheath comes into this trial there will need to be more from the prosecution and there will be vigorous defense I think. LE did not find it when the dryer was emptied and found in on a return trip and that was something the original defense attacked in the first preliminary so there is a potential issue for prosecution along with the DNA. I remember thinking there was never any information in the preliminary regarding any prescriptions or injections that would have been in the house from Suzanne's chemo treatments other than information that she had finished a course of treatment and was currently in remission shortly before she disappeared. The gun that fired the darts which did not use the sheath type found in the dryer was also deemed inoperable by the original LE team. There was no other gun seized at the home that "could" fire the type of darts that Barry had. I obviously have zero idea what prosecution or defense might use in this trial. Just responding the mention of the "cap in the dryer with Barry's shorts"....and that they had removed the sheets and shorts and whatever else was in the dryer and on a return trip discovered the needle sheath.
I only read the first few lines of your post.
Just the fact that there is even a needle sheath in the dryer is a huge red flag. A sheath that fits bam darts.

And it didn't have Suzanne and a daughter's dna on it. It was confirmed the cap was tested for dna and Barry's dna was not a match. Washing with hot water and strong detergents can significantly degrade dna, reducing the likelihood of its detection.

And if he was innocent, why did BM allegedly ask investigators about immunity during an interview that spring?

You may be correct - I did not recall that the sheath fit the "darts"...I recall the opposite that it was not a sheath that fit the darts. But for sure, if prosecution brings up the sheath in the dryer we'll hear more than we heard in the preliminary.

I too get thoughts like this. I also think he did something with the backhoe, just before he executed his plan for her murder.

Remember how we were discussing that he could have dug holes (and didn't he buy some trees that he said he was going to plant but didn't? Something like that). Anyway I'm hoping someone else remembers. But there had to be a reason for him to swap out the Bobcat scoop.

Could he have dug a hole somewhere on the back side of their property, smoothed the dirt over but left it to cover the cooler? The cooler would behave a lot like a barrel and chemicals could be put into it.

We're not allowed to cuss here (which is a good thing) or I would.

Yes, chemical(s) is exactly what I think he did. He knew what to with antler and animal bones to bleach them out.

Funny how they use the caffeine to 'prove' she had coffee on mothers's day (not ).... also the autopsy 'confirmed' she put her bike clothes on ( not )... She was on a bike ride ride ( in a place she never rode ).... but the tranquilizer found in her bones is " allegedly".... what a total goat-rope the defense team turned out to be.... LOL....smh

"Barry Morphew is innocent and he could not have killed his wife," said Jane Fisher-Byrialsen, one of Barry's attorneys. "She got up the morning of Mother's Day, had her cup of coffee, that is now confirmed with the autopsy report. Also confirmed with the autopsy report is that she put on her bike clothes. She was on a bike ride and abducted. The tranquilizer that was found in her bones, allegedly, is a very common animal tranquilizer that could be used on farms or by hunters, which are people who are very prevalent in that area of Salida."

IIRC I thought they said the cap in the dryer was not from the BAM needle.
Investigators found:
empty darts
a dart package from a safe
a dart needle
a needle cap (sheath) for one of those darts in the Morphews' dryer.

If the forensic anthropologist could determine that the BAM had begun to metabolize, I suspect they'd be able to give a solid expert opinion on how long the BAM may have been in her system to metabolize to that point, but no further.

The ME associated the BAM and death as well.

I don't think there's a case for captivity beyond the hours she may have been sedated while in Barry's company... and he said he was home all afternoon and evening. It was a great day. No drinking, the one plate steak, the sex.

Guessing the BAM itself exposes the general time of death.

JMO
Hey does anyone remember when he said she was on the bed, with no clothes and snoring?? I remember something like that.
