He likes to intimidate weaker people. Thus his behavior towards Suzanne. Other males can see and sense his BS. He’s a Wannabe Alpha male. But, he’s a Beta. Content Betas are very kind to women. Betas who are Wannabe Alphas think they’re the thing, until they are confronted by a genuine Alpha. Can’t wait for his release into GenPop in prison. He’ll meet some genuine Alphas in their prime. Buckle up, buttercup!
They moved to CO. Suzanne made a good effort to start their marriage up again.
poor kid must be tortured inside. First her Mom gone, and then her only other parent.
I wonder if the defence will utilise the affair as part of it's defence?
I do think the affair gave her confidence and reassured her that Barry was the problem and she could leave him. I don't agree with affairs, but in this case, I do think the affair was giving her the voice to stand up to Barry. She had to be so low when her cancer returned and her husband wasn't even going with her to appointments, would belittle her and make her feel bad about taking medications she needed to get better, would tell her what she could and couldn't have in her system. Threatening to kill himself so she wouldn't leave him, putting a gun to his head, "accidently" hitting her, pushing up against her to keep her from leaving the room. She lived with that for how many years likely having her self-esteem slowly eroded away. People might see her affair and think he couldn't be that controlling if she was able to have an affair.. but he also left her alone a lot, he controlled the money and was manipulative. That can really mess up a person and add in cancer. I am glad she had someone in the last months of her life telling her she was beautiful and helping give her a voice. Because of that we have proof that Barry was shady and was up to some evil things.
How would they weave that in there without it coming off as them saying she had an affair so he murdered her?
The defense of provocation essentially requires an admission that the defendant assaulted or murdered the victim, but that he was provoked to the degree that he lost all self control in the moment he acted. It also requires the jury to believe that any reasonable person so outrageously provoked would lose control. If accepted by the jury, it could reduce the charge from First to Second degree murder - heat of passion murder. But it wouldn't keep Morphew out of prison.
IIRC, investigators were of the opinion that BM did not know about the affair until he was told. Can they walk back from that statement at this trial without evidence to support that BM did know?
Yes, but supposedly BM did not know about the affair before he was told by LE.
It was the opposite. The argument was that he did suspect, which is why we know about the incident in Mexico (or wherever it was).
Just to play devil's advocate, there is evidence yes that there were FB friend requests but no evidence so far "who" did this. Trail cameras are ubiquitous for people who own natural land acreage....some just because it's fascinating to see bears, cougars, bobcats, mountain lions in their natural habitat and for hunters to get to know the deer and elk and their movements for future hunts. There is no evidence yet in public public that backs up that trail cams were there to spy on Suzanne. The allegation that there was one in the home spying on Suzanne is also I do not believe proven (yet).
Have you read the DM article this afternoon that’s says Suzanne’s body was moved TWICE?
