Had he tried to injury himself ? What is the mark on his throat and above his eye brow?

About time his crimes come home to roost.

 

[Diddian]

The same question arises when a course of criminal conduct begins in one state and continues or ends in another, and the answer is that multiple states (and the United States) may have subject matter jurisdiction (authority to deal with the case). One key consideration is whether any part of the criminal conduct occurred in the governed territory. Here is Colorado Revised Statutes Section 18-1-201, which speaks to this issue at the state level.

Within the state, similar factors apply among judicial districts. Within a judicial district, a similar issue of "venue" (which forum) may arise, and again, more than one venue may be proper.

Jurisdiction and venue are certainly appropriate in Alamosa County. I suppose Morphew could move to challenge it, but he'd have to give the judge a compelling reason to transfer the case.

Thank you for providing the statutes relating to the issue at the state level. I would like to see similar with respect to appropriate venue choice from among judicial districts within the state.

As I understand the thinking in general, the presumption that murder occurs in the jurisdiction where the remains are found is high, EXCEPT where circumstantial evidence strongly points to the murder occurring in another jurisdiction. I think it unlikely we are going to hear from BM or his attorneys suggesting that the murder occurred in Chaffee County so the case should be tried there, UNLESS they plan to resort to the SODDI defense along with the idea that the abductor/murderer attempted to frame BM using BAM (a substance not widely available). And in that case, the defense team would have to have some solid evidence pointing to a specific SOD who DI.

I could generally see an alternate venue being assigned when the defendant moves for such and is able to provide adequate reasoning to support that move to protect the defendant's rights (some kind of conflict or bias in the original venue, excessive media attention impacting a jury pool, etc), but it seems odd to me that the law would permit the state to use the "presumption of murder where body found" principle to "venue shop" so they could select a venue where prosecutions tend to be more successful (perhaps indicating judges or juries are more prosecution-friendly there, or the district attorney's office is more generously funded or more competently staffed, or less subject to serious internal disputes within the district attorney's office).

Don't get me wrong; I want to see BM convicted and imprisoned. And I also wouldn't mind seeing if judges in Alamosa County are superior to those we've already observed in Chaffee County - who left much to be desired IMO. I just don't want venue selection to be an issue driving successful appeal of a guilty verdict. When that iron door slams shut, I want it to stay shut.

Wish we had someone who could be there. Will it be live-streamed?

 

[Megnut]

1st appearance in court tomorrow for the 1st degree murder of his wife Suzanne five years ago.

When he could have gone to divorce court like a civilized human being.

How much damage this one man has caused, all to protect his ego.

It's time for him to face what he's done.

Oopsie
looks like a little slip and fall in the prison shower
and BM got a little “ booboo” above his eye brow
This is a man who knows he is trapped
Most say he won’t kill himself but
I would not give him the opportunity
Bc he just might take it

May no one give him that opportunity.

May the jail/prison system provide great care and protection to secure his life.

Which is more than we can say for how he treated his wife.

Oh no, a boo-boo..

When I just did an inmate search for BM on Maricopa County Sheriff's Office I

Barry has been extradited to Colorado booked at 1:30 pm today!!
First court appearance Tuesday at 1:30 Denver7 is reporting.

Barry Morphew extradited to Colorado after arrest in Arizona in connection with wife's 2020 death

Barry Morphew, who was arrested earlier this month in Arizona after he was indicted for murder in the wake of his wife's May 2020 death, has been extradited to Colorado and is currently in jail.

Buh Bye Barry, your karma has finally caught up with you..Karma is a patient gangster!

Nothing in Alamosa

Had he tried to injury himself ? What is the mark on his throat and above his eye brow?

Fascinating!!! Good catch on the neck bruising! WOW! My first thought when I saw the blood on his forehead was poor BM hit his head getting into the transport vehicle (my assumption only that he was transported by car or van) to CO. But the bruising in the center and linear bruising along the side of the neck? Hmmmmm? Maybe he got roughed up in Maricopa County. We can only hope. ALL JMO

IF he really believes in the afterlife, he won’t kill himself. He faces judgment more sure than any he faces here. But IF he believed, he wouldn’t have committed this crime.
IMO.

No worries.

It appears that the 12th Judicial District also keeps an open bench for a "visiting judge" to supplement four district court judges.

We know that Judge Patrick Murphy retired on 12/31/24 but is doing legal research for the Court. I doubt SD is still being represented by IE's umbrella of legal friends who would force a 'borrowed' Murphy to opt-out and/or recuse himself if asked to hear this case.

After 30 years of service, Judge Patrick Murphy retires

After serving the Chaffee County courts for 30 years, 11th Judicial District Chief Judge Patrick Murphy is retiring Dec. 31.

Anyone think he will take a plea like Kohburger just did?
