CO - BARRY ARRESTED AGAIN - Suzanne Morphew, 49, Chaffee Co, 10 May 2020 *Case dismissed w/o prejudice* *found in 2023* #118

[Momofthreeboys]

So you believe that the trial will be kept to essential facts and that Barry will quite quickly be found guilty.

I didn’t say that but am hoping it goes to trial quickly. I don’t ever, ever think I have tried to second guess a jury in my life even if fence sitting is an unpopular position.

David Beller is also representing Robert Werking, the defense attorney who was representing James Craig in the poisoning death of his wife, Angela. Mr. Werking withdrew from the defense team last week and was charged today with felony arson.
Mr. Werking allegedly set fire to the home he shared with his wife, Lisa Fine Moses, who is continuing as James Craig's defense (jury selection starts Thursday).

What a wicked web we weave...
It will keep David Beller busy for awhile!

Former attorney for Aurora dentist in high-profile murder case charged with arson of his own home - Former attorney for Aurora dentist in high-profile murder case charged with arson of his own home

Wow, that's wild.

If Werking is an attorney, he likely has deeper pockets than the Stardust Trailer Park's most famous resident. So if Beller decides he can't juggle both cases at once, Barry's going to be the one who gets dropped like a hot potato.

Not to worry, though. He'll still have Jane in his corner, vigorously arguing in her broken English her even more broken case defense.

JMO.

The eldest is a chip off the ol' block(head), if you ask me.

I'm no fan of George, but I don't believe for one red hot, skinny minute that he ever told her that.

If anybody told her that, it was Daddy Dearest.
Or she made it up herself.
Or Jane made it up.

Jane has quite the fertile imagination, as we've all come to discover.

JMO.

May even be a case of Daddy telling her “hey guess what mom told me about George, what he did and said to her. Can you believe that?”

MOO

That's exactly what I think.

I have an even easier time picturing Daddy looking at her with his fake sad emoji face saying something along the lines of:

"Honey, I hate to tell you this, but I think you have a right to know. George told me about this one time your mom followed him into the men's restroom and hit on him. Please don't get angry at her for it, though. She was probably drunk at the time, you know how she always drank even though I urged her not to. Point being, if she hit on George, she probably hit on other guys, too, and your mom unfortunately ending up hitting on the wrong guy and he ended up killing her. It's not her fault, though, she didn't deserve to be killed, she just made a mistake, just like we all make mistakes. (Insert fake sad face emoji). If God can forgive her, so should we."

This is exactly the type of thing he'd say.

Cluster B all the way.

BAM is the key piece of evidence linking him to this crime, even if all the other evidence is thrown out.

He admitted to owning it, to having it present in the home, to understanding how to administer and reverse it, and in my mind he confessed to discarding it on his way to Bloomfield. Evidence of recent usage of the means-to-administer (a needle sheath) was present in the laundry. There is also evidence of a struggle in the home (broken door frame). What a set of coincidences. He is the most likely person to have administered BAM, beyond any reasonable doubt.

However, I think Barry has a very good chance of beating a conviction based on the Karen Read defense model. In that case there was digital evidence, physical evidence, and DNA evidence of a car accident but the jury was persuaded that no collision occurred because any trust jurors had in the system was destroyed due investigator misconduct.

It has been very easy for Barry and his attorneys to do the same thing here. They have seeded the community with doubt about this investigation, both the conduct of the former prosecutor and the prior dismissal of the case won't help. The area where he will be tried has a natural pre-disposition not to trust the government. Jurors may disregard the evidence entirely.

You are going to see a very similar template in the defense plan here. That the investigation is fatally flawed and every gap in the data is an opening for a conspiracy and rush to judgement.

From the above post :
“In that case there was digital evidence, physical evidence, and DNA evidence of a car accident but the jury was persuaded that no collision occurred because any trust jurors had in the system was destroyed due investigator misconduct.”

I think we must have watched different trials and listened to different jurors interviews ! Yes there was corruption in the ranks of LE but there was also was no evidence of a collision.

- Digital evidence ? showed John still alive after the Prosecution put his time of death
- Physical evidence? - John’s injuries per all the medical peeps were inconsistent with a collision. Looking at his arm injuries it was pretty obvious those were done by a dog.
The scraps of taillight scattered around where the body was found kept appearing for weeks - 47 pieces in all - but none found in the original search that morning when they cleared the area with that leaf blower. There were extra pieces lol
- DNA evidence of a car accident? I honestly don’t recall any
And perhaps the biggest piece of the puzzle - ARCCA the accident reconstructionist hired by the fbi - not the defense - came to the conclusion that John’s injuries were not the result of being hit by a vehicle.

There was no evidence of a collusion.

So not so similar.

If they want to claim “egregious” prosecutor malfeasance - well Linda is long gone. And btw so is Iris. How long can you beat a dead horse.

Iirc Iris’ strategy was to hammer the “rogue” dna, to paint the victim as an ungodly woman involved in a scandalous affair, and bury the understaffed DA’s office in paper. And then they had the Iris factor. Love her or hate her she could command a room and garner attention and headlines.

New ballgame. New prosecutor and resources. Mostly new LE. New Defense, new evidence. It’s no longer a no body case.

I heard maybe the defense would try to float it happened during the autopsy. The bam was put into the bone then. Totally ridiculous and I imagine they film/ record those autopsies.

But.. Let them. I see nothing but a guilty verdict this time.

[waldojabba]

In Jane’s interview I was also interested to hear that there was not just one PI that Iris hired but there were two on the payroll.

Two PI’s and they could not uncover the real killer?

- oh my. When your own people cannot come up with an alternate suspect, how do you fault LE for not finding anybody?

Per Google translate, "Min kamp" translated to German is "Mein Kampf."

"Mein Kampf."

I mean, REALLY?????

“Min” and “kamp” are common words in Danish. Danish is related to German so often words look similar with similar meanings. “My fight,” “my struggle.” The full title of her book is “My Fight For Justice.”

I've been wanting to, but now I can officially say JFB is literally Hitler!

No. Literally and figuratively, no.

Notably absent on the alternate perp list in People v Morphew I was George Davis. Makes me go Hmmmm.

Here is an early video with Lauren Scharf recounting her conversation with George -

 

[Tragg]

Beller is an excellent defense attorney with a firm of 20 or so lawyers plus support staff. He is quite capable of handling more than one case at a time.

But even the best can't get a client acquitted when the weight of the evidence is against him.

Beller's first high profile case was Willie Clark, who was among those accused of the drive-by killing of Denver Broncos cornerback Darrent Williams and the shooting of state witness Kalonnian Clark —no relation — in her home, days before she was to testify against Willie Clark’s gang boss, Brian Hicks.

Clark was convicted in both cases and will spend the rest of his life in prison.

Beller did persuade the DA not to pursue the death penalty. That was his "win" for Clark.

was GD on any witness list or did we not get that far?

 

[Momofthreeboys]

The prosecution had a huge long long list at some point in the very early days that had every possible exhaustive name you could imagine and a whole bunch redacted on it but in general the case didn't get very far and I personally never took that list very seriously.

I would love to know what George thinks now.

Jane is trying hard to put BAM in everybody's hands. And yet, it's Barry who had access to it, it's Barry who thinks he might have disposed of it, that very weekend.

Try again, Jane.

The only thing I could find in Google AI when asked the question Drugs that would test similar in a drug test to Butorphanol, Azaperone, Medetomidine

It's a huge hurdle, but you never know what's going to come up in a trial.

Butorphanol

• Butorphanol is an opioid agonist-antagonist. Standard drug screenings that target opioids may detect Butorphanol.
• It shares a similar mechanism of action with nalbuphine, both acting as opioid mu receptor antagonists and kappa agonists. Therefore, nalbuphine might also be detected in drug tests that target Butorphanol.

Azaperone

• Azaperone is a butyrophenone tranquilizer. There are no specific antagonists for acepromazine, another drug in the same class, but its presence might be detected in urine.
• Azaperone's metabolite, dihydroazaperone, can be identified in urine.
• While there are no specific substances mentioned to directly cause false positives for azaperone, drugs structurally similar to butyrophenone tranquilizers could potentially show some cross-reactivity in immunoassay-based drug screenings.

Medetomidine

• Medetomidine is an alpha-2 adrenergic agonist.
• Although it shares similarities with xylazine, another alpha-2 agonist, commercially available drug tests for medetomidine are limited.
• Medetomidine was found in the illicit drug supply along with xylazine, fentanyl, and other illicit opioids in some areas. This suggests that individuals using illicit opioids might test positive for other substances, including medetomidine, if using samples contaminated with the drug.
• Medetomidine has minimal cross-reactivity with xylazine immunoassay test strips, implying they wouldn't likely cause false positives for each other.
• Currently, advanced laboratory techniques like LC-MS/MS are needed to detect medetomidine, as standard urine drug screens don't typically include it in their panel.

Important note

• Immunoassays, often used in initial drug screenings, can exhibit cross-reactivity, leading to potential false positives or negatives.
• Confirmatory testing, like Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS), is considered the gold standard for accurate identification and quantification of drugs and their metabolites.

I am finally chiming in on the current thread, though I've been reading posts since BM was re-arrested and was an occasional commenter during the original investigation. Thank you to everyone who has posted articles, links, summaries of hearings, etc.

I read through this article on JFB: JFB article in femina

So, dovetailing with previous Websleuths comments, it seems that she is focused on improper conduct by law enforcement, the prosecution, etc. She also believes in what I'm calling "holistic defense", that is, seeking out sentences based on the crime committed, yes, but also in view of the husband/father/employer/volunteer aspect of the accused, in this case BM.

This suggests to me that the defense will try to undermine evidence, by saying it was improperly obtained or some other technicality.

I don't think I've said anything new here, but I wanted to summarize for myself where I think the defense will go and where the prosecution needs to be prepared. It seems like DA Kelly and her team are off to a good start.

I didn’t say that but am hoping it goes to trial quickly. I don’t ever, ever think I have tried to second guess a jury in my life even if fence sitting is an unpopular position.

Can you please explain more about how having an opinion is the same as second-guessing a jury?
