BBM:In my opinion, this is a very biased statement from the judge. I don't like it at all. Suzanne's side of the family were essentially ignored. Round One - won by the Defense.
"The two, what I would consider, most significant victims of this matter are strongly supportive of Mr. Morphew's innocence and are strongly supportive of his release, and I do take that very seriously. Your opinion matters a great deal to me," Hopkins said to the daughters, who appeared in court to support the lower bond request".
It is my opinion that Barry might find it quite difficult to adhere to the bond requirements given he has continued to believe himself impervious to the law. I hope local LE keeps a close watch
RBBMI love that DA Kelly made reference to the fact that Barry hadn't worked at all the past 6 months he was living in Arizona.
All of that professed "hardworking, successful businessman" crap we were fed from the Barry Stans is a load of codswallop.
He's a born loser.
To quote Suzanne, "What was the young me thinking?"
Poor Suzanne.
So much betrayal, on so many levels.

Webster himself would struggle to find words that adequately express how inappropriate it is for a judge to make a statement like this in open court to the family of a person charged with murder.
It's actually horrifying.
Who is actually making sure that Barry follows these conditions of bond? The no drinking, no possessing firearms,etc.
Worked for him last time.it's not complete Sweet Freedom.
And it never will be again.
He's going down.
Every, Day, Is. Hell. Looking. Over. Your. Shoulder.
The bond deal stinks. He doesn't deserve to go home until trial.
I'm trying to find a sliver of a bright side. With the Libby and Abby case, the defendant RA garnered a ton of public and legal support due to (in some folks' minds) a perceived bias on the part of the judge against RA. Perhaps this new judge is taking a careful approach to avoid similar in the Morphew case.
With help from Barry's previous defense team playing fast and loose with facts, he managed to skate away before his case went to trial. Until now. Armed with far more evidence, and a better prosecution team, this time the case WILL get to a jury.
A jury will see through his charade.
There WILL be justice for Suzanne.

Zillow values Buck Dr at $377k. A 90% LTV home equity loan or line of credit would cover it.
For the first 2 or 3 years, I understood the family dynamic. Mom had gone missing and Dad was likely telling them that Mom was cheating on their family and was probably off partying with her boyfriend, etc.No witnesses but defense will make a statement. Both daughters present.
