My guess is this has to do with the BAM testing, the anthropological stuff, body movement, etc.

Good luck.

Yeah. These are completely normal motions that we'd expect to see. No doubt there will also be subsequent in limine hearings to try to restrict the ambit of such testimony.

The defence know if the BAM/Autopsy stuff comes in, a guilty verdict is inevitable.

Unless he's pleading guilty as charged, I sure hope it's not been vacated! His judgment day can't come soon enough.

No worries, Barry, you won't be wrongly convicted.

^Is it possible that he might, if his motions fail?

This line from the Mountain Mail article gave me a tiny bit of hope that he could offer a plea: “Kelly said there was nothing additional from the People that the court should be aware of, and said that communication with Morphew’s defense has been ‘very strong.’ “

Is an Alford plea an option? I am loathe to see that happen.

Man up. Be honest. For once.

I don't see why the state would let him plead down to anything that would be worth him giving up his longshot chances with jury

They had a good case without the body. The autopsy proves the BAM connection they already made for trial 1.

Barry is hosed.

To answer your question, yes, Alford plea is an option in Colorado. For further information, snipped from link BB&UBM:

“Colorado criminal law recognizes four specific types of pleas and rejects one. (this article does not address not guilty by reason of insanity).”

The four pleas are:
• a plea of not guilty
• a straight guilty plea
an Alford plea
• a plea of nolo contendere


***however, I find the following encouraging:

most Colorado state prosecutors will not plea bargain to an Alford plea and if they do most judges will not accept them.

“If an Alford plea is proposed by the defendant – and the DA agrees – and the judge is considering it – he or she will most often NOT ACCEPT an Alford plea without a very strong factual showing of guilt.”

“The reason Alford pleas are not favored by Colorado judges is because the defendant is trying to “have it both ways” – he is seeking to benefit from the plea but not accepting complete responsibility for the charged or plea bargained offense.”

“While they are rare – they most often occur when a defendant – after a thorough investigation – is convinced that the DA’s evidence is overwhelming.

I agree, he should just man up, be honest and plead guilty but considering this is BM we’re talking about, I don’t see a straight guilty plea from him in the cards.

At any rate, here’s to hoping DA Anne Kelly is not/will not be amenable/accepting of an Alford plea *if* Team BM offers one. 🤞

I would be ok with an Alford plea if it would guarantee a sentence that kept him behind bars for the rest of his life. He’s so dang squirrelly. A jury trial makes me nervous. Which is why he will likely not try to plea, even if the prosecution would entertain the offer. He will hold out hope for one hoodwinked juror.

I hear and agree with you my friend. IMO an Alford plea would be preferable versus a possible acquittal by Jury at trial, for sure.
If only we could see into the future, but I digress.


I’ve always been in the ‘BM would likely not ever cop to a plea’ camp, but imo one never knows/hard to predict when and/or if, possibly at the 11th hour, a defendant might get cold feet so to speak about taking their chances and going to trial. That said, as stated in my previous post, I do not *think* BM would ever plead straight up guilty. And *if* an Alford plea is offered by the DA or proposed by Team BM and accepted by the DA, and approved by the Judge, I don’t have much confidence that a harsh enough sentence would be handed down by the Judge in an Alford plea scenario.

Yep BM is squirrelly and imo most likely prefers to take his chances and go to trial hoping to hoodwink one juror as you say. It’s a risk, juries are a wild card and one never knows if one or more hold out juror(s) can be swayed, possible hung jury, mistrial etc. Another unpredictability. *sigh*

I will say that if the BAM is ruled admissible by the Judge, in conjunction with all the other damning evidence against him, (hoping all or most of it ruled admissible) and BM goes to trial as scheduled, as long as a common sense, reasonable, rational, logical Jury is seated, I do think BM is going to go down/most likely found guilty.

IMO and I think many others here agree, BM is guilty as sin and deserves to go to prison for the rest of his miserable life. IMO anything less is not fair to Suzanne nor justice, which is why if he goes to trial as scheduled, and by some fluke gets acquitted (God forbid), imo will be one of the biggest travesties of justice I’ve ever seen.

All that said, let’s hope Suzanne’s voice is heard loud and clear during judicial proceedings and BM is handed the sentence he deserves- LWOP, never to see the light of day again. 🤞

Question - Was the trial date of 10/13/26 deleted? vacated?

The October trial date does not appear as it falls outside of the 'docket search' parameter (6 months).

The parties have a Motions filing deadline on April 13, and the hearings on the pending Motions was long ago set for July 6-10.
 
  • #714


[…]

An eight-minute status conference was held March 30 for Barry Morphew with 12th Judicial District Court Chief Judge Amanda Hopkins.

There was no hearing held regarding the release of the late Suzanne Morphew’s remains to her children, Macy and Mallory Morphew, as requested during the March 9 status conference. Court records indicate they dropped their request on March 26.

During the March 30 conference, Hopkins heard from David Beller, representing Morphew, and 12th Judicial District Attorney Anne Kelly.

Beller said he anticipates being able to file motions in advance of April 13. He advised the court that the defense is anticipating filing Shreck motions relating to experts. In other states, Shreck motions are called Daubert motions. According to Thomson Reuters practical law, Daubert motions are “a type of motion which seeks to exclude the presentation of an expert’s testimony to a jury.”

IMO, I’ve little doubt that one potential D Shreck motion submitted will request exclusion of imo one of the state’s strongest witnesses aka BAM expert witness.

To add/elaborate on my speculation, considering DB recently stated that the BAM testing doesn’t hold up scientifically (link posted upthread), I wouldn’t be shocked one bit if the D motions to exclude said state’s expert. IMO par for the course, typical D strategy. Pfftttt.. just because BM’s defense attorney says the BAM testing is unreliable, doesn’t make it so.

IMO Team BM absolutely knows how damning the evidence, especially the BAM is to their case and throwing mud at the wall to see what sticks, similar to their predecessor IE.

At any rate, I trust the state/AK will be well prepared/ready to argue vigorously against exclusion of their BAM expert witness. Their testimony is obvs important to state’s case, imo proverbial nail in BM’s coffin and to put it in another, more blunt way, imo the state will fight like he!! to allow their expert witness testimony to be heard/presented to the jury.

At any rate, we’ll see how it goes after motions are submitted to the court.

Tick Tock…

Brandi Veltri is a Chaffee County coroner.

Not sure about Rebecca Burroughs Hauser, but maybe LE. She was on the old case's witness list too. The redaction is of her address, which it looks like they tried to also redact for Veltri but didn't complete. moo

I did some research, didn’t find Rebecca Burroughs Hauser in LE,
but did find website for an HCC Construction Company, Custom Homes and Commercial Builders located in Salida, Colorado.
Of note, Rebecca Hauser is listed as the Owner/CEO/Project Manager of HCC Custom Homes and Commercial Builders.
This was the only Rebecca Hauser I could find in the Maysville/Salida area. Though Burroughs isn’t listed in middle of name, I think the witness might be Rebecca Hauser of HCC, considering her field. (I couldn’t find anything for a RBH online).

Anyway, I had some food for thoughts/rhetorical questions:
  • BM owned/worked at iirc Sunset Farms Landscaping and Contracting Company. Might BM have contracted with RH/HCC builders to do the landscaping at some of their custom homes and commercial buildings?
  • BM had purchased a parcel of land in Salida (sold it after Suzanne reported “missing”), to reportedly potentially build a house for his Mother on said land. (land was searched by cadaver dogs in the early days). Might BM have contracted with RH/HCC to build home on said land? 🤔
  • BM had a skid steer/bobcat and other landscaping/construction tools used in his work. Might BM have used his bobcat and tools at one of RH/HCC’s building sites where perhaps other construction vehicles were left onsite that BM had access to? 🤔
If any of the above were the case,
I can see why Rebecca Hauser is on the witness list.
