Here’s the thing, imo I doubt the money $300k or more, if he still had that much to his name after paying his first high profile Attorney IE, was in any account in his name. He likely made sure of it just in case he was arrested again after Suzanne’s body was found which after said 2nd arrest, he wouldn’t have been able to declare and be considered indigent by the court if he had that much money in any account bearing his name.
) around giving or gifting it to other people imo family members’ namely his Mom or one or both of his daughters, or could have hidden/buried the cash somewhere (lol) and told a family member where it was when needed to bond him out. In either of those scenarios, it’s dishonest and shifty accounting practices to say the least and couldn’t be more clear to me he knew it was inevitable he’d be arrested again and planned on it by moving money around getting it out of his name or burying it so he could be declared indigent by the court. Whether this same money was used to pay or help pay the bondsman’s fee is anyone’s guess, I’d guess yes it was if his “friends and supporters” didn’t use their own money to bond him out.

I thought one of his bond conditions was that he wasn't allowed to leave home unless for medical or court related reasons.“As part of the stipulations of a pre-trial release, Hopkins told Morphew that he is to be monitored at all times with an ankle monitor and isn’t allowed to leave Colorado.”
^So, that’s it? He can roam freely around Colorado, stay wherever he wants, as long as GPS is on?

Barry Morphew has made bail and will be out of jail during his pre-trial preparations, he is not allowed to leave Colorado.
That’s what I thought too!

Barry Morphew has made bail and will be out of jail during his pre-trial preparations, he is not allowed to leave Colorado.
That could get costly!
His attorney, David Beller, said that supporters of Morphew pulled together the bond fee, about 10 percent of the $3 million bond set by the court. Beller declined to identify the supporters.
“They have asked to remain anonymous,” said Beller. “And that frankly is for their own safety, with all the vitriol that the case has brought and all the doxing.”

Once Morphew is released from jail, will begin paying for his own defense, said Beller. To this point, Morphew’s attorneys have been paid by the state, because a defendant is deemed indigent if they are in custody, Beller said.
“In Mr. Morphew’s case, between what little bit of assets he has as well as some supporters, he is going to be paying for his defense moving forward for as long as he and they are able to do so,” said Beller.

Posting a $3 million bond in a first-degree murder case is unusual, but not unheard of. Morphew is expected to be released once he is fitted with a GPS monitor and finds a place in Colorado to live.
So if he chooses to live in a van, is that his home / location?
This is such a great picture. I think it’s my most
“once he is fitted with a GPS monitor and finds a place in Colorado to live. He’ll be confined to his home, but can attend legal and medical appointments. And, if he can find employment, Morphew would be allowed to leave the home for work, after getting permission from the court.”His attorney, David Beller, said that supporters of Morphew pulled together the bond fee, about 10 percent of the $3 million bond set by the court.

It'll be speedy if he meets with his attorneys. I'm thinking more of, him "meeting with his attorneys". That what he'll say, if anybody asking.
He’s also forbidden alcohol and guns iirc from court. Honestly even if they find him sitting in a bar drinking shots of tekill-ya with a loaded rifle leaned up against the stool - the court would prob just say please don’t do that again.
Iiuc $300K unrefundable, then 2.7M up in collateral, if the bondsman requires it.
