It's really starting to look bad!

Now the snow is really coming down here in Cripple Creek. Lots of local and national news media waiting to get inside the courthouse. #KelseyBearth

Ugh good luck driving back down that mountain when it is over. Hopefully because of this PF spotlight they took extra care of the roads.

Regarding pro bono lawyers vs. court-appointed lawyers:

Court-appointed lawyers, in my experience, are paid for by the State, hence the taxpayers. (I usually think of pro bono meaning a lawyer is offering his services for free.) Only indigent defendants qualify for them. If an individual can afford to pay for an attorney, he must hire his own.
This tells me that PF has no assets. His family’s assets would not be considered in this situation.

Defendants cannot choose a particular court-appointed lawyer. In some places, those lawyers are paid by the hour, a lower fee, and in other places (when there are public defender’s offices), they are paid a fixed salary.

Just sayin’

I live in very low-population county and in our area the public defender can stay on the case even if the defendant has funds -- the defendant pays as opposed to it being state- or county- funded, but the same atty stays on the case.

It might not be common, but I just saw this happen in a low-level case I was a witness for. Public defender stayed with the case even though defendant isn't broke.

I agree. I can’t believe one can get a farm there for such low cost. I need to move.

Take a look at the land in question. One couldn't farm on his parcel -- not level, probably wrong kind of soil. It's basically foothills forest land. I suspect it would be hard even to have much of a garden there without using raised beds and importing soil. JMO, of course.

It is indeed a nice piece of property for privacy purposes and for a few horses as he has, I agree. Just not for commercial production of livestock or crops. Again, JMO.

Okay. I never did really scope out the F land. I think the house & barn are adorable.

Storm is coming in, temp is plummeting. Windy and flurries now in North Denver. He is definitely freezing in short sleeve shirt.

From the article (BBM):

Prosecutors on Monday formally filed five counts of murder against the fiancé of missing Woodland Park mother Kelsey Berreth in Teller County District Court, including first degree murder, felony murder and solicitation to commit murder, officials say.

Patrick Frazee, 32, has an 8:30 a.m. hearing scheduled in the court house in Cripple Creek during which he will be formally arraigned on murder charges, said Lee Richards, spokeswoman for Teller County District Court.

He is charged with first-degree murder; three counts of solicitation to commit first-degree murder and first degree felony murder.

The charges indicate that authorities believe Frazee conspired with at least one other person to kill Berreth. The multiple solicitation charges suggest he engaged someone or multiple people to kill Berreth on three occasions.

Woodland Park Police Chief Miles De Young has said investigators recovered enough evidence at Berreth’s home to convince them that is where she was killed.

Court records indicate she was killed on Thanksgiving Day, but the arrest affidavit is sealed and few details are available about the evidence pointing to murder.
