Barry Morphew walking out of court, a free man.

I honestly see two skipping happy girlies and a man hanging his head low looking troubled.

When the request for dismissal without prejudice was read, @inkywoman said the tension was so high, a service dog whined.

That's what innocence looks like," defense attorney Iris Eytan said as she left court with Barry Morphew after the murder case against him was dismissed today in Fremont County.

No, Iris, that is what the case was dismissed without prejudice looks like. Not innocence. BIG difference.

I notice innocent Barry had nothing to say about his wife being found and his name finally cleared

I can only imagine the fear in the witnesses at this moment.

She won't dump him until his money is gone.

One of my questions is how much over his original retainer he has gone (I believe he spent that retainer plus some in all these legal maneuvers - and from his point of view, today, it truly paid off). But I don't think he spent a mere $500,000. At least $700,000. But even if the lawyers did all this work for a measly $500,000, my question is whether he will keep them on a retainer (probably not).

So, if charges are refiled, he'll have to fork over another $500,000 to go through another set of pre-trial motions. And it will cost more than this time did (another change of venue motion, more motions to dismiss evidence, a different AA for the re-arrest to read, etc).

And that refiling can be done at any point in his life, by any future DA of Chaffee County. New evidence is almost certain to appear, as it usually does in these cases. A new judge will look at the new arrest affadavit and make a ruling, and none of us knows how much "new information" would be needed to refile. I have a hunch that there are facts that haven't yet been placed into play, in this case, which will come in handy for a future prosecutor, if that prosecutor is eager and organized.

One can only hope she (IE) will get met by two shady guys to collect what is owed to her for services rendered. moo

I do so hope that Suzanne's body has been found. What a miracle that would be, imo.

 

[Megnut]

Seriously. What else could've happened to Suzanne? She's not in Ecuador. She's not with JL.

She just evaporated?

If she evaporated, it wasn't IMO without the aid of landscaping chemicals.

“The prosecution was manufacturing a murder case. Prosecutorial misconduct has never been seen to this degree in my 30 year career,” Eytan says

I asked DA Linda Stanley if I could ask her some questions about the decision to dismiss charges, she walked by me and said “no”

I honestly see two skipping happy girlies and a man hanging his head low looking troubled.

Yeah he's def not floating on air. Probably thinking about if they know where she is or if they are bluffing. He's free to move now. My guess is he leaves the country and goes somewhere with no extradition if he can afford it.

We all did!

Should Barry be doing an interview about how he is so hoping SM will finally be found?

... beginning with "Oh, Suzanne"? Yes, I want to hear.

 

[Love Never Fails]

Can you imagine if Suzanne’s body is actually found? Will Barry and his girls actually have a press conference saying how happy they are that she can receive a decent burial and Rest In Peace? Will they ask DA Stanley to find the murderer?
I mean, they all act as if she went on a vacation and is returning soon. How will Mallory and Macy react a body being found? Did a mountain lion hide it intact? Did an abductor bother to dig a grave?

Ok, Spezze knows Barry is guilty. We all do.

I agree. Not only found, but found with physical evidence pointing directly at Barry.

 

[bestill]

I agree. Not only found, but found with physical evidence pointing directly at Barry.

Remind me did LE recover the swimsuit she was wearing that day? I can't recall the details.

Interesting quote here - “unwavering in our commitment to the prosecution of Barry Morphew” !

Apologies if this line of thinking has already been posted. LE thinks they are close to finding the body but it’s buried under 5ft of snow.

So a potential body is under 5ft of snow on April 19, 2022.

SM was murdered May 12th (or 11th) 2020.

So wouldn’t it stand to reason that in May 2020 this same location would be under a substantial amount of snow?

IE is pointing the WRONG finger in the video.
Should have been the one in the middle.
