Found Deceased CO - Suzanne Morphew, 49, Chaffee Co, 10 May 2020 #100 *Case dismissed w/o Prejudice*

BTW, I am seriously considering adding "CBD Tim" to our zoo - not an animal, I know, but a seriously endangered creature, in fact hasn't been spotted ever in Colorado. What do you folks think?

I think it would be a lovely idea to give him his own herb garden, the cats might also enjoy a little catnip to help them relax .

I'm curious if the PH in August of 2021 stirred up some interest when possibly an informant saw what was actually out there and then decided to talk.. even an anonymous tip could have pointed to an area to search and I was reading that snow falls in Sept in the higher elevations. It's possible that the ground has been covered for 6 months + now and unable to be searched properly.

I am curious also if her RR data came in and showed something that night. Obviously if it left the house say after 2:45pm on Saturday and Barry said she was asleep when he left at 5am on Sunday, then it points to Barry using it to dump her. As of May 2021 when the AA was written it was noted the RR data wasn't back yet.. which is crazy to take a year +, but maybe they did get it back after the PH and it showed activity in a certain area?

I think it is possible the RR data has revealed something and that is why the defence keep bleating on about the dna found on the glove box.

There was weak evidence from the start and the prosecution filed for arrest seemingly in hopes the body would be recovered in the meantime. So disappointing. Saying now that they expect to find the remains soon sounds even more like a joke. This woman is most probably dead and there will be no justice for her. A person vanished just like that with no consequences. (my personal opinion)

BREAKING:After months of uncertainty, unexplained DNA, the dismissal of most of 16 expert witness, two judges, and a change of venue, prosecutors have filed a motion to dismiss the high profile case Tuesday morning just 15 minutes before the motion started.The judge is reviewing.

I told you guys as soon as I saw the DA's press conference, she was in way over her head. I think this dismissal proves it.

MOO I think that it revealed the prosecution wasn't keeping appropriate notes on one of their lines of investigation.

IMO: Most of us, most of the time, would do things differently, given the benefit of hindsight.

 

[WildOrchid]

I agree with Dan May. Freaking love this guy. MOO is this case was a train wreck from date of arrest and on.

Hugging and kissing your credibly accused murder client seems ill advised when there is a body out there somewhere. I am posting this screencap in the hope that it does so haunt her and police at long last find the victim.

IMO.

Shameless Hussey! I hope it bites her in the azzzz!

As much as this annoyed me, what really burned my socks were the outright, blatant falsehoods that proceeded out of her lyin’ mouth. She’s been hanging out with Bare too long! The CODIS nonsense, long since having been excluded as irrelevant and inconsequential in this case and the assertion that Suzanne used her phone and computer on the evening of May 9th when we all know she was dead by then. The only one using anything was her worthless murdering husband.

I really like Lauren S and her dedication to this case, but I was hoping she or someone would call Iris out on her BS, especially the CODIS distraction. Instead it was just left hanging there as if it were truth. What I would love to see in the next couple of days is a reporter dissect Iris’ “production” on the Court House grass and expose her disingenuous tiatribe so the public has a clear picture of what evidence there REALLY is! JMHO

 

[girlhasnoname]

Wow is the only word I can come up with at this point.

Hurricane Iris looked like an unprofessional, petty, 3rd year law student at her 'press conference'. Not to mention how disturbing it was to see her and BARE kiss 3 times at his truck. As unprofessional as she claims the media and DA Stanley have been, she just looked worse than them combined. Gross!

I'm glad they asked for and got a dismissal without prejudice. This gives them time to hopefully locate Suzanne's remains, and to get their expert testimony into evidence.

BARE got a small reprive, tick tock.......

I hope Lauren goes through Iris's performance line by line to show the real facts, not the alternative facts (lies) Iris was spouting.

And of course, Lauren knows the real facts and Iris does not?

I don't think she will, but we shall see.

Wow!

 

[BUF]

Just got caught up on yesterday’s news. All I can say is wow, wow, wow…but happy for this and hoping for a better prosecution lead and new judge next time around. Still have to see Iris’ PC…but second thought, maybe I should skip it.

Barry Morphew is a free man; upcoming trial dismissed by prosecution | News | denvergazette.com

The air in the courtroom was so tense, a service dog toward the back of the room whined as if to comfort people observing the proceedings.

Yeah, I think she was ready to battle to the death yesterday to not get anything changed or case dismissed based on the sanctions. She was furious because they pulled the rug out from under her with the last second surprise about Suzanne’s body and gave her no say in the matter.

Great analysis. This is why you don't let the JV team in on a varsity case. They simply did not have the manpower or expertise to prosecute this case successfully. Now it seems their only hope is to find Suzanne's remains. Without, they don't have a case.

 

[MrsWatson]

Well Lauren could start with the CODIS stuff, which was ruled out and Iris stated it as fact. And Iris definitely knows the facts, she chose to misrepresent them, though.

The way she spoke to Lauren,who has behaved totally professionally , was absolutely disgraceful . She should be called out for that and made to give a public apology.

It will be interesting to project when snow will disappear sufficient enough for searches to be done. It appears that May will bring mostly rain to the Salida area....off and on over the course of the month. How high up the specific location is would be a factor. Weather experts can fix my amateur description. Wonder what the time horizon actually looks like for searching?

Iris has to be the most prolific BS factory I’ve ever had the displeasure of listening to. Is there anyone she’d rather listen to than herself?? I’ve been sick nigh on 2 weeks and only since listening to her have I had the urge to vomit!!

Lots of disdain for the defense attorneys here...I get that....but we can only develop that disdain if the judge allows them the latitude to smear, distort and fabricate. He had done that. In my book, they are not the problem, the judge is.

 

[WestGL]

I disagree with some of the posters that there’s only weak evidence or there’s no case without the body.

A wife disappeared. She was having sex with a high school rival in the two years prior. In the week prior she wanted a divorce and her hundreds of thousands of dollars of inheritance.

The husband admits to being with her for 14 hours when her digital life went completely silent. She was never seen or heard from again.

The husband lied about almost everything that happened for 30 hours after she went silent. Using digital data, auto data, security camera footage, many of his lies can be proven false.

He was not doing what he says he was doing, he was not where he says he was, and digital data puts him at incriminating places over and over again.

He admits to having and using a weapon during that time, he admits to having and engaging with tranquilizer materials during that time. there’s evidence of many cover-up activities and evidence that place him In the middle of the cover-up activities.

On and on and on. All of that and much more cannot possibly be hundreds of coincidences miraculously within the perfect 30 hour window. It just takes a very good prosecution team to paint the whole picture and this team was failing.

I agree with Dan May. Freaking love this guy. MOO is this case was a train wreck from date of arrest and on.

If you look at the context of what he is saying, it is actually criticism of the judge who way overreached in throwing out the expert testimony critical to proving a credible but highly circumstancial case.

Missed deadlines and other prosecution misses could have been sanctioned without throwing the burden of proof into the trash. Judge L gutted the case against a domestic abuser and capital murderer.

May simply agrees there is not a winnable case UNDER THESE CIRCUMSTANCES.

I'd like to see the entire interview. Because context is critical to understanding this outcome.

I'd also like to see fewer unforceable errors when they bring this case again. That's a given.

But once again, I ask, why did Judge L choose to handicap this case? If there's an elephant in the room - calling out @Kemug here - it's the one sitting behind the bench. Not the ones in front of it.

Even the defense, while temporarily rejoicing, has to either 1) wonder why or 2) know why.
