Actually they do, Hallmark has a card featuring a dumpster, quite appropriate, but I don't want to risk a time out for either of us. Your observations have been too hot as of late. Don't you just hate it when your ankle monitors get twisted together?



In the interview at the time, Barry said it was a Valentines 2020 card.
He shared a letter Suzanne wrote to him in February for Valentines Day. It’s the last note he has from her.
“Just want you to know – my life would be nothing without your love and the excitement you bring to our marriage and my life. All my love – Suzanne”

I guess she mailed it from Florida, where she spent Valentines 2020 with JL.

Suzanne probably wrote that card twenty years ago.

Tires, assorted junk Barry didn't want to pay to get rid of.

Could be a set of summer tires or a set of winter tires if they had already been switched. Pretty common in snow country for people to have two sets of tires...I do and both mine are on rims so they just get switched out when the season changes. They sit in the off season somewhere out of the way. My guess since it was May those are summer tires.

Does anybody know if Barry's ankle monitor is the listening/recording type?

LOL at getting twisted together!

Can I just ask? Do you think BM is guilty or not guilty?
Am curious, you're very neutral on this thread

As far as the prosecution theory...IMO they would be wise to "change it". We will just disagree on the impact a prosecution witness pleading the 5th has a jury. As far as the judge favoring the defense, again and not something I think you've commented about that I've disagreed with, I think he is doing everything in his power to drag our the motions...to sanction anyone in the prosecutor's office right now would be a negative perception of the prosecution that could help the defense showing once again his lack of bias.

I'm not sure I follow your reasoning, here. Are you saying Judge M has done everything in his power to avoid ordering sanctions against the prosecution? If so, please provide an example of the "dragging out" you see.

The defense's last minute recusal motion actually prevents him - as a matter of law - from ruling on any pending request other than recusal. I believe Judge M's original purpose in setting this date was to hold a hearing on the defense sanction motions. It was the only date available.

I think Judge M will find that since the prosecutor endorsed SD as a witness in BM's case and that she will be represented as such by his good friend's firm - likely asserting her constitutional rights and seeking to limit the scope of her testimony through her attorney - a perception of bias in her favor is unavoidable if he continues to preside. Although it's impossible to see how a defense bias would harm either SD or BM, judicial integrity is nonetheless important and he must avoid even an appearance that he is partial to one side.

Then, we should get a judge who can address all the motions expeditiously, not having the challenge of a full caseload to manage.

@Momofthreeboys is the toughest jury member we have to convince. She's softened some already.

I like the neutrality, and it's the best way to look at things but personally i struggle to see it with BM. Guess I'd make a terrible juror - think waaaaaaaayy to much with my heart and rarely use the head lol.

I only think with my head, which is why I would literally bet my life on his guilt without hesitation.

I've followed plenty of cases where I wouldn't dream of saying that, but those cases are no where as clear as some of them are.

Frazee, Watts, Stauch, Morphew.

Plain as day.

 

[MrsWatson]

I think the evidence speaks very clearly to BM's guilt.

It's the hundreds of little things that just don't point anywhere other than at BM. For me, it started with that "Oh, Suzanne" video.

 

[Lyanna]

I think he is definitely guilty, there is no one else in my mind that would have reason, means or opportunity, sorry if that wasn't clear.
Am just curious as to how most of us think he is and a few are very neutral.

Sorry if I have offended anyone, really wasn't my intention.

Ha! No need to apologize. Everyone is free to have their own opinions, and I was in no way saying that you thought he was innocent.

I was just saying how strong my belief was.

Guilty. Now to find Suzanne. What did he do with her? Where did he put her?

Wherever she is, I fully believe she will be found, secrets do come to light, its a matter of time.

BM may have moved on and forgotten about her, but we haven't and won't.

That video is a shocker

Interesting

I've been convinced of guilt in every major trial I've followed

Knox
Pistorius
McStay

I guess once you invest years in the process you get a strong conviction?

Awe....... I dropped out of law school to go to the biz school but I loved moot court. Someone needs to counterpunch now and then while we wait for the trial and I'm a toughie.

IMO, BM and his every move and all of LE's activity and inactivity have shown his guilt from day one and continues to this day. I hope they're still dedicating personnel hours in every way they can as I don't even foresee a new court date being met by the defense without some reason for delay. Also IMO, LE and the prosecutors KNOW he's guilty but I hope they don't rely on the multitude of FACTS to convince a jury. Maybe prosecutors should have more experience being defense attorneys before working in a DA's office, instead of the other way around.
I'm all over the place today (Xmas prep) so please forgive my being all over the place.
As far as SD pleading the fifth (whichever way the wind blows with recusal in either her trespass case or BM's),
IMO it always looks bad for the witness, the defense attys and whomever is charged - NOT the prosecution.
What do you have to hide and why? It screams guilt in one facet or another.

As far as SD being involved? That may well have to do with the defense objecting to validity of the confiscated letters and cards - as many of you have pointed out, which I thoroughly enjoyed!
IF they were together before Suzanne was murdered, that points to two - no, three things. First is MOTIVE. BM's possible motive to get rid of SM. IF she knows of anything before or after the fact, she's an accomplice. Pleading the fifth only makes him AND her look more guilty to someone who hasn't been following the case and definitely to those of us who have.
IIRC, Suzanne even mentioned in her texts that she didn't care about who he was involved with. She knew. That is if it was SD she was referring to, there are more women who might be brought up.
An affair and the financial gain he'd acquire due to her 'incapacitation', which I'm sure will be addressed at trial, only points to his motive even more. She didn't even have to be declared deceased for him to get his 'mitts' on it all. Home run BM, or so he thought. Maybe his one and only.
I look at a case in layman's terms because no matter what research I do, I put my mindset into that of a juror - the average person who doesn't have much legal experience other than Law and Order or Dateline.
BUT, the average person is not used to extremely well-versed defense attys who know how to deflect, confuse and manipulate jurors by dragging out inane and useless dramatic tactics in order to eat up the prosecution's time - just as they did in each hearing.
IMHO
Edited many times due to being stoopid. There may be more errors. I need an editor.

I'm so convinced that I genuinely cant understand how anybody isnt

And I'm about 5000 miles away.

Yeah I agree @MassGuy in all those cases, like this one, it was/is plain as day.
I would add Dulos, Peterson, Peterson, Peterson, Powell, to my plain as day list.

Sad that Jennifer, Stacy, Susan and Suzanne remains’ haven’t been found. YET. All were lovely women and loving Mom’s that would never leave their children.
Low risk victims that seemingly had not an enemy in the world. All had either mentioned to at least one other person their desire to leave and/or divorce their controlling, abusive husband. And we have Suzanne’s text to BM- “I’m done, let’s end this civilly”. And NO she was not saying she was done with her coffee. SMDH. Stacy confided in her beloved sister, and Susan had mentioned to someone can’t recall who atm, and poor Jennifer had actually started the process, separated from FD and going through proceedings. Two of those husbands, JP and FD in final act of selfishness and control, took their own life. Disgusting, evil Powell in the most awful, horrific way decided to take the the lives of his 2 little boys also. Absolute monster.
Another, DP, is finally in prison after being convicted of murdering his 3rd wife, still claiming to this day that his 4th wife ran off with some other dude and is sitting on a tropical beach in her bikini sipping pina colada’s. GMAFB DP. So glad that disgusting, vile human is finally locked up.

And now we have Morphew, awaiting trial for M1 and tampering with his wife’s deceased body, currently out on bond, a free man- For now. IMO, it’s plain as day that BM is guilty as sin. Let’s hope the jury gets it right at trial, and he is put away/locked up, where he belongs and deserves to be for the rest of his miserable life.

IMHOO

Amen, @fcavanaugh . Especially this time of year, it's beyond irritating that this murderer is allowed to enjoy life when he took his wife's life.
I had a dream once that I died. I saw myself in a coffin on display which is weird because I plan to be cremated. I've always felt sorry for myself for losing those I'd loved, until that dream where I realized that it's the person who dies who has to miss all of them. Suzanne misses her daughters dearly, no matter where their loyalty seems to be or where they feel it has to be now that their mother is gone. That's how powerful a mother's love is.
