Exactly. Color photos, big cap on the syringe, and it appeared there was more info on the DNA match that supposedly the prosecution has not shared with the defense in a timely manner. We will hopefully hear more about that soon.

As for the DNA "match" and the withholding/delay, I'm'a gonna bet my lunch money that there is no match and therefore nothing withheld!

Between arrest and the PH, LE probably did take a hard look at those partial matches and found nothing compelling.

The defense, meanwhile, would have us believe that there's a criminal out there, responsible for many violent crimes, who was rifling through Suzanne's glovebox and might be responsible for her disappearance.

Only the defense doesn't want that person on the stand because he had nothing to do with the disappearance of Suzanne! I know that and I believe they know that! It's just what good defense lawyers do! They raise spectres!

That criminal was likely never in Colorado, never anywhere near Suzanne or her car, and didn't even know she had a journal. Bet he doesn't even know he has a cousin, a couple times removed, who worked on Suzanne's car, probably in Salida!

See, the defense doesn't want to talk about that because that doesn't help their case. A partial match of someone related to someone related to someone who changed the oil in or rotated the tires on Suzanne's RR does not a smoking gun create!!

The defense is using the mystery, the mystique to make it seem like there's another person of interest, that there's a rogue rapist out there that could exonerate their client!

Alas, mon fraire, the person who left his DNA in Suzanne's car is not the who the defense would like us to think it is!

It would be DELICIOUS if, at trial, LE brought in the mechanic who worked on her or the detailer... to show just when and how he interacted with her car! Nothingburger with a side of SorryBarry.

But for that to work, LE would need DNA samples from every person who ever entered Suzanne's car and/or came into contact with someone who did. And there's no database for that.

What we are left with is one person, with his own DNA profile, who at one time, left his DNA on Suzanne's glovebox, and the closet match they could find popped up in the FBI DNA database as a partial match.

And none of that explains what happened to Suzanne on MDW!

Here Barry himself helps us out.

He tells us he was with his wife when she went radio silent. They agreed to put down their phones, he said. Because they went on a hike. On Saturday. But whelp, nope, he was getting his blade changed in Salida. Forgot about that, did he. Well, it was one of those days, that they hiked.

And he tells us he was, in fact, racing around the perimeter of the house. With a loaded .22. Which he was firing.

Then he admits to discarding all of his tranquilizer materials. That same weekend!

Story after story after story to Bsplain his odd movements, to rewrite the evidence (never tranqued any animals in Colorado, then tranqued two, never near the house, never in the house, and then maybe in the breezeway).

Barry made two fatal errors. Many more, but two fatal IMO.

He could have staged the bike ride for Saturday afternoon, when she would've been expected to ride. But he had no alibi and he would've had no chance to conceal her. He would've had to make the call to the police OR get thineself to Broomfield on Saturday and park his self there until Sunday...

So Fatal Error 1: leaving Suzanne, all of Saturday afternoon and evening and Sunday morning with no digital footprint. He didn't want LE alerted until she was stashed and he was far away.

And Fatal Error #2: he left off his 3-4am busyness .... and he turned left. The mistake -- taking his phone out of airplane mode, roughly as he passed by PP. He STAGED HIS START TIME!!

Some criminal in Arizona or wherever didn't do that!

Barry did.

That's why the defense would like us to look anywhere but there.

Judge Ramsey Lama will first be looking at the motions to quash. The defense has subpoenaed members of the Chaffee County Sheriff's Office & CBI. The judge says he has reviewed previous documents and is up to speed in this case. #BarryMorphew

Attorney for AG says prosecution withheld material from defense attorneys in the case who diligently continued to file motions asking for discovery information. She says the defense continued to ask and prosecutors never gave them the material they needed

 

[Lyanna]

@AshleyKKTV

The AG office filed a motion showing the information and discovery the prosecutors have but they say prosecutor refused to respond to emails or texts from AG office asking them to give the defense discovery they need. Basically saying they were being ignored by pros.

@LaurenScharfTV

A defense attorney is saying #BarryMorphew legal counsel pleaded with the prosecution before critical deadlines to get all discovery. They claim emails to the prosecution were not responded to so they reached out to specific CBI agents directly to get information in this case.

The defense attorney said #BarryMorphew legal team has been deprived of material that should have been provided and is relevant to the discovery sanctions. The prosecution is supporting the motion to quash.

Well that is dishonest! Wrong very wrong.

@AshleyKKTV

AG Office says #BarryMorphew has been deprived of getting the information of the discovery he had a right to before the preliminary hearing. Continues to say the defense has a right to all of this information

 

[genuineusa77]

I noticed that also and wondered if it was taken when police rifled her purse and wallet or if it was that way when police arrive and opened the door. It was an interesting picture.

VERY interesting.

@AshleyKKTV

CORRECTION- This is an attorney representing the defense team (yikes its been a rough one so far. I promise to do better)




Let me add - above was all tweeted by Ashley

@AshleyKKTV

Back on track now: Attorney for defense is now reading off a list of information from the discovery they have asked for but HAVE NOT gotten

@LaurenScharfTV

The defense attorney for #BarryMorphew is going down a list of agents' names, members of the AG's office, and other investigators on this case that they haven't received emails they've requested. The defense claims they've only received about 5% of this information.

How can they say they only received 5% if they say they haven’t gotten the information?

 

[girlhasnoname]

@LaurenScharfTV

The defense attorney is now talking about the drafts/all copies of the arrest affidavit of #BarryMorphew. They say they haven't received those either and believe they should have them by now.
