Still Missing CO - Suzanne Morphew, 49, Chaffee Co, 10 May 2020 *arrest* #90

This won't impact potential jurors in my opinion and there is still that change of venue motion so even if locals are glued to twitter today people outstate are probably not glued to twitter should the venue change.

I don't know, seems a pretty high profile case and with the 48hr Episode - may have reached quite a number of people

Judge orders prosecution to release documents in Barry Morphew murder case

The new judge presiding over Barry Morphew's murder case on Monday ordered the prosecution to turn over all police reports and videos from the 20-month-long investigation to the defense.

Morphew's attorneys argued during the first day of a two-day hearing that the prosecution has not handed over evidence in a timely manner.

11th Judicial District Judge Ramsey Lama also said prosecutors must turn over any internal affairs and resignation materials involving a Colorado Bureau of Investigation agent who stepped down after a dicey evidence hearing in August.


According to information divulged in court hearings, the glove box DNA was a mixed partial profile of three people, including Suzanne Morphew, one of the Morphew daughters and a third profile, which has markers similar to three profiles found in three sex assault cases in Arizona and Chicago through the Combined DNA Index System.

It's unclear to whom the profiles belong, whether there is enough of a profile to identify a close match or whether the profiles have been thoroughly investigated. The defense team said Barry Morphew's DNA has been excluded from the glove box sample; however, the touch profile was not found anywhere else but on the glove box.

Lol. This is even more weak than I imagined (mixed partial profile).

Touch DNA tends to be very flimsy evidence to begin with, as you can have secondary transfer (I shake your hand and touch something).

That's why I don't put stock in any of the DNA found, to include things harmful to Barry.

Anyone else think something up at Chaffee County Courthouse? Or is this normal?

Could be that Lindsey hasn’t gotten there yet.

The judge must also realise this too, so why are the defence being allowed to continue their charade?

The lack of any tweets is very strange imo.

Despite us knowing that it's irrelevant, it is relevant to the defense case. It's evidence they can use to create reasonable doubt, even though people familiar with this case (largely) won't see it that way.

The investigative agencies and the the DA's office have to follow proper protocols, so if they haven't, the defense is also well within their right to challenge that.

Of course any notion that DNA of any sort would exonerate Barry is absolutely laughable, but the defense is playing this smart.

Earning every penny too.

Seems the court was recessed until 1:15 pm MST (for lunch) and that was the last we heard from reporters on site.

It’s 2:50 now. Usually we see a short tweet saying if they are waiting on the Judge, waiting on a witness, etc.
This radio silence is odd !

Right! I am in Mountain Time Zone and it's 2:54 p.m. now. So what's happing in courtroom? No tweets?

 

[DizzyB]

Not a tweet peep. If they were in chambers I would think one of the reporters would have been aware or even tweeted that they weren’t sure what the hold up is. I have no patience.

I wish.

Our resident courtroom attendee is @NoSI but she's not in attendance.

 

[Baby2Baby]

So thoughts on wat this delay is about?

Yes. This is super weird. It's only 3 ish, so it's not like Ashley or Lauren are doing live broadcasts instead right now.

 

[fcavanaugh]

Did something maybe unexpected/untoward happen in the courtroom that caused the judge to put the Kabosh on even reporters being able to report/tweet further on today’s proceedings? I have no idea if that’s even possible, just hmmm….wonder what it could be….

IMHOO

Defense has orchestrated a power outage of entire Chaffee County to further their pursuit of a change of venue.

JUST KIDDING

The reporters probably left to get lunch and can't get back in because Barry took up 4 spots with his truck.

He's absolutely that kind of person.

We better hear something soon!
