Found Deceased CO - Suzanne Morphew, 49, Chaffee Co, 10 May 2020 *Case dismissed w/o prejudice* #105

[steeltowngirl]

Meanwhile years ago, I found so many Sunset Farm LLC, in different states. I vague remember a pompous wedding location for example. At the time, I was asking myself, if all these companies were connected to BM ....

I recall that one too. Mainly, I recall the Sunset Farm LLC that raised our eyebrows, due to the date of the loan - 5/2/2020, SM doing the business billing, and her disappearance just days later.

Yes, we do know.

Fremont County criminal cases dismissed or in jeopardy because of district attorney violations

FREMONT COUNTY, Colo. (KRDO) -- 13 Investigates obtained court documents that reveal multiple criminal cases are in jeopardy because of discovery

This will certainly add to the Supreme Court Attorney Regulation Counsel's investigation of Stanley. She should have made fixing this her highest priority.

I have always believed her political posture as an "aggressive" DA who would file the cases her more prudent predecessor would not, was unrealistic, and that the public's hunger for both "tough on crime" policies and people and low taxes has led to less effective law enforcement. This is a particularly egregious example of that. There are many more.

I just feel bad for the victims who aren't getting justice because of prosecutorial incompetence, Suzanne among them. And I hope there aren't any innocent defendants who have been convicted due to a failure to disclose exculpatory evidence. An incompetent or dishonest prosecutor's office is a terrible thing for everyone except the truly guilty.

Oh wait, so it WAS Linda Stanley with the problem and not Judge Ramsey Lama? I'm shocked! I've had many people here tell me the discovery problems in the Morphew case were because of the Judge and not the prosecutor.

Forgot IMO. Stanley made discovery violations. Lama ended the trial before it started with overly harsh sanctions. Both did nothing to advance justice.

The incompetence might be down to lack of resources

Stanley is a bad DA. BM is a wife killer. You decide which one is more of a "problem"? iMO

without doubt Stanley - she is risking many cases by the looks of it, not just BM, and not just one potential murderer.

Murder is better than being a bad DA. Got it.

Can the case against BM be redeemed? Ever?

Don’t misconstrue. Being a bad DA lets murderers get away with their crimes, so yes, a bad DA is worse than being a murderer.

I get what you're saying, but can't agree. Obviously both are terrible, but a person who literally and intentionally ends the life of another human being, is far worse.

A bad DA can get his or her act together and fix what went wrong - or - step aside and let someone else take over.
A murderer can't undo what they did.

The Scope of the Problem: Intimate Partner Homicide Statistics

From 1980 to 2008, nearly 1 out of 5 murder victims were killed by an intimate partner (Cooper & Smith, 2011). In fact, available research shows that women are more likely to be killed by an intimate partner (husband, boyfriend, same-sex partner, or ex) than by anyone else (Catalano, 2013...

The reason we are here. Stanley screwed up, but the case can still be tried.
BM screwed up, and Suzanne died. Imo

I get the frustration behind this question and I share it, but respectfully, I suggest that it's completely unfair and unnecessary: is assumes a dichotomy that is false.

The supreme evil in murdering another human being has been recognized for thousands of years and is impossible to exaggerate.

But to me, this makes it all the more important that we improve our ability to investigate and prosecute these crimes with due respect for the principle that punishing the innocent is both ineffective enforcement and an evil in itself.

We are nowhere near where we should be in that respect, IMO, especially in rural communities with limited resources. Among the many lessons voters need to learn are that you get what you pay for, and that politicians who suggest otherwise should not be elected.

These issues are certainly related, but just as certainly different.

All MOO.

The incompetence might be down to lack of resources

I think her attitude (convictions aren't important & resources are not a consideration because a defendant facing charges is often the only justice victims get), her tone-deafness when ethics would get in the way of her ambition (previous public censure), her utter lack of administrative experience, and her poor judgement as a lawyer all contributed to the fiasco in this case.

I disagree with Judge L's rulings and I believe the prosecutor's omission of rebuttal evidence allowed IE to mislead Judge M that there was a SODDI defense. But no one should be misled to believe Judge L's rulings exist in isolation from LS's mistakes. She gave him the sticks to beat her with...

All MOO.

Lama might have done the state a favor. If they brought that trial to a jury with their unsubstantiated theories it is entirely possible he would have been aquitted with zero chance of any future trial. We all wanted a trial but I would never have bet on the prosecution based on their arrest affidavit.

The incompetence might be down to lack of resources

Agree @mrjitty it could be a lack of resources. I was also wondering if perhaps there are those on Linda's staff whose job it is to supply discovery to defense, that are holding the discovery back as a way to discredit Stanley and sabotage her office.
Lots of games are played by all these political factions everyday across all parties IMO. Or yes, it could simply be Linda being not up to task - for whatever reason -and seemingly not caring. Just so strange. That a woman so driven - IIRC truck driver to lawyer - would fail so needlessly and glaringly. ALL IMO
