Oh my, you've got the scoop. What do the locals seem to think of BM if you don't mind me asking?

JMO

Sorry to reply to my own post @TravelingBug but I see you've already shared a good bit. I could have been more patient and continued to read down further.

In my defense, I just cannot abide BM and am not-so-patiently waiting to see him rearrested and locked up with no bail. I know the new DA needs to have their chipmunks in a row so to speak, so I wait.

Some wondering/waiting on that some wondering why he's here, some wondering how many women don't know who he is still (and if they are falling for him or just messing with him), many wondering why one particular well known local seems to have befriended him to the degree he has.

Kind of an assortment of things!

Is Barry's sidekick still with him?

I'd be overjoyed with an arrest on Mothers Day (May 11) 2025.

JMVHO.

That then leads to a the lawsuit, which was filed on Thursday, December 5, by the County Commissioners from Fremont, Chaffee and Custer County, who claim Stanley committed fraud and civil theft against their counties.



In it, attorneys allege that Stanley spent $111,971.35 in public funds to pay for her legal fees racked up by her and members of her staff in that State ethics trial, so they could defend themselves against allegations that they violated the Colorado Rules of Professional Conduct, or ethical violations.

i am fine that public office holders used public funds for this. It doesn’t make sense that DAs and prosecutors would have to pay their own fees every time they get sued.

This is really getting old. Maybe it's time for the commissioners to take a look at Judge Turner's action here!

Totally agree ...
IF

...said office holder was acting within the scope of their official duty(ies).

...which, I'll admit, answers little.
After all, what the heck in a specific case/particular circumstance would be held to constitute one's "official duty"...

APPELLATE DOCKET UPDATE AT 12/10/24:
View attachment 550718

Tenth Circuit | The United States Court of Appeals

www.ca10.uscourts.gov

Added some documents to the MEDIA ONLY thread after updating the appellate docket-- quoted above-- which reveals the farce BM and his defense team are trying to pull by even filing an appeal in UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE TENTH CIRCUIT!

In Morphew's Docs #40 and #42, we learn that BM wants a do-over!

He acknowledges that he voluntarily dismissed defendants to his lawsuit, and the Court dismissed all the remaining defendants, but now BM is wants to file an amended Civil Rights Complaint in the District Court-- suing fewer defendants for fewer claims than he did initially -- taking notes from the Courts Final Judgement that BM thinks were favorable to his case!

If the District Court grants his Motion to file an Amended Complaint, then BM will voluntarily withdraw his appeal but until then, he is seeking a stay on the Appeal. The Court imposed a deadline of December 17 for Appellee's to respond to BM's Motion.

And for some true irony, -- Iris isn't a member of the 10th Circuit Bar and therefore isn't authorized to practice before the Appellate Court! She's been put on notice (Doc # 34) to make timely application or she will be stricken from BM's appellate case.

Of course, had this been Stanley, MSM would be reporting this from every corner of the state!

The Amended Complaint is 175 pages plus -- but not today. JMO

Great summary. Thanks for posting this and all you have done to keep us updated here. Your efforts are greatly appreciated!

How is it you get to refile complaints already struck out?


it would seem odd that the Court would let you refile if you agree not to appeal - isn't that the whole reason he needs to win on appeal?

Another Motion for Indicative Ruling pursuant to Rule 62.1 by BM filed in US District Court 12/9.

Team BM first filed this Motion on 12/5 without conferring with the defendants and opposing counsel they intend to sue -- 'let's ambush them'-- but withdrew their Motion citing both the Motion for Indicative Ruling and Motion to file Amended Civil Rights Complaint were filed in error.

Judge Domenico immediately ruled the Motions moot -- I sure hope Domenico is on to how they are trying to use him and restate their case (Amended Complaint) from his own Judgement (Dismissal) in favor of the defendants. IMO, they've had much practice in this regard.

Wonder if Barry has offered to bury the stolen furniture.

A technical reach -- praying on the Dismissal without Prejudice??

From the Docket:

Claim. All claims are DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE. SO ORDERED by Judge Daniel D. Domenico on 9/24/2024.(rkeec) (Entered: 09/24/2024)

 

[Seattle1]

Whereas team Morphew earlier dismissed FBI's Harris & Grusing from the lawsuit WITH PREJUDICE, I must say I'm deriving too much pleasure that defendants counsel has ignored everything from BM and the 10th Circuit.

I'm sure they are thinking other choice words but let's just say a diplomatic "go pound salt" message.

Three agents dismissed from Morphew’s lawsuit

DENVER – A Chaffee County sheriff's detective and two Federal Bureau of Investigation agents whom Barry Morphew sued last year have been dismissed from the court case.

www.themountainmail.com

4/2/24

DENVER – A Chaffee County sheriff's detective and two Federal Bureau of Investigation agents whom Barry Morphew sued last year have been dismissed from the court case.

They were among numerous law enforcement authorities Morphew is suing for their roles in investigating and prosecuting him for the alleged murder of his wife, Suzanne. She went missing near their home in Maysville in 2020.

Morphew's lawsuit is ongoing against more than 20 other law enforcement authorities. The case is in Denver at the U.S. District Court for Colorado.

Court records and the FBI are silent on why Morphew agreed to have agents Jonathan Grusing and Kenneth Harris dropped from the case on March 27. An attorney for Morphew did not respond to The Mail about the development.

[..]

Morphew's lawsuit against law enforcement authorities alleges that they fabricated evidence against him and withheld evidence favorable to him, among other things.

On March 29, Morphew dismissed Chaffee County Sheriff’s Detective Sgt. Claudette Hysjulien from being a defendant. The court filing for the dismissal does not state a reason for it.

RE: 24-1424, Morphew v. Chafee County, Colorado, et al
Dist/Ag docket: 1:23-CV-01108-DDD-JPO

11/13/24 - DOC#36 - DEFICIENCY NOTICE (NOTICE OF APPEARANCE FOR FBI HARRIS, GRUSING).

 

[Seattle1]

From the Motion (Doc #171), Team Morphew is absolutely shameless...

Plaintiff-Appellant believes this court’s issuance of an indicative order is in the interests of
judicial economy. In the proposed Amended Complaint, the number of defendants is reduced, several claims for relief have been omitted, and the claims that remain have been better articulated to address the deficiencies in the factual allegations found by this Court with respect to the original Complaint.

In the Original 185 page Civil Rights Complaint filed May 2, 2023, BM sued the following:

• Chaffee County, Colorado
• Board of County Commissioners of Chaffee County, Colorado,
• Chaffee County Sheriff’s Department
• District Attorney Linda Stanley
• Chaffee County Sheriff John Spezze
• Chaffee County Undersheriff Andrew Rohrich
• Eleventh Judicial District Attorney’s Office Investigator Alex Walker
• Deputy District Attorney Jeffrey Lindsey
• Deputy District Attorney Mark Hurlbert
• Chaffee County Sheriff’s Detective Robin Burgess
• Chaffee County Sheriff’s Deputy Randy Carricato
• Chaffee County Sheriff’s Deputy Scott Himschoot
• Chaffee County Sheriff’s Sergeant Claudette Hysjulien
• Chaffee County Sheriff’s Sergeant William Plackner
• Colorado Bureau of Investigation Director John Camper
• Colorado Bureau of Investigation Agent Joseph Cahll
• Colorado Bureau of Investigation Agent Megan Duge
• Colorado Bureau of Investigation Agent Caitlin Rogers
• Colorado Bureau of Investigation Agent Derek Graham
• Colorado Bureau of Investigation Agent Kevin Koback
• Colorado Bureau of Investigation Agent Kirby Lewis
• Colorado Bureau of Investigation Deputy Director of Investigations Chris Schaefer
• Federal Bureau of Investigation Agent Jonathan Grusing
• Federal Bureau of Investigation Agent Kenneth Harris
• John/Janes Does 1-10
• and other unknown employees of the Eleventh Judicial District Attorney, and other unknown officers of the Chaffee County Sheriff's Department.

And cites thirteen Federal and State Claims for Relief.

In the proposed Amended Claim, BM promises to reduce both the number of defendants and the claims for relief, and to better articulate them by using the deficiencies in the factual allegations found by the US District Court.

In other words, copy and paste Judge Domenico's words into their Complaint. Deja vu much?

Shall we place wagers on "who's in" and "who's out" in the amended lawsuit?

Claims omitted?

SMH. Never before has a defendant deserved his legal team and they their client! JMO
