RSBBM:


Nice to see you LP! I've been thinking about this pen since I first heard it this morning at the hearing. Why would the defense team be so adamant about the "individual" if they found it to be of evidentiary value to the prosecution? Because they want to know what kind of Sh&t sandwich they are being served?? I'm not totally convinced I have a clear picture of this whole nugget, but we will soon.

GK is right, I don't think SM bought it herself. I think her BFF or possibly a confidant gave it to her as a way of documenting things she wanted to remain private until she was ready to share them. I felt that he defense was implying that SM recorded a conversation with "another man" and then listened to messages "the other man" left her and recorded them. The tone to me was accusatory toward SM not BM. As if to imply she was being surreptitious and unethical.

Anyone else have an idea or good frame of reference on this?

MOO IMO
I asked myself that very same question....why would the defense team push it? Is it exculpatory in some way? I know I certainly don't have a clear picture of the importance. I also wondered who "the man" was and why she felt the need to "record" their conversation and his messages. Was the tone menacing? Was there someone she wanted to get away from in addition to or other than Barry? That would perk up the defenses ears.

I've questioned the DAs earliest remarks that brought about the arrest during the one and only presser re: arrest and that was Barry murdered his wife because he knew legal and damning consequences were on their way. Down the pipe. The only way to prevent the downfall was to remove Suzanne. Did he shoot her in the basement with an illegal short gun on Mother's Day 2020?

All speculation, of course
From today’s hearing I learned LE presented 26 items of evidence to BM in a meeting on April 5, defense wants to know what those 26 items were.

There is zero, zilch, notta doubt in my mind BM was getting ready to run, as far away and as fast as he could no matter where it was. That’s why the AA is 130 pages long, DA didn’t have time to properly prepare, BM was loading a trailer to get the hellouttadodge….. I guarantee he would abandon everyone to save his stinking, tanned hide.

I think SM found damning information on BM, she was documenting it, and it was bad. Whatever it was, it was worth killing Suzanne over to shut her up. I’m really in a quandary. BM didn’t need to use the spy pen, he could track and get SM’s messages from her iPhone if he wanted. He could put up secret cams in the home if he wanted to watch her during the day.

I think the spy pen was purchased or was a gift to SM with the express purpose to gather info & evidence about BM, and she was using it to get the info on BM, she would record messages left on her phone to the spy pen, then delete them from her phone to keep BM from finding them.
My mind is really wondering….beginning to ramble, my mind is spinning.
Moo. EBM clarity. Hahaha as if?

IE : Ohh you can’t at all.. it’s very hard to hear.it’s very weak .. especially uh., this is honestly uh., the one spy pen recording that uh Suzanne recorded was between her and another individual taking on the telephone and her also listening to messages from this individual that are extremely critical to the case and it’s acknowledged by FBI Agent Grusing that they are hard to hear and that they actually had to go back and get them them enhanced. So all that’s in Discovery so uh we know that but the Prosecution doesn’t know that .. which is a problem.. right now but you can hear that they played that enhanced version. Or otherwise the individual that they played them for would have never been able to hear …. ( couldn’t understand the rest).
I'm confused, hoping someone can clarify - "we know that, but the prosecution doesn't know that". If the prosecution submitted the recording from the spypen as evidence. What doesn't the prosecution know about their own evidence?

Yea.... that’s confusing to me, as well. I didn’t understand that part.

Did anyone else feel as if the Prosecutor appeared ill prepared? I said this last time and was pounced on, he just comes off as indifferent and uninformed. Again, MOO

Anyone else feel they were lackluster?

Yes I felt the DA was a little unprepared today. They need to start bringing their A Game every stinking time to court, this isn’t dress rehearsal. Moo

I really prefer the scenario where Suzanne’s friend tells law enforcement about this. I absolutely think she would have at least told one person she was recording Barry.

Fortunately, we’ll know the answer to this, and a lot more, in a couple weeks.
What about the revelation we recently heard about from Melinda? She was so paranoid about Suzanne's text falling into the wrong person's hands, she deleted it from her phone so she couldn't inadvertently send it to someone. I suspect she told Melinda and possibly her hometown friend from Indiana, JMO. This also fits with Melinda's revelation that Suzanne was concerned for her own safety.

Shiesty Barry was up to no good, whatever it was Suzanne found out about it and was accumulating evidence. This wasn't about infidelity, or paying employees under the table. Oh Suzanne ... {I wish you hadn't done that} JMO~

Maybe they are sitting back trying to get a sense of what they are up against. Leading with their pawns instead of their knight LOL Perhaps we'll get a better sense of their capabilities coming up when it's all about presentation and cross. I would guess we'll see more of Linda Stanley....if we don't -- I don't think that is a good sign...her distancing herself from the probably the biggest case in her life. Even if a DAs office gives the case to another prosecutor in the office they are generally front and foreward in a case that has media attention.

Judge had asked if everyone agreed that an enhanced version of the recording existed and the Prosecution said “not to my personal knowledge but that doesn’t mean that it doesn’t “

My first instinct/thought was that Suzanne had a recorded conversation with this witness, perhaps saying "you saw what he did when he pushed me down on the ground, I am just asking you to be a witness for a restraining order". Or some other thing like that.

Because I got the sense that this witness was perhaps a 'hostile' or reluctant one. Probably wrong, but that is the initial impression that I got.

I had the same vibe. It sounded like the pen had recorded a conversation between SM and a man, and they attempted to play it back to the man. If so, why? Perhaps he did not initially come forward as a witness, but upon hearing confirmation that LE knew he had critical information, he then became a “consequential witness.”

Speculation: Could he be the husband or boyfriend of a paramour of Barry’s? I’m thinking Suzanne may have called a man to let him know he, too, was being cheated on. I can see a man not wanting to come forward in that scenario, as it would expose his wife’s or girlfriend’s involvement with Barry.

Ahhh, now it makes sense, thank you!

Reminds of the searches of Kelsey Berreth's condo. They searched initially and then went back and searched again after they had testimony from KK of her murder there.
And IIRC, after Kelsey's mom and I believe Kelsey's brother visited Kelsey's home and noted blood on the toilet and took pictures and sent them to LE. But yet it apparently was noticed on LE's previous search ( searches possibly). This is all IF I am remembering correctly and I admit that I could be wrong on this. JMO

I am used to a strong presence in an attorney. You don’t want a wishy washy lawyer any more than you want a timid surgeon. Iris Eytan speaks with authority and confidence. Jeff Lindsey sounds like he is going to offer you a glass of sweet tea. I want a prosecutor with passion, a person that sounds like they know every detail and are there to guide you through. I want them to lay out why the defendant is guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. I like strength. I’m not feeling it here. But then again, I will not be on the jury and I have no idea how his personality plays to the people that will ultimately decide Barry’s fate.

Nov 10, 2020, the CCSO put out a press release inviting anyone who may have been communicating privately with SM via social media to come forward and they emphasized that the person could do so confidentially. I wonder if the spy pen was in any way related to whoever that person might be.
Suzanne Morphew case remains a priority to the Chaffee County Sheriff’s Office - Chaffee County Sheriff
Excellent memory @Diddian you may have solved one of the puzzling aspects of this case - that elusive communication - well done !

For those of you who didn't get to watch, I guess PE was live-streaming for part of it.


Thanks for posting this after watching it I think this mysterious pen might be something Barry planted vindictively to manipulate her in some way. I didn't get to witness the hearing so I could be wrong but right now going off posts and this podcast I think he did
