Found Deceased CO - Suzanne Morphew, 49, Chaffee County, 10 May 2020 #73 *ARREST*

Voir dire is one of the mechanisms the system uses to mitigate the influence of bias and prejudice. It also educates jurors about their role, the nature of the case, and the seriousness of their duty to remain impartial until all the evidence is heard.

No one gets to stack the jury with "beneficial" members. After both sides strike the jurors they think could be adverse, the result in theory is a jury of impartials.

Attorneys have all kinds of theories as to how best to conduct voir dire, mostly based on crude and superficial stereotypes - but there's zero evidence that any of them work, in the sense of picking a jury favorable to one side.

No matter what the attorneys can figure out by observing, listening, and studying the juror bios, they cannot possibly know in advance how a particular juror will react to the evidence offered in the case about to be tried, and they cannot know how one juror will influence, or be influenced by, others in the jury room. Even those who use "jury consultants" and employ "scientific" jury selection have little to show in terms of measurably better outcomes. (Lieberman & Sales, 2007; Posey & Wrightsman, 2005).

I don’t know. Whoever OJ employed to pick his jury seemed to do pretty well.

It’s in BM’s interest to appear thin and frail.

Exactly. I’m sure 3 months in county lock-up will have an effect on one’s appearance, but it’s also calculated. If he was out on bail his Defense would be advising him to lay off the Just for Men hair and beard dye and give up the tanning bed. They want him looking old and tame.
If they show him bulky and sleeveless in the TD video or one of the many many interviews with LE, the Jury will have the correct image of what he looked like at the time of the crime. Also, they will see and hear his demeanor on tape.

I don't think your last sentence is fair. As far as the girls know that 100% IS Mother's last known location. Remember that IF BM is proven to be responsible for their mother's death, they are victims who will have been blindsided by their unconditional love for their father. They have already lost their mother and their father is in jail about to go to trail for murder. My heart ACHES for those poor girls. They are on the precipice of having their entire belief system annihilated. Their faith, their world view, their concepts of family and their value of love is about to come down on them with the weight of a 1000 centuries of despair. The rest of their lives will be irreparably damaged. They can cry as much or as little as they want to as far as I'm concerned and I'm crying for them. It's brutal what those girls are going through.

My apologies, Derph, for I did not mention the children. In fact, before the PH, I came here to declare that I am standing in the Gap for the two girls. You see, my own child was under the spell of my mean mistreating narcissistic sociopathic X. I bow my head every way in thanksgiving for her becoming a happy, well-adjusted, successful adult today bc it easily could have gone sideways for her.

I knew the crazy-making behavior he was doing to my daughter just as Suzanne knew what Barry was doing to their children, sad as that is.

 

[HistoryNut]

I don't mean to sound insensitive. I admit I am a bit miffed by their court behaviour. Laughing with their father, praising his looks, pointing to their hair for dad's affirmation---blowing kisses---it seems contrived for the public, imo.

I know they are the victims and I should be sensitive to that situation. I am just impatient and wish they could see what their father did to their Mom. So far, they seem to be fully in his corner.

Sadly, I’ve seen first hand how parental alienation can alter a child’s reality. I feel so sorry for those girls because I believe that they will eventually recognize the horrible truth. It is so tragic.

As I understand it , Barry Morphew was on Ashley Madison? And, he happened to do a search
For "Cute Girls Near Salida" ? IMO

Does anyone have those results ? IMO

 

[Seattle1]

Does anyone know what happens if the state does not get through their witnesses at the end of day four?

It's most unfortunate that the defense derailed the judicial clock just to emphasize that SM allegedly hooked up with her high school fling.

During a preliminary hearing, evidence is viewed in favor of the prosecution. This is not a trial and the prosecutor will have to make the decision as to which of the remaining witnesses to call that they believe are most critical to show probable cause.

Regardless, the outcome is going to be:

• Go to trial
• Reduce the charges
• Dismissed (though the prosecutor may refile the charges).

MOO

Just imagine how weak and elderly he will look in a year. Maybe he’ll even use a wheelchair or a walker a la Cosby or Weinstein.

 

[susiQ]

I have just tried searching for the quote I’m looking for back through the three previous threads but am unable to find it so please bear with me Mods (sorry)
I distinctly remember a quote from LE stating Barry told them he “loaded the truck the night before” - But we now know he didn’t bring any of the right tools for his workers to use when he arrived in Broomfield, so what exactly WAS he loading on Saturday night? Still so hoping we will find out when the HIE room was reserved too ...
ETA oh Ontario Mom you and I must have been typing at the exact same time !

Yes indeed, soooo many questions still! I can’t wait to find out why someone was operating machinery (perhaps Bobcat?) at the Salida riverfront property at around 11 p.m. on Mother’s Day weekend and what prompted LE to dig up a portion of the foundation?? SOMETHING certainly was suspected to have happened at that location! JMHO

 

[Deleted member 222031]

I believe any answer he had not thought out and pre-planned will be whoppers. Just absolute moronic statements. They will do him in, I hope. IMO

So far, he appears to be king of the non-answer answer.

Even when he's incriminating himself. "So, Mr. Morphew on Saturday afternoon, shortly before your wife disappeared, you were shooting a 22 rifle?" "Yes. I shoot chipmunks. I've killed 85."

Looking forward to the interview playbacks in court. And the chipmunk evidence.

Not sure the bobcat fits anymore. How about
Barry the Buffoon?

MOO LAPD lost that case.
No aerosol blood on sock, the blood was a transfer. Add losing the chain of custody of the CS blood. MOO think Chaffee is better than that.

Lighter thoughts: I am compiling a little zoo for us. So far we have a mountain lion, a bobcat, 85 chipmunks, and of course big bucks. Anything else?

 

[sunshine4040]

They say they are trying to poke holes in the data. The data on his phone about his movements on this day. BM already admitted he traversed this path, and offered excuses as to why. I don't
care whether he went 4 miles an hour or 29 miles an hour, he still has to account for his time. A phone "Ping" is totally different than a log from the GPS receiver.
I think they have the GPS log and the ping log, and maybe # of steps log, and his admission - the wildlife.
IMO

You forgot a turkey.

 

[PaulaDC]

Why take trailer off the hitch, and de trailer the bobcat. If used nefariously i think he would remember to hitch up for the broomfield job.
MOO It has logistical meaning.
The Ford 350 is unaccounted for 2:47 -5:30.
Moo that is where I think she was taken away.

Is this the same morning he was at MG place? Originally 4 then changed to 5? If so that means he went her direction, does that shorten his time for disposal and give a direction?

I think the jurisdiction choice was more important.

You forgot a turkey.

And the roadkill elk, where he got the bloody antlers.

Numbers of steps log is a great point! EXCELLENT, in fact!! Will be very interesting to hear what his phone shows. Walking around between 3-4am when he was allegedly sleeping.
