Found Deceased CO - Suzanne Morphew, 49, Chaffee County, 10 May 2020 #77 *ARREST*

[Chelly]

I think he sealed it because he didn't think it was probative enough. And he didn't want all that extra info - whatever it is - in the court of public opinion. MOO

IMO, SM's affair was the only BAM to come out at this hearing. So by sealing AA, Judge was protecting BM's two adult children from public opinion on SM's affair. I am having a difficult time processing this.

Agent Cahill says #BarryMorphew was excluded from the DNA in the car. Defense is working to refresh Agent Cahill's memory with several documents, but the agent continues to say that he does not recall the affidavit he reviewed and does not remember the DNA portion.

This does not sound good - he knew he would be testifying - how can he just not recall and remember

So Barry supposedly "clipped SM on the side of her nose".

I'm wondering how this particular incident of domestic violence came to light and became part of discovery.

Did SM report BM to LE for this? As other posters have indicated, this incident was probably not the first, nor the last.

JMVHO.

wow
when did that happen?

just peeking in from lunch..

If Barry kept his .22 locked and loaded, he would've had to expell the chambered bullet. Pick it up, pocket it. Force of habit. Same for the syringe cap.

That the bullet wound up in the bedroom makes a strong case for a scuffle.... or as I said upthread, he removed his shorts. To make a point. ...

The cap didn't fall out and only wiggled free of the pocket IMO during the drying....

JMO

There was more evidence in the OJ trial and he walked. I see nothing here that is going to put bM behind bars. I said yesterday I was underwhelmed by the prosecution. Today I'm downright dumbfounded. They had A WHOLE YEAR and this is all they came up with?????!!!!!

OJ had a trial, complete with a runaway jury. Barry has not had a trial. So there' that.

Cahill said that he was on military leave and only got to review/edit until page 19 of the 126 pages of the affidavit so he didn't get through the rest of the pages.

I think they've shown probable cause but not probable cause of Murder 1. JMO.

 

[StarrDetective]

Let’s not forget he left home around 3:30AM to spend 11 minutes at a job site he wasn’t even legally allowed to work at, without any of the necessary tools and equipment to do the work, and told investigators he was at the job site working when he got the call about his missing wife when in reality he was in his hotel room for the 5 hours preceding the call.
He admitted to disposing of tranq material. (I’d like to know the context behind them getting him to admit that.)
They found a needle sheath in the dryer.
He admitted to shooting a gun at the very last minute anyone ever heard from SM again.
These are not coincidences.
He royally messed up, and he buried himself with his big mouth.
I do wish we would’ve heard some more evidence of premeditation (him spying on her, tracking her with his trail cams, google searches, etc.), but there’s no chance in hell he isn’t going to face trial for this.
Whether he spends the next year or so in jail awaiting trial- I sure hope so. He’s right where he belongs.

Think of all the animals who have been saved since his arrest. After all, if only one life is saved by this, then it’s worth it. Right, Barry?!

We are not sure of the date and time of this incident.

We only know it supposedly happened.

JMVHO.

Suzanne’s voice has only been a whisper throughout all of this so far, IMO. And I think that’s a big part of what the Prosecution is sandbagging for trial. Her own words — to her sister, to her neighbor, to SO, and to JL. All of whom can be called to step up and testify at trial. And that’s where justice for SM will ultimately be found.

The content of the AA was deemed sufficient by the judge to take the accused into custody. The PH will allow the judge to determine if the facts presented are such that a trial by a jury of peers for the accused is warranted. And he is by law bound to view the evidence with a prejudice that favors the prosecution. I believe the prosecution has jumped that hurdle. But even if it’s a close call in the judge’s mind, I believe judges will always err on the side of trial. Because, IMO, a jury of one’s peers is always the best imperfect way to see that justice is served.

How many times have we seen a case as noteworthy as this one fail at the PH stage? Not many, at least for me. My main concern at this point is if they establish a bond for BM, what that bond might be, and what limitations may come with it. I prefer, as I think many here do, that he remain in custody.

MOO.

Thank you for this. I have a sense of sadness that no one in her family( as far as I know) physically showed up for Suzanne at the prelim. Not even her girls. Her girls were her life. I am glad we are here for her and the others that are attending the court in Salida etc. etc. Suzanne deserved so much better. In life and in death. IMO

Agent Grusing was asked if #BarryMorphew ever struck #SuzanneMorphew and Barry allegedly told CBI agents "that it was an accident, he clipped the side of her nose with his hands."

Why are they going over this DNA stuff again? We heard about it the first day.

Yes, it could have been auto mechanic, car washer, or tire changer.

The defense is desperate, it ain't going to work IMO.

Yes this is good! Especially first paragraph! Suzanne’s own words have yet to be shared. I wish they would have ended with some dramatic quote from Suzanne or her list of 50 reasons but this is not a tv show right? My expectations may have been unrealistic. The prosecution has presented more than enough IMO but this gives me hope for the trial. Thanks!

 

[Chelly]

We don't know the identity of the judge who signed off on the AA. Based on his statements in sealing it, I highly doubt it was this judge.
MOO

One more time:
It. Was. Judge. Patrick. W. Murphy who ruled on sealing the AA !!!

District Court Judge Patrick W. Murphy ruled on Friday to keep Barry Morphew’s 130 page arrest affidavit sealed until at least September.

New witness: CBI Agent Joe Cahill, who investigated the case extensively. He acknowledges that Suzanne's Ranger Rover glove box had unknown DNA on it, which did not belong to Barry Morphew. @ABC2020

Eytan reading from the lab report says the prison DNA data system,
CODIS, returned 3 confirmed matches from the glove box to other unsolved sexual assaults. Cahill says it's true if it was in the report.
One of the sexual assaults occurred outside of a convenience store in Tempe. Judge overrules an objection reminding courtroom that the defense is allowed to question further in a proof evident presumption great hearing. Cahill then agrees the assault happened outside a conv store

MOO.

If he gets bond, he is going to run or Fotis Dulos himself. Jmo, but I called it with FD too. My only caveat to that is if Barry sees the prelim as a complete failure on the prosecution's side, like I do. We shall see. I am so sick to my stomach that I don't even want to go back to copying the tweets. Jmo

Defense says the DNA profile matches that from an unsolved sexual assault case was from Tempe, Arizona outside a convenience store. DNA was uncovered to see who the suspect was in that case and to see if it had any relation to the disappearance of #SuzanneMorphew @KKTV11News

 

[Lore Listener]

Plus the judge has done everything possible to protect Barry’s daughters. I think he will lower to M2 in order for BM to be with his daughters. I’m sure they have written letters to the court pleading for leniency to give their Father bond. JMO

I'm confused.

The judge has done everything possible to protect the daughters... so he'll make it possible for them to spend time with a murderer? Their own mother's murderer no less? How is that protecting them? Seems to me that would endanger them!

They are there... for Barry....
