Info from people who know PF:
“He worked on my horses for a real short time till he punched one in the gut with a rasp and that was about the last time I let him work on my horses,” -MG

'It's a characteristic that was ongoing for years. Anytime he was at a rope and his horse didn't act right, he'd rip on his face, kick him. In the community, we were all at ropings and stuff, but if the horse doesn't do exactly what it's supposed to do you don't just beat them.' -MG

'One time we were at a rodeo in Cripple Creek and he got mad because his horse didn't do good and somebody didn't heel just right to help him get in the money and he got so mad he left out of Cripple Creek Rodeo, flipped his horse trailer with his horse in it and almost killed that horse.
'He got mad, tries to get his vehicle out of there and there's too many cars tightly packed in. Lots of people were there. -MG

'He was in a rage of being mad and angry, because the heeler didn't heel and they lost out the money. It was kind of a sad deal, especially trying to get the horse out that was traumatic for everybody.' -MG

A former girlfriend of PF declined to speak to the press but her partner commented saying that he knew Frazee to be aggressive with horses and dogs but that he did not beat his girlfriends.
“He cheated on her while she was in the hospital, take that for what it’s worth,” the man said of his current partner’s former relationship with Frazee

'Patrick is a horseshoer, I heard once he was thumping on the horse "saying this is how you've got to do it," that horse reared up and kicked him right in the forehead, he got a bunch of stitches and his [then] girlfriend hauled him to the hospital to get stitches.' -High School Classmate of PF

'Oh yeah, he's a recluse for sure. I haven't seen him in 10 years or so.' -High School Classmate of PF

A neighbor heard 'mixed things' about Frazee's alleged rough behavior with animals.
He was quiet and shy. He had his own friends circle and stayed close to his friends,' he said.
'He did come across, "I'm a big tough cowboy." But that's that cowboy way, got be strong.
'That's how he was raised, he raised horses. I think if you're raised country that's normal, if you're raised city it's going to seem harsh. It's not wrong in his eyes. Sometimes there's neglect and over abuse yes, he'd tread the fine line on it I'd say. You've got make a horse submit to what you want to do. You've got to be kind of firm. You shouldn't hit them.' --Former Neighbor HF

Two friends of Patrick defended him and rejected any suggestion he was cruel towards animals:

'He's an old fashioned cowboy. He's just old school, he does things the old way. He shoes horses modern, but he trains horses the way people used to do it, I wouldn't say that he's cruel or not. He's a stand up real good guy. I've just known him for years and he's a great person.'
The friend said he had not met Frazee's fiancée but added: 'I know the day I saw him he was a great dad to the daughter and he's a good guy. He was fine. --Man who saw PF shoe horses in Sept.

'I know him, when we had horses he used to trim our horses hooves. He was a very nice young man, I knew him all growing up, we used to go to the Gymkhana and the rodeos when he was younger. I've known him since 2003 and I never saw him do anything inappropriate or out of order.' -DR, runs the propane store

"I've always considered him to be a gentle soul. Soft spoken and just really down to Earth and practical." “couldn’t imagine him doing anything that would harm anyone.” -Friend, SO

Relationship info reported by others:

KB and PF met online according to her cousin
PF helped KB move from WA to CO only months after they met
KB told her cousin she was happy when she moved to be near PF
KB often talked about her boyfriend (PF) at her aviation job in 2016
Baby K was born Oct 2017
They were engaged but did not have a wedding date set
They have never lived together -- KB's mom

"The relationship has been good, um, they're loving, um it hasn't been ideal, you know given given the economy and things, you know, they had plans that haven't worked out as they would have liked but they've dealt with that and they've made things work regardless." --KB's mom

"I mean they had plans, you know, they were planning to find a place for them to live and so forth and the economy with prices dropping out...Kelsey's fiance has some cattle and stuff and prices were poor and so the money just wasn't available as soon as they had hoped, but they make it work."-- KB's mom

There were no records of any domestic issues between the couple --Woodland Police Chief Miles De Young

“Like most relationships it has ups and downs but for the most part it's a good relationship,” -Frazee’s lawyer

Patrick Frazee's trial in death of fiancée to start Monday
[...]

Previously, prosecutors in the case said they wanted a jury pool of 250, noting that it may be difficult to seat a jury due to the publicity of the case. The defense, which had similar concerns, asked for 300, according to KOAA .

Twelve people will be picked for the jury, in addition to four alternate jurors.

Colorado judicial spokesman Rob McCallum said opening statements will begin no earlier than Friday, as they are expecting the jury selection to take several days.

The trial is expected to last three weeks. Prosecutors whittled down the number of witnesses from 255 to a significantly lower number in order to accommodate the trial, which was originally scheduled for three months, according to KOAA .

Patrick Frazee murder trial begins in Cripple Creek
Jury selection for the trial of Florissant rancher Patrick Frazee appeared ready to begin on time Monday morning amid a snowstorm that left roads slick and packed with snow.

Several people began congregating outside the courthouse shortly before 8 a.m. as Cripple Creek prepared for one of its largest and most notorious trials in recent memory.

Jury selection, set to begin at 8:30 a.m., is expected to last for much of this week with opening statements expected either Friday or Nov. 4.

Good afternoon, everyone. We're at a break during lunch, and so I've stepped outside the courthouse, and can offer a few updates from the #PatrickFrazee trial here in Cripple Creek.

#KelseyBerreth

Jakob Rodgers
@JakobRodgers

The court clerk issued 1,750 summonses to people living in Teller County for this case. About 125 were expected to appear today. And of that total, 85 appeared in court today for questioning as part of the jury selection process. #PatrickFrazee #KelseyBerreth
@csgazette

Jakob Rodgers
@JakobRodgers

So far, slightly more than 30 people have been dismissed. It will be a long process for attorneys on both sides to whittle the overall number down to 12 jurors and 4 alternates. Jury selection is expected to continue to Friday, with opening statements slated for Friday afternoon.

Edit: more updates...

@danielaleontv

#PatrickFrazee was in court today for jury selection. Dressed in a green button-up and tan slacks, a contrast from his inmate jumpsuit and bullet proof vest. 16 jurors are expected to be selected by Friday. With opening statements to begin that afternoon.

Just waiting on a picture of PF to show up, lol. Or are pictures illegal too in this case? :rolleyes:

Patrick Frazee murder trial begins with jury selection under way in Cripple Creek

He appeared Monday in khaki slacks and a checkered hunter green button-up shirt, and he looked on and repeatedly took notes during the morning's proceedings.

Occasionally, the sound of snowblowers filtered through the windows as at least a half-foot of snow piled up outside.

About 125 people were expected to show up Monday morning, McCallum said. Of that figure, 85 people were ultimately led into the courtroom as potential jurors.

Another 125 people are expected to report each morning until the jury is seated.


I'm ready to see #JusticeforKelsey
 
Trial starts for Colorado man suspected of killing fiancee

SABBM:

Jury selection began Monday in the trial of a Colorado man suspected of killing his flight instructor fiancee and burning her body on his ranch.

It was expected to take several days to seat a jury to weigh the evidence against Patrick Frazee, 33, who has pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder and solicitation to commit murder in the death of Kelsey Berreth.

Frazee appeared in court dressed in a shirt and khakis — as defendants usually permitted to do at trial — not the jail uniform he has worn to previous court appearances.

Shame....you only get one chance to make a first impression!

Enjoy those dapper duds while you can, Babe Ruthless.

Buttons and shoelaces are about to become a thing of the past for you.

Your Dockers days are well behind you.

Forever.

I don't have anything new to add just thinking a lot about Kelsey. She should be picking out a Halloween costume for her beautiful growing daughter and making plans for the holidays. I pray for the jurors. They are going to hear horrible things and perhaps see horrible things. They will likely be haunted by their upcoming experience. I hope this trial brings justice for Kelsey and her little girl. The world was truly robbed of someone special. Moo

It must have been kind of weird for him. I imagine that although mommy picked out his clothes (as usual), he had to actually dress himself.

BBM:

Same thought occurred here. But then I realized:

PF's already been behind bars for close to a year.

Like so many other learned skills, those types of self-care/grooming tasks can be "use it lose it."

I think he probably required some assistance with the shoes, especially.

Unless they had velcro fasteners....those are a bit easier.

Not as many steps to remember.

^^SBM

I think we learned his entire wardrobe consisted of 10 grey t-shirts and jeans so those dockers and button down must feel like he's dressed for his Senior prom! Bet he can't wait for KK to see him now.

Playing Catch-Up Today.

Questions for the Group:
  • Have the reporters said anything r/t the questions both the prosecution and defense are asking prospective jurors on the stand? It would be great to know what questions they're using in their weeding-out process.
  • Has DA May used any of his 5 peremptory challenges yet?
  • Are the reporters allowed to provide non-identifying demographic information regarding prospective jurors to the public?
It goes without saying, so I'll go ahead and say it: The prosecution has to get this jury composition right.

I firmly believe this stage right here is every bit as important as the trial itself.

Speaking only for Sam -- his last tweet was 7 hours ago.
 
Waiting like the rest of us for any tidbits of news on how the jury selection is going.

I did manage to figure out what notes he was writing on his tablet.

His lawyer told him to write this down as many times as he can before the trial is over with the hopes it will sink in. :)

TOO. LATE.

Not that it would have made any difference, anyway.

PF doesn't follow any commands.

The 10 Commandments, most particularly.

As he's clearly demonstrated.
