Hello from Salida! I'm at the preliminary hearing for Barry Morphew. The judge is expected to rule whether there's enough evidence for him to stand trial. I'll be live tweeting, and here's the story so far: bit.ly/3Clael8 #9News

It's B-Day guys!!!!!

We’re in Salida today for #BarryMorphew’s hearing. He’s accused of murdering his wife, #SuzanneMorphew, last year. Today, we’ll learn if a judge thinks there’s enough evidence to go to trial. We’ll also find out if Barry will be able to bond out ahead of a potential trial.

I can't believe this is happening to me. I have waited for this day for 2 weeks 3 weeks, and I've got called into work! Please please please everyone keep posted I'm going to keep sneaking peeks at my phone.

We need you!

Is that not how it's done where you live? It's pretty common in the less populated counties here in California. I think Chaffee County will do what some other CO counties do and try to keep the same judge throughout. So far, the judge has seemed "victim friendly" (to the daughters), and the defense can't have much of an issue with him.

However, I do wonder if next up we'll see a request for a change of judge or venue, when Barry is bound over. I doubt either of those will happen - but it could definitely delay trial.

Barry has been in jail now for 4.5 months - and hunting season (with rifles) is coming up on Oct 1. He probably doesn't even have a window.



Fascinating that GD just happened to be glued to the scanner that day.

Isn't it though. Ya think Barry might've called Rambo, you know, while LE couldn't contact him on the way home?

They are working it out. Getting laptop connected. We should be good.

That is a relief . 7 minutes to go.

Quite a few people still waiting outside at the Courthouse.

I would pay to see his face when he hears he is not getting bond.

 

[OldCop]

That's right! Now I remember. That's why GD was there before BM was

You're right, he did hear it on the scanner. Thanks for reminding me.

Yes, GD heard it on the scanner because BM thought it was better to send a 70 woman to check on his wife than his 40 year old, 400 tours, best friend.

IT guy is stuck in traffic coming from Canyon City...

At least he can help himself to sleep at night by counting chipmunks.

I hope those chipmunks haunt him in his dreams!

I wonder if the Moorman's will be there?

 

[Lilypad13]

This should be your seat.

Yes Queen! Barry’s attorneys have arrived. My stomach is in knots.

 

[NoSI]

I wonder if the Moorman's will be there?

On WebEx... Not in person.
