CO CO - Suzanne Morphew, 49, Chaffee Co, 10 May 2020 #81 *arrest*

[Megnut]

Barry didn't text any Elk, bear, deer or chipmunks before he killed them either.

He didn't want Suzanne to know his intention.

His defense is offensive.

What a crappy defense. Where'd they get this guy?

 

[girlhasnoname]

yes, there was. his co-workers said he was obsessed with watching those cameras IIRC

yep MG said he was constantly on them

Defense turn: Attorney Connolly is refuting that May 6 is a "Chilling day" like the state is trying to say. He said The murder didn't happen on May 6. May 8 was a fine night according to texts from #SuzanneMorphew & Jeff Libler. Went to town, looked at real estate.

Maybe Barry never showed up home on the 8th, leaving Suzanne to communicate with Jeff. Barry was probably busy with the bobcat or readying his plan on the evening of the 8th.

. . . Getting nervous.
Up at 04:30am for me over here. Too anxious to get up and make coffee, so just tucked in with the iPad to scroll and hope, along with you all!

Just can't imagine BM walking away.
Just, NO!!!

Why do the defence now need an extra person ?

"There is no motive... just speculation." There isn't proof of the opportunity to kill #SuzanneMorphew and dispose of her. Attorney Connolly added the state gave offensive redirect of hunting her down like an animal. Now the theory is that he carried a syringe, not a gun.

There is no proof of the opportunity to kill and dispose of her body?? IMO that is one thing there is proof of!

Maybe he can’t afford Dru and Iris any longer.

 

[COHinkyMeter]

Why didn’t they mention the game camera removal during the ph? The removals seem like a big piece of evidence.

IANAL, but is it possible, that since the judge knows what is in the AA, he wanted to give the prosecution one more opportunity to bring this out (removing of the game cameras) in the PH, to help justify a ruling to proceed to trial?

@LaurenScharfTV

Now he is giving Top 10 reasons the state vs. #BarryMorphew had their investigation as result given. 1. DNA no dispute that matched in 3 unsolved sex assaults 2. Can't account for 18 miles, Defense says they can with Salida Spa 3. Jeff Libler (Didn't come forward)

Is there an app on his phone that showed the activity on the cameras? Maybe they suddenly became unavailable and they know where BM was...just speculating.

Previous info we had said that his coworkers said that BM constantly watched his game cameras. He probably had at least some of them aimed at his house. Imagine how he felt if he saw SM sending the nude photos on her phone and they did go to him?

 

[Megnut]

They gonna call him ineffective counsel later, as grounds to appeal?

Barry had the means, the motive and the time .... as well as time to stage....

[LaborDayRN]

I wish I had set a timer at the beginning of the defense statement. Are we done yet?

 

[DizzyB]

Turning off the cameras certainly is premeditation. What would be the purpose of turning off/removing cameras-and what are the odds-the one weekend that they might be needed to see what happened to your “missing’ wife? Ok.

 

[Alethea]

Is the Judge going to issue a written order? Read it from the bench? Just give his opinion and write an order later?

What the heck is he talking about? He says there is no proof of the 'opportunity to kill and dispose of her?' He had lots of opportunities. They lived together-ALONE. In a remote house. THat's why he removed the cameras nearby.

And saying it was a syringe instead of a gun? No one said 'instead of.'

Connelly also says at that time of the year, the ground is frozen but the prosecution claims Barry disposed of Suzanne's body. "The investigation did not meet the standard, because they were trying to trick Barry into admission," he says.

Yeah .. like seriously he thinks murderers send a message before killing someone ?? Would have been funny if it's not outright offensive

Defense says after the "I'm done" text #BarryMorphew didn't respond with violence. There was no evidence of domestic violence. He didn't say he was going to kill her.

__________________________

BM responded to SM's divorce news as we expected from a narc. On May 6, he threatened suicide. That did not get a response from SM. Then he proceeded to love bomb SM and play nice -- going to see real estate with her, pizza. Inviting SM out for a hike on Saturday. On Saturday, BM made the ultimate gesture to SM by proposing to take the afternoon off from work. However, it was all a plan not to get caught! A plan that failed. MOO
