The DNA is not very relevant. It is ridiculously minor. You can find it with Lauren Scharf and I believe Nate and others as I have said before repeatedly. You can believe what you like but if you haven't seen such OR read the AA then don't assume such.

To each their own but this sh*t doesn't even come CLOSE to the weight against Barry.

Barry Morphew murdered his wife Suzanne. In my very educated opinion on this case. Imo. Imho. Jmo. Etc.

And it sure the he77 wasn't Jeff Libler.

No offense but it is clear you haven't followed all nor has emu. I get it because I sure don't have the time these days to keep up with all. And I am not being a hypocrite as I will admit like in Delphi I haven't read the whole defense filing but in THIS case I have followed ALL.

And again to each their own and hugs and love ya but it is obvious neither you nor emu know what you are talking about!

I have butted heads on occasion with @Guess Who but that s just life and never is it personal, It is kind of fun in fact and then we end up in a Barbie massacre and having the time of our lives. We all love, agree and disagree but on this one she is right and she just read the AA and is the freshest on it. I read it back when but am not as fresh. And even aside from that from following from day one, BARRY killed SUZANNE. Of course you are entitled to your opinion. However you are questioning things that I believe ARE in this thead. As is the emu and he is going deep down a rabbit hole in a few cases lately.

I do have to chuckle though. A lot of back and forth and interest on this case EVEN if frustratingly repetitive pounding of the same thing.

Just a question, are you still on LIbler and if not, what made you drop taht?

We are discussing BM. Is there enough evidence to even arrest him again and prosecute? That AA is out of date and was before the remains were found in Moffat. The prosecution will have to prepare another AA now with enough evidence to rearrest him.

 

[Guess Who]

We already know it doesn't belong to the accused. That's enough for reasonable doubt. It's not the defense's job to solve the crime. That's for the prosecution.

I know I would be very, very pizzed at my attorneys if there was evidence that could even possibly put the blame on others if I was innocent and they just went "meh, not my job". They would be fired so fast and the fact that this is not happening speaks volumes. These people you are saying have no obligation literally have my life in their hands and they better be defending me with ALL they're might IF I'm not guilty. If I'm guilty, I'm hoping they do nothing, just like what is happening.
The " that isn't their job" is for the guilty.

 

[Cousin Dupree]

And they will explain as it HAS been and the jurors will get it as SOME of us do. Watch Lauren Scharf on STS I think it was all she could DO not to roll her eyes on the DNA tak when she knows it all SO WELL. I wish there was still an eye roll here but I think they took it away because someone abused it/used it too much... Just saying....

Dear Emu, you are going beyond. You are a defense's dream. Not reasonable doubt but give you any reason at ALL to go down a hole... Sorry but just sayin'...

I already said it's obvious he did it, but I want to know about DNA.

@Tresir it is the defenses job to follow up on that. The prosecution doesn't have to, but they need to explain why they just let it go.

 

[GrandmaBear]

But the more important thing is WHERE it was found and even more importantly, where it wasn't and how minute of a quantity it is or isn't. Those things are far more important in this case and those things have not been made public.

It is EXTREMELY minute per Lauren Scharf on STS. Lauren as we know ATTENDED all hearings, etc. Lauren explained it as WELL when all were going crazy over it back when and put my mind totally at ease over it. Back WHEN. I personally never went crazy over it but was starting o wonder if it was significant as SM and the news and the judge picked it up and RAN with it. TOTAL win for nasty old Iris. And here I am watching similar again.

 

[GrandmaBear]

That's how juries work though.

Ya know Barry took a buddy hunting SOUTH of Salida... That I think is news considering the recent find of SM SOUTH of Salida... It is in the AA but her find was only just recent. I WONDER if when pics hit of this if he went OMG that's where Barry took me hunting!

I don't know, just saying, there is a lot of new stuff, the DNA and Libler are old stuff. No offense.

 

[GrandmaBear]

Because I don't have the info as to where it was found, the quantity that was found, etc or I bet I could explain a lot of it. That info has not been released so I can't. The defense is making it sound like the prosecution totally bypassed it and not put it in discovery when it is right there in the AA and states that the only connecting dna between any of the items is SM,BM and one item one of the daughers. We all know the AA is just a basic rundown of the case and how they went about getting the info to arrest him. They aren't going to show their entire hand right now. But quantities and exact location of it is key here.

EXACTLY. It is in the AA and some are going on about it who have never read it. It was NOT ignored. And yeah, the DAUGHTER if anyone wants to start making a mountain out of a molehill about something.

How many times have I SAID that a video of Lauren's has it and that I believe of Nate's does too? Five? Ten? More?

Lauren was JUST on STS and you could SEE on her face when the subject came up but she was not going to derail someone else's show and this was like TODAY or yesterday. It is a MINUTE amount AND she referred to it not even as TOUCH DNA but TRANSFER.

AGAIN Lauren ATTENDED the hearings.

 

[GrandmaBear]

Lauren interviewed Barry. Lauren interviewed Puckett. Lauren and Sara put a LOT of work into this case. Lauren was actually threatened it seems which I am still waiting to hear about when this is all over one day.

 

[GrandmaBear]

We already know it doesn't belong to the accused. That's enough for reasonable doubt. It's not the defense's job to solve the crime. That's for the prosecution.

Sure on paper and in theory. Iris would have you believe they don't know how to open a file.

If I were her client and the defendant and paying her with SUZANNE'S money, she better damned well be finding out the answers for me! But oh, I forgot, she already knows it is a nothing burger and that's why it has went no further...

 

[GrandmaBear]

But Barry does get to share a gross kiss with her so that's worth it to him I'm sure.

 

[GrandmaBear]

My eyes can't unsee it and I shall forever blame them both for that.

In other news, Barry took a friend hunting south of Salida... Friend is a DEPUTY from IN...

 

[GrandmaBear]

Anywho, all in lightness. I can be a broken record too.

SM was FOUND south of Salida.

I HOPE and PRAY there is something to NAIL his ARSE on top of ALL they already have. Oh YES I DO.

JMO of course.

 

[GrandmaBear]

How does any of this change all his lies, it only adds to it imo. Not only that, they now have a body and they can't play their GONE GIRL game any longer, that one is eliminated. Your bet is as good as mine but my bet is he is going down. I really think it's pretty quiet on their front considering... The prosecution dismissed the case as the judge took away their experts. We now also have another jurisdiction AND a body.

Tresir believe what you want but Barry killed Suzanne. You won't see many cases I talk like this but in this one I will. Imho of course. Have to be careful as Barry is all about money and suing. Of COURSE I don't have much so there is that lol.

 

[GrandmaBear]

I had a NAP so I'm kind of wide awake. Just a warning...

 

[Tresir]

I already said it's obvious he did it, but I want to know about DNA.

@Tresir it is the defenses job to follow up on that. The prosecution doesn't have to, but they need to explain why they just let it go.

The prosecution did not reveal the DNA to the defence. That was why the case was dismissed.

I know I would be very, very pizzed at my attorneys if there was evidence that could even possibly put the blame on others if I was innocent and they just went "meh, not my job". They would be fired so fast and the fact that this is not happening speaks volumes.

If I'm guilty, I'm hoping they do nothing, just like what is happening.
The " that isn't their job" is for the guilty.

His attorneys were not aware of this DNA. Prosecutors held it back. It seems to me his attorneys have done their job pretty well up to now by getting him out of jail and getting the case dismissed.

Attorneys for Barry Morphew intend to sue prosecutors, investigators

Attorneys representing Barry Morphew intend to sue prosecutors, investigators for what they claim is unlawful arrest, malicious prosecution, and defamation, according to documents obtained by Denver7.

www.denver7.com

This link explains it.

"Attorneys claim investigators omitted crucial evidence in the case, including DNA evidence from an alleged sex offender, and engaged in “extreme and outrageous conduct.” "

"In the notice of claim filed by Morphew’s attorneys, they allege DNA evidence found in the glovebox of Suzanne’s car matches “the same profile as a single or multiple individuals across the country involved in sexual assault cases,” attorneys wrote in the letter.
Morphew’s attorneys contend after a year of having obtained the DNA evidence, Chafee County Deputy DA Jeff Lindsey followed up on an individual in Phoenix who appears to match the DNA profile found on Suzanne’s glovebox. But the Arizona individual refused to cooperate and retained a lawyer, according to the documents.
The DNA evidence was not brought up during a preliminary hearing and omitted from the affidavit for Morphew’s arrest, according to the legal papers filed by Morphew’s attorneys.
Attorneys provided other examples of alleged mishandling of the case. They claim the affidavit omits other evidence, including an alleged incident involving a tranquilizer dart.
On the afternoon of May 9, investigators allege in the affidavit, as Suzanne was messaging with Jeff Libler, the man with whom she had been having a multi-year affair, Morphew got back to their home and is thought by investigators to have used a tranquilizer dart to incapacitate Suzanne around 2:44 p.m.
Morphew’s attorneys claim when investigators discovered the dart rifle, it was inoperable and had not been used in a long time. They allege this information, and the DNA evidence allegedly found on the glovebox, was purposely omitted from the arrest affidavit."

It is not about what I believe, but what can be proved. ATM the new jurisdiction haven't even charged him and the remains showed up somewhere that they have no record he was near. They have to begin all over again starting with Suzanne's remains. That's why I am not wasting my time looking at an invalid AA.

 

[Tresir]

I had a NAP so I'm kind of wide awake. Just a warning...

Go for it LOL.

 

[Tresir]

Just came across this Huff Post article that looks to be a good summary of where the case stands ATM.

Suzanne Morphew’s Husband Says He Didn’t Kill Her. Now Her Body Has Been Found.

It’s unclear whether the remains will lead authorities to try to prosecute Barry Morphew again for murder — or will point to another potential suspect.

www.huffingtonpost.co.uk

The paragraph right at the end is interesting.

"The Courtroom Drama​

In spite of what seemed like reams of evidence, the case was fraught from the start. The first judge in Morphew’s murder trial recused himself over a conflict of interest. His replacement imposed heavy sanctions against prosecutors for their “negligent, bordering on reckless” pattern of not turning over evidence to Morphew’s defense team.
Notably, they did not tell the defense that in addition to finding Suzanne’s driver’s license and credit cards and cycling accessories in her Range Rover, investigators also found male DNA on the glove compartment that partially matched samples from three unsolved sexual assaults in different states across the country — evidence that Barry’s attorneys said proved his innocence.
Barry was also ruled out as a contributor of DNA on the glove compartment and on Suzanne’s bike.
As punishment for those failures, the judge barred 12 of the prosecution’s 14 expert witnesses — in DNA, vehicle data and cellphone data analysis — from testifying during the jury trial — essentially excluding the timeline information that the prosecution said in a court filing was “critical” to their case.
Prosecutors moved to dismiss the charges against Barry but insisted in their motion that they were “close to finding” Suzanne’s body, which they believed was located in a “remote and mountainous region” under 5 feet of snow.
It would be more than a year before her remains were found, 40 miles south of the Morphews’ home — a location that defense lawyers noted never came up in any of the data that investigators had collected on Barry.
In May, Barry made his own set of accusations against the prosecutors and investigators who had tried to convict him of murder. The 185-page federal civil rights lawsuit said his name and reputation had been “irreparably tarnished” by what he described as a malicious prosecution. Chaffee County District Attorney Linda Stanley has previously been sanctioned for violating court procedures, briefly lost her license and is currently being investigated for misconduct. (Just last week, her law license was suspended again because she failed to complete her continuing legal education requirements.)"

It's not about belief but proof. The prosecution must do their job properly or they won't succeed.

And no, I haven't discounted JL.

 

[Tresir]

where did I ever say everybody would have a match to a violent criminal? You asked if I would and I said I would and how. Never did I say everyone would.

You still haven't answered my question about what possible question they couldn't ask you just because you have an attorney present.

I think when you said you have a match to a violent criminal, it was taken as if everyone does. I mean we would not know that anyway, even if we check our own DNA on an ancestry site, would we? Only LE would have access to that info. How did you find out you had a match to a violent criminal? Did you know about that already?

LE can ask any question they like. But you don't have to answer any. Having a lawyer present doesn't alter that right.

 

[Tresir]

I already said it's obvious he did it, but I want to know about DNA.

@Tresir it is the defenses job to follow up on that. The prosecution doesn't have to, but they need to explain why they just let it go.

I guess they would have followed up if they had known about it. But the prosecution didn't tell them.
