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.

The defence didn't know about the DNA in the car. The prosecution withheld it.

 

[Guess Who]

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.

Arrests can take a lonnnnnng time so it only makes sense that a re-arrest would too. Pretty sure it's imminent but just not sure of when.

 

[Guess Who]

The defence didn't know about the DNA in the car. The prosecution withheld it.

So you are saying that his defense never even read the AA? That's what you are definitely saying since it's in it plain as day

 

[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.

By going by this theory of it's not the defense's job, why would any defense put up any witnesses or professionals that dispute the prosecution's theory? That makes absolutely no sense. Why would anybody at all need to hire a defense attorney if their job is not to defend you? Should the defendant just sit at the table and take it without an attorney? What's the defense attorney's job if it isn't to defend their client?

Iris didn't pursue it as there isn't any reason to and she knows it. You would also think Barry would insist she do so no?

 

[Guess Who]

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.

Because I know that person.

 

[GrandmaBear]

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


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."

The case was dismissed by the prosecution. Also you are quoting the defense garbage. Finally, no one has to nor puts all that in an AA. An AA is reason TO ARREST, not reason not to and never contains all. This is so skewed by the defense and you are buying it and it isn't funny.

And an AA only provides a very small portion of their evidence. It's basically the Cliff Notes version of events.

Some are buying it hook, line and sinker. Just as the defense dreamed.

 

[GrandmaBear]

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.

The AA contains facts that will come into any future charge.

The AA has interviews, statements, and a ton of things relating to the investigation into SM's disappearance. If YOU think Barry is innocent then you should know what he has said and lied about, etc. and what statements he has made. You have went on about Jeff Libler without ever reading how and why he was cleared. I get a lack of time, Lord knows I have none but you take positions and state things without admitting you don't KNOW what those who have read it DO KNOW.

All said and meant with respect but you are not on solid ground as you haven't read it or apparently followed the case. You won't watch a solid recap by anyone solid as it is a video and you like print and the AA is print but you won't read that. You'll post tons of other things in print though. Have you read them all? I sure haven't.

You sit here and provide a defense thing but dismiss any prosecutorial thing. There were TONS of interviews and a NUMBER of LE involved. And more.

Just this morning, before work, I read 20 pages, maybe 19, of the charging document you posted in LISK. I may not get back to it who knows. How many did you read? And I am not the self proclaimed print person, my life these days only allows for good solid recaps by those I've found that I trust to share all sides and what is relevant.

Anywho, again no offense, I am sure you know that but just sayin'...

Who says they have no record he was near there? They very well could have and not put it in the AA because at the time they didn't think it was relevant. The AA is still valid. The facts in it have not changed one little bit. The only thing that has changed is she has now been found. Nothing changes in the original AA. Nothing. Any new one will just have more info in it. They very much did the right thing in dropping charges when they did or he might have went through the entire trial without her being found and the defense still shouting "no body - no proof". They sure can't do that now and they very well might have data showing he was there in that very spot and now they can tie it all together.

 

[Guess Who]

Iris didn't pursue it as there isn't any reason to and she knows it. You would also think Barry would insist she do so no?

If you were innocent, wouldn't you insist on it? Of course you would! We all would. Otherwise why hire an attorney at all?

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.)"

I have to wonder did she leave her things in her vehicle after veggie soup with Barry or before? After steak with Barry or before? After sex with Barry or before? AFter they ALLEGEDLY went to Moonlight Pizza or before? It must have been after he left on an UNPLANNED work trip without the necessary tools EVER to Broomfield right? I could go on forever but I have to work and have spent way too much time on all these cases and on here already.

I have said it before and will again, I am dug in on this case. Hard. Nothing will ever change my mind. I follow a TON of cases but this one is the top.

 

[GrandmaBear]

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.

Lol. Okay. You go find a case on Libler, good luck with that one.

You are talking not belief but proof and then you mention Libler. That's a belief for you Tresir, there is NO proof against Libler but thee is against Barry. That's a tad bit hypocritical.

and in the AA Libler is DOCUMENTED as being cleared and they show the proof right there on it.

It wasn't in the AA apparently. That's why the judge got rid of the prosecution experts. I have already posted this at post 1494. Here it is again.

The AA is full of Barry playing phone and GPS games and such being on/off AND in airplane mode. BM''s **** doesn't add up, ANY of it, JL's all DOES. As far as what can be proven, NOTHING about JL can AND they went down that road, they went down ALL roads.

 

[GrandmaBear]

I am not even sure how far behind in this thread I am or where things are falling. This day is not starting well for me. I have to go anyhow and am the least prepared for work I have EVER been.

 

[GrandmaBear]

I am in a one bedroom small apt. and can't find my lunch cooler ANYWHERE. IT is ALWAYS on teh counter in the kitchen!! The ice pack is in the freezer so I know it isn't in the car...!

I am extremely stressed, about a LOT of things, I NEED this day off and not a work week ahead of me. BADLY.

I need help, I need a fricking assistant or something. I CANNOT take care of all the things I need to or keep things up.

That AA is all invalid now the case has been dismissed. But the prosecution missed out a lot of evidence from the AA according to the link I posted and that is why the judge threw out the prosecution experts which then led to the withdrawal of the case.
