Help give Suzanne Morphew back her voice (and all the other Suzannes)
The Issue
RE:2022CR47 People of the State of Colorado v. Barry Lee Morphew
Judge Lama (Colorado11th Judicial) recently made the decision to disallow any testimony regarding Domestic Abuse/Violence in 2022CR47 People of the State of Colorado v. Barry Lee Morphew. The Arrest Affidavit for Mr. Morphew has been made public, and includes text messages from the victim (Suzanne Morphew) indicating domestic abuse, statements from one of the couple's daughters that indicate she observed domestic abuse in the home, statements from friends and family members of Suzanne Moorman Morphew that indicate they had concerns regarding Domestic Abuse, and statements from Barry Morphew (the accused) which appear to corroborate Domestic Abuse.
The decision by Judge Lama was concerning enough, as it could be cited in future to exclude such testimony in future cases as well, but it then became known that the ex-wife of Judge Lama is an advocate of Suzanne Morphew and victims of Domestic abuse. She also is a member of the Gym that the defendant, Barry Morphew, belonged to.
There appears to be a conflict of interest for Judge Lama. Please look into this issue and if Judge Lama has a conflict of interest, remove him from this case.
