Patrick W. Murphy Chief Judge, 11" Judicial District Chaffee County, Colorado Case No. 21CR78 ORDER RE: REQUEST FOR EXPANDED MEDIA COVERAGE | t > 7 - This matter comes before the Court for consideration of numerous requests for expanded media coverage of the advisement scheduled for May 6, 2021. Having reviewed the requests, having heard from the parties and after considering applicable authority, the Court finds, concludes and orders as follows: Standard for Authorizing Expanded Media Coverage Chapter 38, Rule 3 of the Colorado Court Rules provides the standard for authorizing expanded media coverage. In determining whether expanded media coverage should be permitted, a judge shall consider the following factors: (A) Whether there is a reasonable likelihood that expanded media coverage would interfere with the rights of the parties to a fair trial; (B) Whether there is a reasonable likelihood that expanded media coverage would unduly detract from the solemnity, decorum and dignity of the court; and (C) Whether expanded media Coverage would create adverse effects which would be greater than those caused by traditional media coverage. Discussion/Analysis Having considered the above listed three factors, the Court finds that expanded media coverage should be permitted, with reasonable restrictions, consistent with Chapter 38, Rule 3 of the Colorado Court Rules Specifically. the Court concludes that expanded media coverage will not interfere with the rights of the parties to a fair trial. The disappearance of Suzanne Morphew. the subsequent investigation and the recent arrest of the Defendant have already garnered significant media attention--in Chaffee County, in Colorado and nationwide. Allowing the Defendant's advisement to be filmed will no, in Court's view, significantly increase the media's or the Public’s awareness of, or attention to this case. + from the The Court concludes that expanded media coverage will not unduly detra solemnity, decorum or dignity of the court. See restrictions on expanded media coverage below The Court concludes that expanded media coverage will not create adverse effects which ‘would be greater than those caused by traditional media coverage. Again, there will be Significant limitations set on the single camera that will be allowed in the courtroom, Finally, the Court is mindful that the inception of this case coincides with the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, Due to local public health orders, social distancing of at least six feet for those who do not live together must be enforced in the courtroom, This severely limits the number of people who can enter and remain in the courtroom (the gallery is limited to 8 individuals if not from the same household). ‘The Court will give priority to seating members of the Morphew family and members of the defense/prosecution teams, It is quite possible that only a very few members of the general public will be allowed in the courtroom to observe the Proceedings in person (although the proceedings will be broadcast via WebEx), Because public, ‘n-Person attendance of the advisement will be severely limited, the Court further concludes that expanded media coverage of the proceedings is appropriate The Court has been made aware that the Morphew children are likely o attend and make statement at the hearing. The Court does not want images of the Morphew children, one of whom is a minor, to be recorded or broadcast nor does the Court believe there is a viable, recognizable reason to allow recording of their images, Expanded Media Coverage Restrictions Expanded media coverage shall be conducted only under the following conditions. The Court maintains final approval of all arrangements: '- Video. The Court has accepted the expanded media request of KUSA—simply because the Court received that request before all others.

This pleading requests the Affidavit for Arrest and Arrest Warrant remain sealed and access to the public denied until, at a minimum, the proof evident presumption great hearing and that all factual averments in pleading be sealed or redacted based on substantial interest of the alleged victims, the substantial interest of Mr. Morphew, the substantial interest of fair and impartial justice, and the substantial interest of the community, . Colo, R. Crim. P. $5.1, adopted December 17, 2020, effective May 10, 2021, authorizes the Court to limit public access in certain enumerated situations. ». Colo. R. Crim, P. $5.1 (a)(2) states that “a party may file a motion requesting that the court limit public access to a court record previously filed.” (Part (a)(1) addresses motions not previously filed but is substantially similar to Part (a)(2)). Colo. R. Crim. P. $5.1 (a)(2) states that “an opposing party wishing to object to the motion must file a response within 14 days after service of the motion unless otherwise directed by the court.” . Colo, R. Crim. P. $5.1 (a)(3) states that “a motion to limit public access shall identify the court record or any part of the court record the moving party wishes to make ina ssible to the public, state the reasons for the request, and specify how long the information identified should remain inaccessible to the public.” 9. Colo. R. Crim. P. 55.1 Part (a)(6) requires the Court, when granting a request to seal, to issue a written order in which it: @ )) (at) specifically identifies one or more substantial interests served by making the court record inaccessible to the public or by allowing only a redacted copy of it to be accessible to the public; finds that no less restrictive means other than making the record inaccessible to the public or allowing only a redacted copy of it to be accessible to the public exists to achieve or protect any substantial interests identified; and concludes that any substantial interests identified override the presumptive public access to the court record or to an unredacted copy of it. 10. The rule contains certain procedural safeguards and requirements: a. Crim, P, $8.1 (a)(1) essentially requires that all pleadings by all parties regarding limiting public access must be filed as suppressed filings, which themselves will not be subject to public access. The rule states, “upon receiving the motion, the clerk shall make the subject court record inaccessible to the public pending the court's resolution of the motion, except that if'a party seeks to make inaccessible to the public only parts of the subject court record, then the party must also submit a redacted version of the court record with the motion and the clerk shall make the redacted version of the court record accessible to the public without undue delay. The clerk shall also make the motion and the response inaccessible to the public pending the court's resolution of the motion, except that, in its discretion, the court may order that the motion and the response, or redacted versions of the motion and the response, be accessible to the public during that timeframe.” I, SUBSTANTIAL INTEREST JUSTIFYING THE REQUEST TO SEAL THE AFFIDAVIT FOR ARREST WARRANT A. The unusual and inflammatory nature of the Arrest Affidavit L1, The Arrest Affidavit is unlike any other arrest affidavit counsel has ever reviewed. 12. The Arrest Affidavit is one hundred and forty nine pages long. It is written in an argumentative style; itis filled with irrelevant and salacious information; itis filled with inadmissible hearsay, opinions, and gossip. It is nothing more than an attempt to engage in prosecution through outright character assassination and by heightening public condemnation of Mr. Morphew. It reads more like an article written for a tabloid, intended to attract the attention of the media, and to convict based on inadmissible evidence, character assassination, rumors, and heightened public condemnation. The affidavit is inconsistent with a sworn statement of facts as, required by Crim. P. 4(a)(2). 13, Some of the lowlights of the affidavit include the following: “Barry's statements about his actions on the days before and after Suzanne's disappearance have been proven to be false and misleading by this investigation.” (This a conclusion rather than a fact, which neither the prosecution, nor a prosecution witness would not be allowed to utter at trial See Aff. p. 1; see also Wilson v. People, 743 P.2d 415 (Colo. 1987); Crider v. People, 186 P.3d 39, 41 (Colo. 2008)), b. “Suzanne's bicycle and helmet were recovered close to the Morphew residence, discarded before Barry left town in the early morning hours of May 10, 2020,” (This a conclusion and theory, rather than a fact. See id.). See Aff. pl c. Explicit recitations concerning the alleged victim's sexual affair with a man in Michigan . “Barry was shown the photos of nude women and sexual encounter dating sites recovered from his cell phone. He said he never had a dating website and the images and websites recovered must have been from pop-up ads when he was viewing pornography. Agents agreed such images and dating sites could have come from Barry viewing porn on his phone.” See Aff. P. 110, (inadmissible under CRE 401 and 403), “From December 2020 through April 2021, numerous Salida residents have reported that Darke is in a relationship with Barry. Their relationship is reported to date back to July 2020, though investigators have not confirmed that.” See Aff. P. 124, (inadmissible under CRE 401 and 403). £ The Affidavit contains details of statements made by Mr. Morphew to law enforcement on 1/27/2021, 1/28/2021, 2/28/2021, 3/1/2021, 3/5/2021, 3/10/2021, 4/5/2021, 4/22/2021. These statements were all obtained after law enforcement was aware Mr. Morphew was represented by counsel. See Aff. p. 55-56. g. The affidavit includes an incredible amount of information which has no relevancy to the case, which is pure inadmissible character assassination, and which will likely prejudice any and all potential jurors who review the affidavit For example a complaint that Mr. Morphew sold his business in 2018 before he moved to Colorado and the purchaser thought he had been fooled by Mr. Morphew into a bad business deal. See Aff. p.56. “Wimmer told Kyle to be careful because he had seen a lot of Barry deals go south. Kyle and his friend became defensive. Wimmer told them, “You are dealing with the devil.” See Aff. p. 57. “When Wimmer learned Suzanne was missing, he Googled Barry and read about all that was going on with her disappearance. Wimmer was intrigued by it and saw the Tyson Draper video. After Wimmer watched it he concluded Barry is “guilty, for sure.”" See Aff. p.57. “Wimmer said that Barry thinks he is a really good liar and he is not, Barry is the kind of person that will just stand there and “tell you something you know damn well is not true.’ Wimmer would ofien just listen and not contradict because he just did not want the conflict with Barry. Wimmer sent Barry a series of texts on September 23, 2020, accusing Barry of killing Suzanne and telling Barry he would rot in hell.” See Aff. p. 57. The affidavit contains the word “guilty” 14 times. The word innocent is never used once. The affidavit contains speculative guesses by witnesses numerous times. ‘The affidavit actually discusses evidence identified as rumors. See Aff. p.31 ‘The affidavit includes the height, weight and dates of birth of Mr. Morphew's minor daughter and his 21-year-old daughter even though their physical description has nothing whatsoever to do with the case. p.1. Release of this information would be in violation of C.R.S. § 24-4.1-303 (2) (“Upon request ofa victim, all correctional officials shall keep confidential the address, telephone number, place of employment, or other personal information of such victim or members of such victim’s immediate family.”). “Barry was asked to voluntarily submit to a polygraph examination, which he declined and said he would think about it, saying he ‘didn’t want to do anything that wasn't 100% accurate;’ he also said they ‘weren't admissible in court.”” This was included in the affidavit, which was reviewed by the District Attorney's Office, despite such evidence being inadmissible in Court. See Aff. P21; see also Mills v. People, 139 Colo. 397, 339 P.2d 998 (1959) (prohibits introduction in a criminal trial of evidence of an accused's refusal to submit to a lie detector test) Alleges that “[o]n January 7, 2020, Barry's phone searched ‘how to make a sible under CRE 401, 402, and girl orgasm utube.”” See Aff. p. 32. (Inadmis 403). n. Alleges that “[o]n January 24, 2020, Barry's phone searched ‘3rd base! My first hand job: Dear Teen Diary, 9th Grade, Entry 14 - You Tube.” See Aff. p. 32, (Inadmissible under CRE 401, 402, and 403). ©. Whether Mr. and Ms. Morphew would have orgasms every time they had sexual intercourse. See Aff. p.119. (Inadmissible under CRE 401, 402, and 403). p. SA Grusing said that in doing the victimology work on Suzanne, investigators know that was not the only time she came at Barry and that when Suzanne got frustrated, she would physically come at Barty. See Aff. p. 64, (Inadmissible under CRE 702). B. Protect the alleged victims [— and&— - 6 14 Pis y and . is _ . The nature of this case, including the disappearance of their Mother and the arrest of their Father, has resulted in extreme emotional distress. Both Tid pose release of the Affidavit noting that the impact would be “devastating,” and that they “can’t even begin to explain the extent of the emotional impact release of the affidavit would have.” Sealing the Affidavit will protect and hone; “wand _B consistent with the legislative and voter intent behind the Victim’s Rights Act. See Colorado Constitution, Article II, Section 16a — Rights of Crime Victims; see also C.R.S. § 24- 4.1-301 (“It is the intent of this part 3, therefore, to assure that all victims of and witnesses to crimes are honored and protected by law enforcement agencies, prosecutors, and judges.”) 16. Given the outrageous, salacious, and tabloid style of the Affidavit its release would violate(__B and right to be treated with “fairness, respect and dignity, and to be free from intimidation, harassment, or abuse, throughout the criminal justice process.” See id.; CR.S. § 24-4.1-302,5, C. The Affidavit if released would impede the ongoing investigations of the defense 17. Mr. Morphew is entitled to effective assistance of counsel, which includes the duty of counsel to investigate the matter in search of mitigation and exculpatory evidence. See 6th and 14th Amendments to the United States Constitution 18. As of the filing of this motion the defense has not had an opportunity to engage in any ‘meaningful investigations. Furthermore the defense has not yet received mandatory disclosures under C.R. Crim, P. 16, The defense investigation is ongoing and release of the Affidavit prior to defense investigation is likely to negatively impact that investigation. First, because of the tabloid style nature of the affidavit itis likely to bias any potential witnesses prior to defense interviews resulting in a refusal to cooperate or even worse an attempt to fabricate evidence or statements based on the review of the affidavit. 19. The prosecution cited an ongoing investigation as a basis for sealing the affidavit in their motion filed May 5, 2021. The prosecution has had almost a year to investigate the matter, while keeping the evidence sealed. Mr. Morphew is asking for the same opportunity as a matter of due process and basic faimess D. The Affidavit, if released by the Court unopposed by the District Attorney, is a potential violation of Colo. R. Prof. Cond. 3.8 (f): Special Responsibilities of a Prosecutor 20. The affidavit was signed by Alex Walker, Chief Investigator for District Attorney Linda Stanley, the District Attorney for the 11" Judicial District. Mr, Walker affirms that the affidavit was reviewed by District Attommey Linda Stanley and Senior Deputy District Attorney Jeff Lindsey prior to its filing with the Court, 21. Colo. R. Prof. Cond. 3.8 (f) “Special Responsibilities of a Prosecutor” states: “[E]xcept for statements that are necessary to inform the public of the nature and extent of the prosecutor's action and that serve a legitimate law enforcement purpose, refrain from making extrajudicial comments that have a substantial likelihood of heightening public condemnation of the accused unless such comments are permitted under Rule 3.6(b) or 3.6(c), and exercise reasonable care to prevent investigators, law enforcement personnel, employees or other persons assisting or associated with the prosecutor in a criminal case from making an extrajudicial statement that the prosecutor would be prohibited from making under Rule 3.6 or this Rule.” 22. The inflammatory, salacious, and inadmissible nature of the statements in the Affidavit, as approved and endorsed by District Attorney Linda Stanley would potentially constitute a violation of Colo. R. Prof. Cond. 3.8 (f) “Special Responsibilities of a Prosecutor” and as such the prosecution should also be asking the Court not to release the affidavit to the public. Such a release would be providing extrajudicial comments that would have a substantial likelihood of heightening publie condemnation of Mr. Morphew, which is the clear intent of the affidavit. 10 E. Preserve the right to a fair trial by impartial jurors 23. The Sixth Amendment to the United States Constitution and the Colorado Constitution guarantee the rights of a person accused of a crime to have his or her case heard by an impartial jury, by independent people from the surrounding community who are willing to decide the case based only on the evidence. 24, The Affidavit is argumentative and salacious, iti filled with gossip, rumors, and information that will be inadmissible at trial. 25. The release of the Affidavit will create, consistent with its intended prosecutorial purpose, significant condemnation and bias in the local community and across the state of Colorado. Potential jurors will be flooded with biases and inflammatory information that will not be admissible at trial—bells that cannot be un-rung. Release of the Affidavit will negatively impact Mr. Morphew’s right to an impartial jury and fair trial by independent people from the surrounding community who are willing to decide the case based only on the evidence. FUTURE PLEADINGS 26. As this issue could reoccur if pleadings in the future simply restate the same inflammatory facts stated in the Affidavit, the defense moves for further orders. 27. The defense requests that all motions which contain non-publicly known factual information either be filed as suppressed motions or be filed as a public pleading with a suppressed supplement setting forth the non-publiely known facts, 1 28. The defense requests that suppressed motions be kept as non-public pleadings until defense investigations are complete, until after the proof evident presumption great hearing, or until a verdict is reached in the case. CONCLUSION 29. Mr. Morphew has specifically identified more than one substantial interest served by making the court record inaccessible until either proof evident presumption great hearing or until a verdict is reached: 1) the unusual and inflammatory nature of the arrest affidavit; 2) to protect the alleged victims {_ 1S OF 3) to allow the ongoing defense investigation to continue unimpeded; 4) to prevent a potential violation of Colo. R. Prof. Cond. 3.8 (f); and 5) to preserve Mr. Morphew’s Tight to a fair trial by impartial jurors from the surrounding community, 30. Given the nature of the Affidavit, no less restrictive means would achieve or protect any substantial interests identified, 31. The nature and extent of the substantial interests identified override the presumptive Public access to the court record or to an unredacted copy of it, especially if public access is only limited concerning the affidavit and until the proof evident presumption great hearing and defense investigation can be completed.
