Indicted for the first-degree murder of his wife, Suzanne, Barry Morphew has been held in jail with a three million dollar cash-only bond.
After turning down Morphew’s request to lower his bond to a $500 thousand dollar cash-only bond, Judge Amanda Hopkins changes the bond to allow Morphew to use a ‘surety,’ a bail bonds company, meaning Morphew would only have to come up with 10 to 15 percent of the $3 million.
Friends and supporters provide the funds, and bail bondsman Richard Jordan of Denver’s A-1 Bail Bonds gets Morphew out of jail to await his murder trial.
Morphew’s bond restrictions begin with a GPS monitor, a ban on leaving Colorado, and surrendering his passport. He is also under strict house arrest and can only leave his home for medical emergencies or meetings with attorneys. He’s not allowed to consume alcohol or controlled substances.
There is a mandatory protection order barring him from contacting witnesses or the victim’s family, except his daughters, one of whom was with the bail bondsman to get Morphew out of jail. He cannot possess firearms or dangerous weapons, and he must only use his legal name.
