Two more attorneys involved in the prosecution of Barry Morphew, the man accused of killing his wife, allegedly engaged in misconduct when they withheld evidence and investigated the judge after unfavorable rulings.

Suzanne Morphew went missing in May 2020 from her Chaffee County home. The 11th Judicial District Attorney’s office about a year later charged Morphew, 56, with first-degree murder despite her body not yet being discovered.

A complaint filed last week by the Supreme Court of Colorado’s Office of Attorney Regulation Council says prosecutors Mark Hurlbert and Robert Weiner schemed with their boss, District Attorney Linda Stanley, to go after trial Judge Ramsey Lama, who had dinged them for not submitting evidence and information about experts they were planning to use at trial to the defense in a timely manner.
