JUST IN: The Colorado man once accused of killing his missing wife filed a federal civil rights lawsuit Tuesday alleging the now-dropped criminal prosecution violated his constitutional rights.
The Colorado man once accused of killing his missing wife filed a federal civil rights lawsuit Tuesday alleging the now-dropped criminal prosecution violated his constitutional rights.
Barry Morphew, 55, is seeking $15 million for what he says was a malicious criminal prosecution in his wife’s disappearance. He is suing Chaffee County, the sheriff’s office and board of commissioners, 11th Judicial District Attorney Linda Stanley and members of her staff, as well as Colorado Bureau of Investigation and FBI agents.
Morphew claims in the 185-page complaint that authorities conspired to wrongly arrest him, fabricated evidence, concealed exculpatory evidence and conducted a reckless investigation that led to Morphew’s being wrongly held in jail and prosecuted.that his attorney, Iris Eytan, lodged last month against Stanley and several members of her office in which Eytan accused the prosecutors of misconduct and unethical behavior during the murder case.
“Barry suffered the indignity of being wrongfully arrested, jailed and prosecuted for a crime he did not commit,” Eytan said in a statement Tuesday. “We will not rest until those responsible for this miscarriage of justice are held accountable.” Morphew was charged in May 2021 with first-degree murder in the death of his wife, Suzanne Morphew, who disappeared from the family’s Chaffee County home in May 2020. Her body was never found.
