Judge Orders Murder Suspect Barry Morphew Confined to Home After CBS Colorado Report About Hit-and-Run
Prosecutors say video shows Morphew hit two vehicles, offered $300 and left the scene, raising concerns he could flee the murder case.
- On Wednesday, District Court Judge Amanda Hopkins ordered murder suspect Barry Morphew to remain in his home at all times following his alleged involvement in an August 26 hit-and-run incident in Denver.
- Hopkins reviewed video footage of the incident, concluding the driver was "very clearly the defendant" as footage shows the suspect driving aggressively, striking two vehicles, and refusing to identify himself.
- The suspect reportedly offered the other driver $300 in cash and attempted to buff out scratches with a T-shirt, while driving a vehicle bearing an Indiana license plate he is accused of using on multiple vehicles.
- Twelfth Judicial District Attorney Anne Kelly filed a motion late Wednesday to modify bond conditions, arguing the incident demonstrates a "heightened flight risk" while Morphew remains on $3 million bail.
- Under the new order, Morphew must stay home "at all times," with exceptions only for medical emergencies requiring an ambulance, and a hearing is expected next week to address the alleged bond violation.
