Barry Morphine’s Attorney, David Beller told Fox News Digital that Morphue “maintains his innocence.”
“Nevertheless, the government allows its predetermined conclusion to lead its discovery for evidence,” Beller said. “The matter has not changed, and the result will not happen.”
For the 18th Judicial District Attorney Office in Colorado, a Colorado -based advocate and former Deputy District Attorney McClin in Colorado, Fox News Digital reported that the alleged relationship between Barry Morphue and Deer Trancrizer makes the case “very strong”.
“And so now Suzanne Morphine’s body discovery and of course forensic evidence is that we can see that this tranquilizer was actually found inside the remains of Suzanne Morphine,” McClin said. “And when I heard in the beginning, I was like, okay, okay, can be an explanation for him. But then you find out how rare this compound is, this tranquilizer.”

According to McClin, BAM deer tranquilizer, is a tightly regulated substance that is used in some conditions – not on humans.
“This is something made by a company. It is a highly regulated controlled substance that is usually used only by veterinarians or parks and wildlife officers,” he said. “And then you came to know that Barry Morphue is the only person in the region who has this recipe for this tranquilizer. Suddenly, it looks like a strong case against Barry Morphue.”
Although a corpse examination revealed the presence of BAM in his body in the declaration of April 29, 2024, it would be a year before Barry Morphue is rejoined. McCallin said that this can be explained by the 12th Judicial District Attorney Anne Kelly as a “method” in the handling of the case.
