The Colorado district attorney remembered for helming the murder prosecution of Barry Morphew in the Mother’s Day 2020 disappearance and death of his wife Suzanne Morphew only to drop the case, face a lawsuit, and face disciplinary proceedings has “gravely abused her position of trust” and should be disbarred for misconduct, a board has determined.

11th Judicial District Attorney Linda Stanley got herself in hot water by going on YouTube channels to talk about the Suzanne Morphew case — in which there are still no new arrests despite the discoveries of her body and “unknown male DNA” — but also by going on the news and speaking about a case involving a boyfriend and girlfriend who had not yet gone to trial for the alleged Motel 6 murder of a 10-month-old baby boy.
