Barry Morphew, 53, charged with first-degree murder in his wife Suzanne Morphewâs death, appeared in 11th Judicial District Court Thursday morning for an advisement of his rights.
Eleventh Judicial District Chief Judge Patrick Murphy addressed objections to an earlier issued order to allow expanded media coverage in the form of a camera in the court room at least for this proceeding.

Morphew is being held without bond at Chaffee County Detention Center and as such is being represented by the Public Defenderâs office.
