Morphew prosecution team describes confusion over leadership in doomed case

The exchange was part of a disciplinary hearing in which 11th Judicial District Attorney Linda Stanley could get disbarred, censured or acquitted.

DENVER — An investigator and an attorney who left the 11th Judicial District's prosecution team that tried to prosecute the Barry Morphew case said they grew frustrated with a case that was floating along without leadership, even up to the final days before a scheduled murder trial that never happened.

"It was pretty darn bad," said former investigator Alex Walker.

"Who was in charge of the trial?" asked Office of Attorney Regulation Counsel panel member Byron Large.

"I have no idea," responded Walker.

The exchange happened on Monday, part of a disciplinary hearing, in which 11th Judicial District Attorney Linda Stanley could get disbarred, publicly or privately censured, or acquitted. She is accused of professional misconduct associated with the Morphew case. Complaints filed against her claim she had "continual discovery violations and was a poor leader."
