Latest update from the last status conference, from the Mountain Mail, link and text below:

https://www.themountainmail.com/news/morphew-hearing-livestream/article_d54217f1-fc78-4c8f-a603-ab878e42f65f.html

Another all-virtual status conference for the pretrial for Barry Morphew, formerly of Maysville, happened May 19. 
The conference lasted less than 20 minutes. Presiding over the entire trial is 12th Judicial District Court Chief Judge Amanda Hopkins of Alamosa, who asked counsel a couple of questions regarding motions and responses. 
One of Morphew’s attorneys, Jane Fisher-Byrialsen, attended the meeting and told Hopkins of their intentions to “file more motions in the next couple of weeks.” 

In response Hopkins said, “That needs to happen, at the very least, by May 29.” The prosecution needs to have enough time to respond, she said. 
A full week is scheduled for motion hearings, July 6-10. Morphew will have to be present in the courtroom for the hearings, Hopkins said.
There will be another all-virtual status conference at 3 p.m. June 24. 

Before ending the conference, Hopkins said, “The last information I wanted to give all of you, as you likely know, the legislature changed the scope of the livestream statute.” 

Due to the change, amendments to her livestreaming order for this trial might need to be changed. 
If that needs to happen, Hopkins said she would give each counsel the opportunity to respond before she makes any changes. 

Morphew was indicted by the 12th Judicial District grand jury June 18, 2025, on a charge of first-degree murder of his late wife, Suzanne Morphew. Morphew was first arrested in May 2021 on suspicion of first-degree murder. He entered a plea of not guilty. Charges against him were ultimately dismissed without prejudice in April 2022. 

Suzanne Morphew, formerly of Maysville, went missing on Mother’s Day 2020, and her body was found in September 2023 near Moffat. Evidence shows her body was moved at least twice, and an autopsy showed her body had processed a tranquilizer commonly known as BAM, which Barry Morphew has previously admitted to using on deer, to sedate them before cutting off their antlers.

For more detail on the live-streaming legislative change, here’s a good article:

I’m personally a fence sitter on this case until all the testimony is in, and particularly Karmelo Anthony’s testimony - presumably he‘ll testify I would think.

Part of my thought process is that while the Prosecutor asked every witness whether this was a murder or self defense, it isn’t really up to them. It’s actually up to the JURY, the LAW, the evidence and credibility of that evidence.

While many of you have decided already - I’m not quite there yet. Partially because teen boys can be assholes to each other (writ large), and partially because I am waiting to see what the jury instructions are.

While we are waiting, I went and pulled some documents and case law. For those who like to read.

First the TX Murder / Manslaughter / Negligent Homicide statute. Capital Murder doesn’t apply in his case.

https://statutes.capitol.texas.gov/?tab=1&code=PE&chapter=PE.19&artSec=

Then, the TX Justifications Statutes - 9.31 / 9.32

https://statutes.capitol.texas.gov/?tab=1&code=PE&chapter=PE.9&artSec=9.01

Then I found this advisory article from the TX District Attorney’s Assoc as to jury instructions involving self defense. It was a nice handy guide to some of the case law.

https://www.tdcaa.com/journal/self-defense-and-jury-instructions/

Then finally, the case law cited:

Rodriguez v. State (2021)

https://caselaw.findlaw.com/court/tx-court-of-criminal-appeals/2144765.html

Jordan v. State (2020)

https://caselaw.findlaw.com/court/tx-court-of-criminal-appeals/2045508.html

Hamel v.State (1996)

https://law.justia.com/cases/texas/court-of-criminal-appeals/1996/0797-94-4.html

I debated on posting anything, as internet world and YouTube land has exploded with TONS of commentary. I stayed fairly checked out until the last couple of days and really knew almost nothing. At this point there are multiple civil lawsuits, now a restraining order, and also criminal charges…..messy messy.

‼️The video from Attorney Leonard French above 9 days ago was the BEST I found and most USEFUL as to understanding the actual cases and the laws/doctrines that will come into play. ***Important critical legal info, useful to everyone consigning items to sell***

He has since posted two more updates, regarding the ex parte Temporary Restraining Order in Utah, which also included a prior restraint on Ben’s speech‼️‼️‼️

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=imD2U3kCZTA

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c7cOeDEIWVo

The first video I checked out is when the Civil Rights Lawyer posted a YouTube, with Ben. It had so much crammed into it, and names thrown about, it made it more difficult to follow the actual story in some ways. Good to watch if you already know the story.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hs3bElrHKUE

After that, I did go watch some of Reckless Ben’s own videos. I will say, he’s likable enough, pretty smart, and really inventive/creative. He has 5 posted videos, his channel is here:

https://www.youtube.com/@RecklessBen/videos

The Gorman’s have spoken out also:

https://www.youtube.com/@wrightword/videos

Punitive Damages phase (which hinged on a YES to the Malice questions) starts tomorrow with additional evidence being presented. The legal guy at the end makes that seem like some far off thing, no - it starts tomorrow.

💥VERDICT: Approx. $176 million combined compensatory and emotional distress damages; Malice found for both Rebecca Grossman and Scott Erickson, so Punitive Damages phase starts tomorrow at 9:15 with more evidence being presented💥

Update - Jurors still deliberating, per the Justice for Mark and Jacob Iskander FB page. The Page admin has put in a couple of updates that I pasted below.

She is only 3 months from 18. I hope they are successful in getting her tried as an adult.

Just providing the recap Press Conference that was held this morning.

This case is pretty awful. Thankfully the victim recovered fairly well, as in the video - for being shot in the face.

This was another short 4 or 5 day trial - it was not live-streamed that I can find. This is another case of what I view as overreactivity crimes. It seems it is an epidemic in this country.

Met by, yet another jury that tries to just dip their toes into accountability in my opinion (similar to the Konig jury). Not let the guy off, yet somehow find him guilty on a lesser included assault (misdemeanor instead of a felony assault) - the verdict seems unjust for what happened. I wish I could have watched the trial.

The one saving guilty verdict was the felony illegal discharge of a firearm. That means said defendant can no longer possess a gun. But….I have little faith he’ll abide by that.

I had to do a pretty wide sweep to get some of the facts presented.

Let’s start with the original charges press release:

Opening Statements Recap from Court TV:

https://www.courttv.com/news/picked-the-wrong-house-teen-shot-while-looking-for-perfect-photo-spot/

Shockingly, the kids were NOT on property when the victim was shot. Also, Mr. Overreactive (Former Council Member, recalled) Metz had them on surveillance via phone app when they were on his property. Yet, he had his partner call 911 and he rushed home, and did exactly what the 911 operator had advised against: approached the kids while they were in the car writing him a note for permission to do homecoming photos.

Courthouse News recap of verdict:

Last, the CO court records docket search blows darts. It only shows specific dates of docket items, not the whole docket with all the motions etc.

This 12 person jury now has the heavy lift of deciding Wrongful Death liability and monetary losses. They will also decide whether there is a punitive case for further punitive damages (if so, those damages would be awarded AFTER additional evidence is presented) in the Civil Wrongful Death lawsuit trial. Only 9 jurors need to agree on each verdict form question, and not the same 9 for all of the questions.

There are many pages to go through for these jurors, because there are 3 plaintiffs: Karim Iskander; Nancy Iskander; Minor Son Zachary Iskander. There are also 3 Defendants: Rebecca Grossman; Peter Grossman; Scott Erickson.

The link to the Public Justice for Mark and Jacob Facebook page for the Iskander’s is the best way to follow at this point, as the Admins are tracking juror questions in the comments. There has been one question so far.

Nancy and Zachary have additional Emotional Distress claims for the jurors to decide because they witnessed directly the loss of Mark and Jacob, and aftermath at the scene.

There is no stream of the wait for a verdict. Meghann Cuniff now has each closing argument from yesterday (6/1/26) on YouTube by attorney.

Plaintiff’s attorney Brian Panish went first 2.5 hours:

Meghann Cuniff did a great job with the instructions in her YT audio feed, essentially transcribing the instructions and providing bookmark times.

🌌🌌🌌 From her YT description below:

Judge Huey Cotton instructed the jury on Friday (May 29) in the trial over the Iskanders' wrongful death lawsuit against Rebecca Grossman and Scott Erickson.

Jurors are to return to Cotton's courtroom in the Los Angels County Superior Court branch courthouse in Van Nuys on Monday (June 1) at 9 a.m. for closing arguments.

Nancy and Karim Iskander are suing Grossman and Erickson for negligence and wrongful death after Grossman hit and killed their sons Mark, 11, and Jacob, 8, on Sept. 29, 2020, while impaired and speeding in Westlake Village, California. Erickson, a retired Major League Baseball pitcher, was speeding in another vehicle near her and witnesses said they appeared to be racing.

02:17 "You must follow the law exactly as I give it to you, even if you disagree with it. If the attorneys say anything different about what the law means, you must follow what I say in reaching your verdict. Do not guess what I think your verdict should be from anything I say I may have said or done. Pay careful attention to all the instructions that I give you."

03:56 "In criminal trials, the prosecution must prove that the defendant is guilty beyond a reasonable doubt, but in civil trials, such as this one, the party who is required to prove something need prove only that it is more likely to be true than not true. Certain facts must be proved by clear and convincing evidence, which is a higher burden of proof. This means the party must persuade you that it is highly probable that the fact is true."

06:11 "You may consider whether defendant Scott Erickson intentionally concealed or destroyed evidence. If you decide that he did so, you may decide that the evidence would have been unfavorable to him if a party failed to explain or deny evidence against that party, when that party could reasonably be expected to have done so based on what the party knew, you may consider that party's failure to explain or deny in evaluating that evidence. It is up to you to decide the meaning and importance of the failure to explain or deny evidence against the party."

10:31 "You heard testimony from expert witnesses. The law allows an expert to state opinions about matters in the expert's field of expertise, even if the expert has not witnessed any of the events involved in the trial, you do not have to accept an expert's opinion. As with any other witness, it is up to you to decide whether you believe the expert's testimony and choose to use it as a basis for your decision. You may believe all part or none of an expert's testimony. In deciding whether to believe an expert's testimony, you should consider a, the expert's training and experience, b the facts the expert relied on, and c the reasons for the expert's opinion. the law allows expert witnesses to be asked questions that are based on assumed facts."

19:14 "California Vehicle Code Section 21950 states in part that a the driver of a vehicle shall yield the right of way to a pedestrian crossing the roadway within a marked crosswalk or within an unmarked crosswalk at an intersection...

20:50 "If the plaintiffs prove one that defendant Rebecca Grossman violated this law, and two, that the violation was a substantial factor in bringing about the harm, then you must find that Rebecca Grossman was negligent, unless you also find that the violation was excused."

21:54 "California Vehicle Code Section 22350 states, no person shall drive a vehicle upon a highway at a speed greater than is reasonable or prudent, having due regard for weather, visibility, the traffic on, and the surface and width of the highway, and in no event at a speed which endangers the safety of persons or property."

24:34 "California Vehicle Code Section 23109 A states in part that a person shall not engage in a motor vehicle speed contest on a highway, as used in this section."

47:24 "The damages claimed by Karim and Nancy Iskander fall into a category called non-economic damages."

50:35 "You must not include in your award any damages to punish or to make examples of defendant Scott Erickson or defendant Rebecca Grossman. Such damages would be punitive damages, and they cannot be part of your verdict. You must award only the damages that fairly compensate plaintiffs for their losses."

52:34 "you will be asked to decide the following: whether defendant Rebecca Grossman is liable to plaintiff Karim Iskinder for her negligence and whether defendant Scott Erickson is liable to plaintiffs for his negligence. Three whether defendant Peter Grossman is liable under theory of permissive use."

53:57 "The amount of punitive damages, if any, will be decided later."

Lots of accurate words from Judge Mark Slavens, yet he issued a very disappointing, bordering on insulting sentence.

The Felony Misconduct in Office charge had a sentence guideline of up to 5 years prison time. He issued a sentence of 6 months, 3 years of probation. Anger Mgmt and MH evaluation.

Teen girl lured boys from online dating sites into trap where her boyfriend robbed them and shot a victim 4 times: Authorities

CONRAD HOYT May 30th, 2026, 2:00 pm 

A woman in Texas met boys on online dating sites and lured them into traps for her boyfriend to attack and rob them, authorities in The Lone Star State say.

Alyssa Canul, 17, faces two counts of aggravated robbery "and could face an additional charge of tampering with physical evidence," according to the government of Universal City, Texas.

Authorities say "Canul is suspected to have partnered with her boyfriend, 17-year-old Joseph Anthony Aguilar, who was arrested earlier this week."

According to the city, "[t]he pair recently moved to Universal City and are accused of luring young men on online dating sites then, robbing and assaulting them." In one case, "the victim was pistol whipped" and in another, a 15-year-old boy was shot four times; he survived.

Canul's job was to "lure young men on online dating sites" before they were robbed and assaulted, authorities said, according to San Antonio-based ABC affiliate KSAT.

Canul allegedly invited the first victim — a teenage boy — to a park bench before Aguilar attacked him and took his money.

In the second case, a 15-year-old boy reportedly traveled to a park in the city to meet Canul on the same bench used in the first alleged robbery. According to an arrest affidavit obtained by the outlet, the girl then lured the boy to Aguilar's apartment about a half mile away.

As they approached, Aguilar is said to have made a "loud noise" and showed himself to the teen as he loaded a gun. When the victim tried to run, Aguilar reportedly shot him four times and robbed him.

The boy managed to get to a nearby coffee shop where individuals there called 911. He was brought to a nearby hospital and treated for non-life-threatening injuries.

Investigators say they caught Canul speaking on the phone with Aguilar and telling him that she got rid of the gun used in the robberies.

Aguilar faces two aggravated robbery charges.

On Friday, Canul was arrested and detained in the Bexar County Adult Detention Center.

ARTICLE LINK - encourage reading this, viewing the sutured horse pics:

https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/several-horses-stabbed-nbha-show-132518204.html

There are a lot of articles out there now. The 3 victim horse owners at this event have each announced this on FB (links in the article). The article linked did not disclose that the alleged Perpetrator is a fellow competitor. She had her own horse on site, I looked up her results record and she barrel raced on Friday finishing 83rd in the 4d rankings.

One of the horses stabbed (Sully, owned by Hailey) finished first in the 1d rankings (1d = fastest horses) and the perpetrator even shared that win on her own FB page (reportedly), before these late night/early morning horse stabbings.

All horses survived; one horse did need surgery to repair stab wounds, the others needed stitches to close wounds. It was reported multiple times in the FB comments that one horse had its throat slit vertically, missing the jugular. I would presume this was the surgery horse.

From there, quite a few other statements/comments were made on FB on one of the victims’ posts. It is interesting to read the most lengthy detailed victim account - many want to assign this as a “jealousy” driven Tanya Harding type of crime, but there also seems to be some savior complex going on also.

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. —

The man arrested in connection with the Devil's Den State Park killings is expected back in Washington County Court on May 26.

Andrew McGann, 29, is charged with two counts of capital murder in connection with the July 26, 2025, killings of Clinton and Cristen Brink.

The couple was hiking with two of their daughters when they were attacked on a trail at Devil's Den State Park in Washington County. The children, ages 7 and 9 at the time, were not hurt.

The couple had just moved to Prairie Grove, Arkansas, from another state. Prairie Grove is about a half-hour drive from Devil's Den.

The hearing Tuesday is expected to be brief and possibly address several motions. A trial date has not yet been set.

Earlier this year, a judge decided the death penalty would stay on the table for McGann.

The defense filed motions asking the judge to exclude the death penalty.

**********

Further Updates from me. Arkansas maintains a robust, read the filings for free docket system. This docket is relatively shocking as to just how many defense motions have been filed, many of them *patently ridiculous*. I feel sorry for the prosecutor for having to respond to some of these.

As of the April 6th list Order on them, there were 21 motions the Judge ruled on. Promptly, the Defense filed 8 more.

Sadly, there is a heavy gag order in place and media pretty much blocked out other than handwritten note taking.

Video is the YouTube link to KATV, who posted the citizen witness video and who also wrote an article on their website as follows:

CABOT (KATV) — What was thought to be a lighthearted video of a family of geese crossing an interstate turned bleak as an Arkansas State Police Trooper appeared to try to move the flock off the roadway, but instead, struck a gosling in the process.

The video, obtained by a Channel 7 Viewer, begins with lighthearted chatter as the small flock slowly crosses the highway.

The State Trooper, only identified by a license plate, "A-75," is seen sitting on the left shoulder as a family of geese makes its way across U.S. Highway 57 between Cabot and Jacksonville.

As the flock is crossing to the right shoulder, the trooper is seen exiting the left shoulder, turning on the sirens, and speeding up toward the family, and eventually running over a gosling.

The witness of the incident tells KATV that shortly after the video ended, the trooper reversed and struck the second gosling. They also told KATV that the two adults immediately left the road, and the trooper drove off. 

KATV has spoken with a representative from the Arkansas State Police, and we are working to obtain more information.

<<<EDIT UPDATE>>>

2.5 Hours later (approximately) after the article and video were posted, Arkansas State Police Director Mike Hagar posted the “narrative” defense of this trooper, to Facebook. KATV also updated their website article with his response.

Yes, I have seen the goose pics/video. I don't like seeing that anymore than any other decent human being. You know what I dislike more?????

In June 2017, three generations of a family, Grandmother, Mother, and Infant baby girl, were hit in the rear on Interstate 40 at Mayflower. In one heartbeat, three generations were gone. Why??

Because they slowed unexpectedly on the Interstate and were struck in the rear by an SUV traveling at normal Interstate speed. I was the Troop A Commander at the time. The scene was nothing short of horrific. I PROMISE you there is not a Trooper, Police Officer, Deputy, EMS worker, wrecker driver, coroner.....anyone that responded to that scene, that has ever forgotten it. I attended their funerals a few days later. The family had one service, open caskets. The baby was was laying on her Mother's chest. That's how they were buried. Grandmother, next to them.

Talk to a Trooper that has worked for any length of time and they can share a similar story that happened in almost identical circumstances. Maybe not the number of fatalities, but the contributing factors of the crash, and the death or horrific injury that resulted. There is nothing quite as dangerous as the Interstate slowing or stopping unexpectedly.

You know what happens when wildlife gets on the Interstate? People are caught off guard, swerve in an attempt to avoid the animal, and crash. Or.....a scenario like this plays out and people slow/stop, take pics and videos of the cute scene unfolding in front of them, completely unaware of the imminent danger to the motorist approaching from behind who have no warning that traffic has stopped.

In this situation, the Trooper tried for 26 minutes to get these geese off the interstate. He called for Game and Fish, they weren't available. He exhausted his known options, not really a game plan for this scenario. He even assisted good Samaritans who had also stopped to help. He had actually been instructed to shoot the birds almost immediately upon arrival, because that's what was safest for the HUMANS involved, whether they knew they were involved or not. He tried his best.....to the point we would have had trouble explaining the decision had a motorist been injured as a result.

I'm very thankful that wasn't the case. This is a classic example of a lose-lose scenario.

Now, people are spewing hate, calling for the Trooper's head. Hard to imagine why good people wouldn't want to enter the field of law enforcement and subject themselves to this type of public scrutiny on a daily basis. The people in the bleachers always have it figured out. They could execute the game plan so much better than the players on the field, just ask them!!

Life isn't always fair, and it isn't always pretty. The real world doesn't always come with a storybook ending. We will proudly choose human life over water fowl. In a few months, people from all over the world will pay big money to travel to Arkansas from all over the world.....to kill geese! The Arkansas economy will boom from it! Stories will be told, celebrations will be had, their carcasses taken home to be stuffed and displayed on the wall. But....Off with the Troopers head for choosing human life over their's. This sucks, we all hate it. But c'mon folks, we have to be adults sometimes.

p.s. Remind your kids/spouse that if they ever have an animal run out in front of them on the highway, hit it. Having a significant crash while trying to avoid it, putting their own life in danger, is a nonsensical option. The options suck, but there is only one logical choice.

A "sadistic" family in New York told a little girl's school they were taking a trip to Walt Disney World so they could keep her home and torture her, prosecutors say.

Jor'Dynn Duncan, age 7, never got to go to "The Most Magical Place on Earth," according to the Suffolk County District Attorney's Office. Instead, her guardians allegedly kept her home and brutalized the youngster until she eventually died from a "massive untreated infection" stemming from sharp force injuries.

"The Suffolk County Medical Examiner's Office documented approximately 90 injuries on her body at the time of the victim's death," a press release from the DA's office says.

District Attorney Raymond Tierney describes Jor'Dynn's slaying as a cruel and "brutal" murder of a

"defenseless, innocent child" who was placed in the care of Emily Kelly, 50, her mother Barbara Renner, 75, and Kelly's biological daughter, Elyssa Seymore.

Tierney says the family was granted full custody of Jor'Dynn — as Kelly is the fiancee of her father — in April 2025 by Suffolk County Child Protective Services. They allegedly spent almost a year torturing, imprisoning and abusing her until she died in late December 2025.

Finally, this man has been sentenced for his attacks on innocents in HI.

He previously was known for his reign of terror in CA, as The Tesla Road Rage Guy. CA finally caught him and sentenced him to 5 years, which resulted in an early release of approximately 18 months served - only for him to ship his car to Hawaii and start again. 🙄

And last, so it is never forgotten - article copy from a different source, of his prior history before arrest in California:

Nathaniel Walter Radimak is originally from Rome, New York, according to a 2011 article in the Utica Observer-Dispatch.
