GIST: "Barry Morphew, the Colorado man accused of murdering his wife before charges against him were dropped earlier this year, received a deferred sentenced of one year probation after pleading guilty to voting on behalf of the missing woman during the 2020 Presidential Election, according to local reports.
Morphew was accused in May 2021 of submitting Suzanne Morphew’s completed ballot despite Suzanne having been missing for a year – and amid an ongoing investigation surrounding her disappearance, according to an arrest warrant that was first obtained by FOX 21 and pertains to voter fraud allegations.
FOX 21 reported Thursday that Morphew pleaded guilty to forgery during a morning arraignment related to the voter fraud allegations, FOX 21’s Lauren Scharf reported.
Scharf and FOX 21 were granted access to the Thursday morning virtual hearing as a result of a granted request for expanded media coverage.
Morphew, 53, was ordered to serve 32 hours of community service in addition to a deferred sentence of one year probation, Scharf reported.

When asked on Thursday if he wanted to make a statement before his sentencing, Morphew reportedly looked at his attorney, Iris Eytan, before saying no. When pleading for a lighter sentence, Eytan told the judge her client "signed the witness line" on the voter ballot "because he had legal guardianship. That was the wrong choice, and he understands that," according to Scharf.
She reportedly confirmed that Morphew did vote for Trump on her wife’s behalf."
