Linda Stanley says she did launch an investigation into a district court judge because she didn’t agree with his rulings in the case involving Barry Morphew.
CHAFFEE COUNTY, Colo. — Eleventh Judicial District Attorney Linda Stanley is responding to a very long list of allegations that could lead to her losing her law license.
In the 42-page court filing, she admits to one of the most serious accusations against her. Stanley says she did in fact launch an investigation into a district court judge because she didn’t agree with his rulings in the high-profile case involving Barry Morphew, who was charged in the murder of his wife Suzanne Morphew. The charges were dropped just days before the trial was set to begin.
In her response, Stanley cites an online petition filled with conspiracy theories as her basis for launching the investigation into former Judge Ramsey Lama and his family. She cites comments from people on a Change.org petition encouraging her to investigate the judge.
After multiple law enforcement agencies declined to investigate the conspiracy theories, Stanley secretly used her own investigators to look into the unfounded claims. In her response, Stanley says she did this because Lama ruled against the prosecution in court.

In a different murder case Stanley’s office was prosecuting, Stanley did a TV interview with 9NEWS partners KRDO in Colorado Springs. After she got backlash for making crude comments about the pending case, which involved a baby who was killed, her filing claims she never thought the interview would be aired. Even though she was speaking to a camera while wearing a microphone, she told the Supreme Court this week she thought the interview was “off the record.”
