“Yet again, the government allows their predetermined conclusion to lead their search for evidence… Barry maintains his innocence. The case has not changed, and the outcome will not either.”
This is not Barry’s first legal battle. He was previously charged in 2021, but the case was dismissed the following year due to prosecutorial missteps.
A judge had barred key witnesses after the state failed to turn over exculpatory evidence, including unknown male DNA found in Suzanne’s SUV.
