Story summary

Barry Morphew, the Colorado man accused of killing his wife Suzanne Morphew, has been rearrested and jailed after allegedly being involved in a hit-and-run crash with two other vehicles in Denver. Morphew, who was free on a $3 million bond, had been allowed to travel outside of his hometown in southern Colorado for limited reasons, including work or picking up his daughter from the airport. However, prosecutors claim that he breached this condition when he went to Denver International Airport on August 28. Morphew has pleaded not guilty and faces trial next summer. He was booked into the Boulder County Jail, and a hearing will be held on Tuesday to discuss his bond.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.
