  "account": "A Colorado man accused of killing his wife had his bond increased to $10 million on Tuesday, according to prosecutors who claimed he is a flight risk. Barry Morphew was previously free on a $3 million bond, but was arrested and jailed in Boulder County on the order of Alamosa County District Judge Amanda Hopkins following a crash on Aug. 26. The judge ordered Morphew's bond to be raised to $3 million cash only, requiring him to provide the full amount to be released rather than through a bondsman. On Tuesday, the bond was increased to $10 million cash only, as prosecutors argued Morphew could easily flee the country after getting onto a plane. Morphew's attorney noted that he had not fled in the six years of prosecution related to his wife's death, but the judge stated Morphew had not provided evidence for a legitimate reason to travel to the airport.",
