On one occasion, 21 lawyers in a row declined to take a case pro bono. Morris was the one who convinced Stephen Bright to take his first death penalty cases—including that of Donnie Thomas. Bright had left the Public Defender Service for DC and was teaching in the DC Law Students in Court program.

That trio of lawyers and Patsy Morris stuck with Thomas, who was mentally ill, until the end. They reworked the case from the ground up. I tell the story of the twists and turns in Thomas’s legal battle in @demandtimpossible.bsky.social.
