Editor’s note: Murders and other violent crimes surged across the country amid the...
Editor’s note: Murders and other violent crimes surged across the country amid the pandemic, but in Harris County the trend seemed all the more painful because we recognized some of the contributing factors but couldn’t seem to address them. Beyond the court backlog dating back to Harvey that delayed trials, there were some felony court judges and magistrates whose lenient bond decisions for repeat, violent offenders endangered our community.
Despite a judicial philosophy that skews more toward defendants, Morris, a Democrat, persuaded us that she would take a different approach as a judge, balancing her belief in due process with the understanding that the public’s faith in the judicial system has been shaken. That’s just one reason why we think Morris is well-suited to take over the 263rd District Court bench.
Her compassion, however, does not extend to the cases that have attracted the most concern and local media attention: those involving defendants accused of violent felonies who receive multiple bonds and go on to rack up more violent charges. Morris believes the solution is stricter bond conditions.
