People who have been asserting something as firmly as we have seen Morgan assert Harry isn't innocent recanting on their deathbed to a more sympathetic position is neither convincingly realistic nor a trope I am fond of; and this holds whether Morgan genuinely believes Harry is guilty or not.  Either way it didn't ring true to me.
I get your meaning. Kinda like a lifelong atheist finding God on his deathbed.

I'd normally say Susan, but since I'm hoping to see her and some others in Mirror Mirror, I'll go with someone dead and gone...

Simon Petrovich.
Lulz that you think Sith is dead.

Personally, I'm hoping for Cat Sith Who Prowls Behind to make a future appearance.
You may be right; but, I am still holding to the theory that Simon is hanging around in Cowl-ish ways.I really love the pun of Simon Cowl.

It was not at his dead bed, it was at the beginning of the book. It was clear that they both got a better understanding of each other during the years and that understanding was won the hard way, not with a sudden soul gaze or so. Morgans understanding of Harry at the beginning of Turn Coat was already enough for him to go to Chicago of all places. The hardest thing for both actually is to acknowledge it. Dying might make that easier, I don't know.

But Harry's understanding had grown too. These were not the same people that wanted to kill each other in Summer Knight.

I don't like dead bed confessions or conversions either but this was neither of these, he just discussed his actions and said some things Harry needed to know.

All of which would have worked far better for me without Morgan's dying statement.

That was for those people who don't believe anything before it is explicitly written down. Everything he said was also clear from his actions although nice from him he told Harry about not telling about Molly but that lead to the explanation so...

Luccio  did not tell about Molly either which suggests it was not that clear a case as Harry thought or maybe that was for Molly's benefit as well.

Is there a bad guy that got their "just desserts" that people wish was around for another meal?

Jenny Greenteeth. Her illusion specialization made her a good counter to Molly, and I'd have liked to have seen Molly develop her own nemeses before she ascended.

She has ... the Fomor servitor .... I forgot his name.
At times I wish I had a clone, but then I realize, I could never live with that a-hole.

And I suppose it's not as if I don't bump into those people a fair bit.

You lost me with TWC, don't recognize those initials unless I am having a senile moment.

Double Duh on me.  Excuse me while I go guzzle some green tea with ginseng and try to find what is left of me brain.

Lash I do miss. Her bits with Harry made him smarter.
