He just scratched the surface and I thought someone should finish it.

I'll give it a look.

What does "the hungry rabbit jumps" mean?
Bourdette
It's not what a lawyer tells me I must do, but it's what humanity, reason, and justice tell me I ought to do. Edmund Burke said it. Hungry: humanity, rabbit: reason, jumps: justice.

Well, if we hand him over to the police it'll take at least six months for DNA tests to be completed. Ultimately there'd be a trial, and your wife, assuming she didn't drop the charges, would be dragged through this nightmare over and over. She'd be in court, she'd be questioned by lawyers. Even if the D.A. gets a conviction, which is not guaranteed, a rapist can serve as little as eleven months, which is half the time you get for tax evasion.

Hey. In a hyphenated compound situation, do you capitalize the second word?
Will Gerard
Only if it's a noun, and the words have equal weight. Like, Homeland Security. If it's a participle modifying the first word, then... you better keep it lower case.
Newspaper Woman
Oh, yeah, that makes sense. Thanks.

Are you wasting my time, Bourdette? Are you wasting my time?
Bourdette
If they find out I'm talking to you, they'll... they'll kill me.
Alan Marsh
Tell me how it works.
