          mixture of awe and distrust.  But now he is deeply concerned 
          about Martin Peyton's health.  Rodney fears that the 
          preliminary hearing of The People vs Lee Webber" will be 
          taxing on his grandfather and cause irreparable damage to this 
          aging man who he has now grown to love.

          door on miss Choate.  The patient has refused to exercise her 
          ankle because it hurts.  Rachel is about to leave as Rodney

          Rodney asks Rossi to examine Martin Peyton.  Rodney sits in 
          Rachel's wheelchair and tells of seeing Peyton slumped over in 
          a chair and thinking the old man might be dead.  Rodney says, 
          "I don't want to be the one who hits the switch."

          RH:  I live with him. I know the state his health is in.
          JF:  Is that your only concern?  Or are you doing a little 
               maneuvering of your own?

          LW:  If you don't believe me.  If you think what my brother was 
               saying on the stand is true, why don't you bow out?
