At the police station, Will confronts DA Fellowes, who's talking to a detective: "We haven't even found the girl, and you've laid attempted murder charges?" Fellowes says he has to take a stand: "In this town, justice reacts swiftly when a child's life is in danger." Will says the mother is very likely a child herself, and reminds Fellowes that he (Fellowes) was a huge supporter of the safe haven law, which was supposed to protect the kind of person who did this. Fellowes says the law was meant to protect the baby, not the mother. Guh? That's not my understanding. I thought it was for both of them. Fellowes pontificates about how they've given these women a chance to abandon their babies safely, and if they still insist on leaving them to die, well, he apparently has no quarter whatsoever for them. Will points out she called 911. Fellowes: "That's the difference between you and me, Will. I don't have sympathy for a baby killer. I don't think a jury will either." Will reminds him that the baby isn't dead. Man, I hope somebody punches this smug bastard DA in the breadbasket soon. Fellowes says: "Look at it this way: the girls at Arcadia High School who didn't know about the safe haven law before...they sure as hell know about it now. You should be behind this. Your daughter attends Arcadia High, doesn't she?"
