Judge Murrows, whom you might remember from several episodes in the second and third seasons of Autumn Spring, is one of the most respected local judges based in the city of Middleton. His character model is a reuse of the unused cutscene model of the character of aged zookeeper Joseph Murrows, created by Capcom for the "Wild Things" scenario of Resident Evil Outbreak: File 2 (REO2) and can be found in both Outbreak games hidden in the cutscene character models along with a number of other unused and beta character models. Murrows is mentioned but never seen in the final retail version of the scenario, and you can find more about him by consulting the appropriate sources. For Autumn Spring I changed his outfit into a black Yakuza series suit with a red tie. FYI he's nothing more than a combination of the head of Albert Lester ("Flash Back") with a new custom texture attached to the original body of Austin Taylor ("The Docks," "Wild Things"). dA's own Tyrant0400Tp has kindly reposted the hand-rigged version of the original Outbreak model of Joseph Murrows that Marcelievesky and I did years ago, and you can get it at the link below:

Suzie normally treats them [to lunch] - It's established early on in the regular Autumn Spring series that attorney Suzie Cheatham, one of the senior partners at DCH Associates PA, would frequently treat all of the younger ladies who worked there out to lunch so they could have an old fashioned "hen party," as the English slang term goes, and that way she could both socialize with them and catch up on all of the latest gossip at the office.

... or you'll wind up hitching up with one of them, just like Bill - In the Autumn Spring first season episode "The Competition," we learn that firm partner Bill Howe (the "H" in the firm name) had recently married the firm's former receptionist, who was also a young woman, and that they were expecting their first child. Brandy was hired to replace her, as established in that and other early Autumn Spring first season episodes. This is also a bit of foreshadowing, since Alan eventually does ... but we're getting waaaaaay ahead of ourselves at this point in time, right? Right. XD

FYI: If you put together the names of all three of the original senior partners at DCH Associates PA - Roger Dewey, Suzie Cheatham, and Bill Howe, you get my variation on the old joke law firm name of Dewey, Cheatham, and Howe (read "do we cheat them and how!"). I had to spell the second name in the firm name a bit differently and avoid its overt use in my Autumn Spring stories for legal reasons, which is why I shorten it to DCH all the time. BTW it's a very old joke, and you can look up its origins for yourselves.

My foot nothing. - Ah, there's the sneaky version of Brandy's little trademark "look" for which she became famous among Autumn Spring fans. She knows something was up. Will she find out what it was? You'll have to wait for the next page to find out.
