16. That's an interesting quote by Doolittle in the article ....

“I support my wife 100 percent and (I) fully expect that the truth will prevail.”


He doesn't say he is innocent or even deny the charges. By saying he 'expects the truth will prevail' does that mean he is fatalistic? That he is convinced they have got the goods on him and he is ready to accept his fate?

Interesting.
