"I understand that there is public interest in this personal matter. I would simply ask that others reserve judgment until the legal process has concluded."

I also contacted Mark Wheetley via email and just happened to run into him an hour ago.

Mr. Wheetley gave me this response:

"Thank you for the opportunity to respond to your inquiry."

 

At this time I want to say that:  " I understand that there is public interest in this personal matter. I would simply ask that others reserve judgment until the legal process has concluded."
