Doug was a fine man and trooper, I use to think he and Ken Phipps was the two biggest man I ever saw. He was a law officer that you could always count on in a tight place. Met him back in the 1970’s doing the student distrubances at Va Tech. Our loss is Heavens gain. Prayers for the family, know that he is with the good LORD now.

This is the cop responsible for junk science. He claimed to know the carbon residue was due to a turn signal that was actives and functioning fully at a time of collision. J.B.Speirs asked him during testimony,how can you tell when the light is destroyed. Cop said the carbon was a indicator.He should have taken a science class not a makeup due to a no science observation. He soon retired and was the butt of the blinking signa theory.
