Our small close-knit island community is still grieving the tragic carbon monoxide deaths of Troy Sullivan and Kelly Ashcroft. Maybe it’s just me, but I found it disturbing and sad that attorney Chris Davis saw a need to essentially try his case in the press, in a long letter to the editor, in the opinion section of the Sounder on Aug. 9. If Mr. Davis, or anyone else for that matter, wants “to set the record straight,” where a lawsuit is involved, there is only one appropriate forum, and that is the courtroom.
