Money Talks

I think it a travesty of justice and a moral disgrace that the Millers were able to avoid jail time in the unnecessary deaths of two women, in the prime of life, who simply wanted a nice vacation [“Owners of Noyac House Where Sisters Died in 2022 Fire Plead Guilty,” 27east.com, August 26].

That the Millers allowed people to rent their house knowing there were no permits obtained, no working smoke detectors and no certified contractors employed to make the renovations should mandate a jail sentence.

They may be well-intentioned people, but they gave no regard to possible mishaps. Twenty-nine violations of town code and the deaths of two young women should automatically trigger a minimum sentence.
