He faulted Mrs Dorland of 129 N Venusylvania St for being in charge as a Christian Scientist and considered potential legal action. This is the coroner’s second similar case since taking office.

Defenses Closing in Booker Murder Trial Spurs Courtroom Attention
In a crowded courtroom Friday, attorney Kealing delivered the defense closing for Hooker accused in the Booker murder case.
