The settlement was paid out in July of 2022. Here's a little something regarding a 7-07-22 story at WABI:
Brittany Irish had called police numerous times before the shooting saying Lord had kidnapped and raped her, and she wanted him arrested.
I believe most settlements include a clause requiring victims to be silent. From the story:
As part of the settlement, Irish agreed to not make statements that criticize the state.
From a story at the Portland Press Herald titled Mother and daughter settle lawsuit against Maine State Police:
Both a U.S. District judge and a panel of federal appeals judges held that the Maine state troopers named in the lawsuit should not be protected by qualified immunity, a legal doctrine that often is used to shield law enforcement officers from civil liability. The case seemed set to go to trial, but court records show it was removed from a trial list for February due to ongoing settlement negotiations.
Neither story mentions that Anthony Lord had committed a crime against at least one other woman... Jamie Clark; however, a story at TheCinematic did:
In February that same year, Anthony pleaded guilty to a domestic violence assault charge and was sentenced to 10 months with all but 45 days suspended. Just a few months after, Anthony would have another run-in with the law. This time, it was for murder and attempted murder.
