Reliability tier 2: a national wire service report on a court's own approval of the settlement, corroborating the Los Angeles Times's figures independently rather than repeating them.
Notes
Tier 2: independent wire confirmation of the settlement's court approval and presiding judge, cross checking the Los Angeles Times's figures against a separate newsroom's reporting of the same hearing.
