Assessment
Reliability Tier2
Reliability tier 2: a national news magazine's contemporaneous account of the settlement figure and the negotiation behind it, independent of the archdiocese, corroborated by the archdiocese's own newspaper reporting the same total and award range. NotesTier 2: useful for the negotiation history behind the final figure, including the smaller offer the archdiocese had floated a month earlier, cross checked against the archdiocese's own newspaper for the settlement's final terms.
