State to pay $750,000 to family of Canterbury woman killed by trooper
The state of New Hampshire will pay $750,000 to the family of a Canterbury woman fatally shot by a State Police trooper in 2013.
The New Hampshire Attorney General’s Office and attorneys for the family of Wendy Lawrence agreed to the settlement this month, roughly three years after Lawrence’s oldest son, Michael Rand, filed a civil lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Concord.
Lawrence’s windshield was shot eleven times.
Lehmann told the Monitor that Rand and his family are glad to have the case behind them, and thankful to the collision consultants who assisted them.
“No amount of money can compensate Wendy’s family for the loss they suffered,” Lehmann said, “but I am glad that we were able to help them get some small measure of justice.”
