Anthony DiPippo was convicted twice of raping and murdering a 12-year-old girl. He was then acquitted in 2016 after a third trial.
DiPippo filed a federal civil rights violation lawsuit against the county and just received a $12 million out-of-court settlement.
Putnam County District Attorney Robert V. Tendy is now condemning this decision, calling the settlement “incomprehensible.”
Putnam County Executive MaryEllen Odell fired back, releasing a statement that says, in part, "that the DA failed to do his job effectively....he cannot then blame myself or the legislature for doing ours."
