This is the end for legal proceedings arising from a shooting on the dock at Matinicus Island. A bitter dispute arose about the territory fished by a mainlander. One fisherman was crippled by the gunshot. The shooter and an armed companion - his daughter - were acquitted in a trial by jury in Knox County Superior Court in 2010. The civil claims have been settled now, Stephen Betts of the Knox Gazette, reports. Lives have been altered - none for the better, the full truth is known only to the participants - and not to all of them. A sad moment on a gallant island in the Gulf of Maine. - GWC
