How courts have described this case

• concluding that defendant’s statements to media were “mirror images” of other admittedly protected statements made in course of governmental investigation
• finding that statements made to the media that were mirror images of protected statements and were made about an issue already under review were sufficiently “in connection with” a pending review as to be protected under the anti-SLAPP statute
• describing Creigle's statements as \mere repetition[s]\ of those she had already made during the underlying investigation of the plaintiff
• \[Statements] were essentially mirror images of those she made during and 'in connection with' the departmental investigation of the plaintiff\ [emphasis added]
• fire fighter’s widow made statements to press that were “essentially mirror images” of statements made at disciplinary hearing during investigation of plaintiff and therefore her statements were petitioning activity
