Not guilty verdict for Soldier F in Bloody Sunday murder trial

A former member of the Parachute Regiment, known as Soldier F, has been found not guilty of murder and attempted murder in connection with Bloody Sunday in 1972. The incident resulted in the deaths of 13 people and injured at least 15 others during a civil rights demonstration in Londonderry's Bogside area. Soldier F faced charges related to the killings of James Wray and William McKinney, among others. A judge ruled that the evidence against Soldier F had fallen short of what was required for conviction, citing that members of the Parachute Regiment had "totally lost all sense of military discipline" on the day. The verdict has been met with a mix of emotions from families affected by the incident, with some expressing pride and relief while others feel justice has not been fully served.
