A former paratrooper has been found not guilty of murdering two people on Bloody Sunday in Londonderry in 1972.
Known only as Soldier F – he was also found not guilty of five counts of attempted murder.
Thirteen people were shot dead, and 15 others injured, when soldiers opened fire at a civil rights demonstration in a predominantly Catholic part of the city.
Soldier F - the only military veteran to be prosecuted over the shootings - was screened from public view. The trial took place without a jury, with verdicts delivered by Judge Patrick Lynch.
On today’s episode, Tara Mills is at Belfast Crown Court, Declan Harvey is in Derry.
We’ll hear from families, veterans and have political reaction.
