The only soldier ever prosecuted over a massacre of civilians in 1972 that became known as Bloody Sunday has been found not guilty of murder and attempted murder charges. The presiding judge at Belfast County Court has ruled that while he was satisfied the former paratrooper was among a group of soldiers who shot at civilians after a civil rights march, there was not enough evidence to convict him of the killings.
