Former Soldier Acquitted in Bloody Sunday Trial

The High Court of Justice in Derry has delivered a verdict in the Bloody Sunday case, finding former British soldier, Robert Hill, not guilty of murder. The trial, which began in 2023, centered on allegations made by relatives of the victims of the 1972 assault on unarmed unarmed civilians by British soldiers. Northern Ireland’s political leader, Stephen Galloway, expressed disappointment with the ruling, stating the verdict does not reflect the truth of events. Victims’ relatives and political leaders have voiced strong condemnation of the verdict, emphasizing the need for accountability and justice for the victims and their families. The legal process continues.
