Another politically motivated inquest (a la Saville) which shifts all the blame onto the troops and makes HUGE assumptions about events 50 years ago.
So, reading the coroners report:
https://www.judiciaryni.uk/sites/jud...20May%2021.pdf
i) The evidence showing gunshot residue and lead traces on the hands of several of those shot has been dismissed as not reaching an evidential standard, although pretty much every bit of rumour, supposition and hearsay from others is accepted unquestioningly as evidence.
ii) The calibre and origin of weapon that killed several of those shot is uncertain.
iii) The finding of ammunition in the pockets of one of those shot has been entirely dismissed.
iv) The troops were under fire from the IRA and under petrol bomb and blast bomb attack, but were supposed to risk assess their actions and respond in a strictly proportionate manner.
v) Although the yellow card specifically states it has no legal force, the coroner claims it was not followed.
I hope we don't see another potential miscarriage of justice crop up again, so soon after the troops were cleared of murdering the terrorist commander Joe McCann.
