It must be a horrible feeling to find yourself facing Trial for Murder....while Terrorists who murdered are granted Parole/Amnesty for their crimes.
Agree but people granted Parole after conviction.

The situation in Northern Ireland always seemed so sad to me when it was going on....but this sad development just makes it so much more tragic.

The GFA should have been a blanket deal that should have ended prosecutions of any (everyone) who were involved in violence and served as the cornerstone for true reconciliation of all sides and groups.
HET was a PSNI led operation looking at every death that has occurred. They sought access to the Boston records for this purpose fully supported by UK Government.
As posted previously it has included arrests of Republican and Loyalists for their actions plus looked at Security forces actions.
This is looking at reconciliation because it is examing all sides not just saying it happened and we won't look at it.

The above story is of a 12 year old girl, it took 35 years to get an apology.
