Supporters of the two veterans accused of the murder of Joe McCann in 1972 celebrate hearingof the collapse of the case at Laganside Court in Belfast on Tuesday
I WAS heartened that soldiers A and C have been acquitted of murder over the 1972 death of Joe McCann of the Official IRA ("Two former paratroopers acquitted over death of Official IRA leader", The Herald, May 5).
It was entirely unjust to continue to pursue any of our soldiers over deaths during the Troubles after the Blair Government had given "letters of comfort" (an effective amnesty) to 156 terrorist suspects under the Good Friday Agreement.
