Hyde Park bombing: Family awarded £715,000 in damages Dead horses and wrecked cars in the aftermath of the IRA Hyde Park bomb attack on the Household Cavalry in 1982 Sian Harrison, PA 16 December, 2020 11:52
The family of one of four British soldiers killed in the July 1982 Hyde Park bombing has been awarded £715,000 in damages.
The ruling was made following a civil action against convicted IRA member John Downey after a criminal case collapsed at the Old Bailey in 2014.
A High Court judge ruled last year that Downey was an active participant in the bombing and was jointly responsible with others for the attack, which left 31 other people injured.

IRA terrorist John Downey has been ordered to pay £715,000 in damages to the mother and daughter of a soldier murdered in the Hyde Park bombing 38 years ago.
Sarah Jane Young, the daughter of Lance Corporal Jeffrey Young, was forced to sue Downey in the High Court after his criminal trial was thrown out in 2014 when he produced a so-called ‘comfort letter’ that gave him an effective amnesty from prosecution.

Fantasy Football Week 14 Matchup Notes: Key stats, injuries, notes to help with lineup dilemmas
Here s something to know about each game on the Week 14 slate. Dec 11, 2020 at 1:08 pm ET44 min read
Take a second to give yourself a pat on the back if you ve made it to the Fantasy Football playoffs during this crazy season. And even if you didn t the playoffs, well, you made it through 2020. I ll never be one of those people who will tweet or DM a professional athlete, talking smack to them about Fantasy sports (and you shouldn t either). But man, Christian McCaffrey burned us this year. I m sure he wants to be healthy and playing, but it s just been one of those lost seasons for him where injuries just keep snowballing. I finally had the luxury of drafting McCaffrey in two leagues this season, and then 2020 reared it s ugly head.
