Latest reports regarding Bloody Sunday is that up to 18 former members of the Parachute Regiment could face prosecution. Now this is where the need for parity I mentioned earlier in the thread comes in to play.
Under the Good Friday agreement, former IRA members can be sentenced to up to two years in prison if found guilty of any IRA related crime. By contrast, former members of the armed forces receive no such leniency.
In those circumstances, and given that many are already perceived to have lied in previous inquiries and investigations, is it likely that any of these former soldiers are going to be particularly friendly or cooperative witnesses in their own prosecution?
