Ex-Soldier Appears in Court for First Time in Bloody Sunday Case

Lawyers argue for dismissal due to insufficient evidence as anonymity concerns persist

Soldier F faces charges for two murders and five attempted murders from 1972's Bloody Sunday.
This is his first court appearance since being charged in 2019, with a curtain shielding him from public view.
Defense claims evidence is contradictory and flawed, seeking to have the case dismissed.
Prosecution resumed after initial halt in 2021, following successful legal challenges by victims' families.
Anonymity for Soldier F remains a contentious issue, with arguments about potential risks to his safety.
