  A few points here, although I am against amnesties in general for serious criminal behaviour there was a case for it so that a long standing problem could be solved, unfortunately it didn't extend to all sides.
  
  On the day in question 28 unarmed civilians were shot (14 fatally) some of whom were shot in the back or whilst tending to the injured. This is not what we would expect of our famously professional and disciplined army.
  
  
  What I have never discovered is how they were briefed that day by their commanding officer who would have known that there was little likelihood of serious trouble from a civil rights march. If he told them to do what they did then he should be up before the court not a scapegoat from the regiment.
