BELFAST, NORTHERN IRELAND - MAY 04: Conservative MP and former defence minister Johnny Mercer speaks to the media as the trial of two Northern Ireland serving paratrooper veterans accused of murdering Official IRA member Joe McCann in 1972 collapses, on May 4, 2021 in Belfast, Northern Ireland. The trial in Belfast of two Northern Ireland veterans accused of murdering Official IRA member Joe McCann in 1972 collapsed today. Judge Mr Justice O'Hara ruled that previous interviews given by the former British paratroopers, known only as Soldiers A and C, cannot be used as evidence in the trial. The prosecution has conceded that without this evidence the case against the two men will fail and today lost an appeal to reinstate the evidence. (Photo by Charles McQuillan/Getty Images)
