The soldier accused of two murders on Bloody Sunday in Derry has been found not guilty of all charges.
Soldier F, who was a member of the Parachute Regiment, denied the two murder charges and five counts of attempted murder.
The trial began at Belfast Crown Court on September 15.
Soldier F was screened from public view by a curtain.
Judge Patrick Lynch announced the verdict after going through the evidence for more than two hours.
On Bloody Sunday in January 1972, thirteen people were shot dead at a civil rights demonstration in the Bogside area in Derry.
A public inquiry in 2010 found that none of those killed posed a threat to the army.
Soldier F is the only veteran prosecuted over the shootings.
