Lord Widgery
Lord Widgery was the British judge who presided over the Widgery Tribunal, which investigated the events of Bloody Sunday in 1972. His report, published in the same year, controversially cleared the soldiers involved of wrongdoing, a decision that sparked outrage among the victims' families and many in the public. Widgery's findings were widely criticized and were seen as a significant factor in the ongoing conflict and distrust surrounding the events of the Troubles in Northern Ireland.
