## Resource

In a stunning courtroom twist, three men linked to the fatal shooting of journalist Lyra McKee in 2019 have been acquitted after a two-year, judge-only trial. McKee, 29, was killed while covering a Belfast protest — an event that briefly united Northern Ireland’s divided political factions and reignited stalled power-sharing talks. The prosecution sought to prove these men were accomplices, but the defense argued the circumstantial evidence was insufficient. The judge agreed, delivering not guilty verdicts — leaving the identity of the actual shooter still unknown and the emotional toll on McKee’s family and colleagues profound.
