Overview
- Paul Doyle’s two-day sentencing opened Monday at Liverpool Crown Court, with the judge expected to hand down his sentence on Tuesday.
- Prosecutors told the court Doyle lost his temper and used his Ford Galaxy as a weapon, rejecting his claims of blind panic and noting he was sober and the vehicle had no defects.
- Jurors watched dashcam, mobile and police bodycam footage showing Doyle driving into dense crowds, with victims trapped under the car and emergency crews extracting four people.
- Authorities say 134 people were injured and about 50 hospitalized, with victims ranging from a six-month-old baby, Teddy Eveson, to elderly supporters.
- Doyle was arrested at the scene after bystander Daniel Barr helped halt the car, and bodycam captured Doyle telling officers, “I’ve just ruined my family’s life.”
