Overview

• The Old Bailey sentenced McKenzie, also known as Billy Billions, to 33 years for conspiracy to murder and possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life.
• Days before sentencing, he posted on Instagram from custody naming Judge Philip Katz and prosecutor Alexandra Healy and saying "this ain't over."
• Judge Katz called the post "self-obsessed, self-pitying, self-serving rubbish" and ruled McKenzie a dangerous offender.
• Prosecutors said cutting-edge digital forensics linked McKenzie to the plot despite him not being in the car, and he was already serving a 13-year firearms term.
• The December 14, 2020 drive-by in Hackney fired six shots into a hired Mercedes, injuring five men including Khalid Mohammed, as prosecutors cited a Holly Street–London Fields gang feud and noted three earlier co-defendants had received long sentences.
