BBC News reported from Liverpool Crown Court that a man named Paul Doyle is facing 31 charges, which include causing grievous bodily harm with intent. The defendant, who appeared via video-link from prison, was emotional when asked to confirm his identity. Originally facing seven charges, the prosecution introduced 24 new charges, delaying Mr. Doyle’s plea entry as his barrister requested more time to review the new indictment.
The incident in question occurred during Liverpool FC’s Premier League victory parade on Water Street in Liverpool city center, where a Ford Galaxy car drove into a crowd, resulting in over 130 injuries. Among the new charges, 23 relate to injuries suffered by victims, with one count of affray. The indictment revealed that two babies were among those Mr. Doyle allegedly attempted to cause grievous bodily harm to, along with other victims ranging from six months to 17 years old.
Mr. Doyle’s legal representative informed the court that the defendant had not yet been able to thoroughly review the new charges due to a delay in obtaining a laptop to access evidence while in remand. Family members of the victims observed the court proceedings from the public gallery, highlighting the gravity of the situation and the impact it has had on the community. The case continues to unfold as Mr. Doyle navigates the legal process in response to the charges brought against him.
