Paul Doyle, 54, has made headlines after pleading guilty in a dramatic turn of events during his trial related to the Liverpool parade crash. The incident occurred on 26 May, when a Ford Galaxy struck a crowd celebrating Liverpool FC's Premier League title, injuring over 100 people, including children and a 78-year-old woman. Doyle, from Croxteth, Liverpool, broke down in tears as he faced the court. Initially, he had pleaded not guilty to 31 charges, which included dangerous driving and multiple counts of grievous bodily harm. However, as the jury was sworn in, he changed his plea, leading to the discharge of the jury. The court heard that the crash took place shortly after 6pm on Water Street, where crowds had gathered to celebrate. Of those injured, 50 required hospital treatment, although all victims have since been discharged. During the proceedings, Doyle's emotional state was evident. He wiped away tears as he responded to the court clerk's question confirming his identity. The Honourable Recorder of Liverpool, Judge Andrew Menary KC, addressed the jury, emphasising the importance of basing their decision solely on courtroom evidence, free from external influences. The trial was expected to last three to four weeks, with the prosecution detailing the serious nature of the charges against Doyle. The youngest victim, a six-month-old boy, was among those he is accused of attempting to harm. As the case continues to unfold, the legal proceedings will focus on the events surrounding the crash and the implications of Doyle's guilty plea. The court has been a focal point for public attention, given the scale of the incident and the number of individuals affected.
