Police and emergency personnel on Water Street, Liverpool (Image: PA Wire) "Thousands of people had gathered in the city to watch the Liverpool FC parade, and it is only by sheer luck that nobody was killed because of Doyle's reckless actions. We hope that the knowledge Doyle is now facing a considerable prison sentence will be able to help those affected to move on with their lives." Chief Crown Prosecutor Sarah Hammond, speaking on behalf of the CPS, stated: "Today's convictions bring a measure of justice for an act that caused unimaginable harm during what should have been a day of celebration for the city of Liverpool.

By entering guilty pleas, Doyle has finally accepted that he intentionally drove into crowds of innocent people during Liverpool FC's victory parade. This was not a momentary lapse by Paul Doyle, it was a choice he made that day and it turned celebration into mayhem.
