Paul Doyle has been going through a lot during his two-day sentencing hearing in court. The former Marine has been crying in the dock as he faces the consequences of his actions. He was responsible for plowing into a crowd of over 100 fans during Liverpool's Premier League title parade. This is not the first time Doyle has been involved in violent incidents. He once bit off a man's ear during a fight and was discharged from the armed forces for fighting. The court has heard about his previous convictions, dating back to his teenage years. However, he had managed to stay out of trouble since his release from prison in 1995.
The prosecutor, Paul Greaney KC, shared that despite his troubled past, Doyle had made efforts to turn his life around in the last 30 years. He went to university and built a family, trying to live a positive and productive life. But his actions in Liverpool earlier this year have undone all of his progress. The court heard statements from numerous fans who were impacted by Doyle's reckless behavior, some of whom may never fully recover from the trauma.
Greaney also recounted Doyle's criminal history, revealing that he had enlisted in the Royal Marines for 22 years but was discharged after only 22 months. In 1991, during his training, Doyle got into a scuffle with some men at a nightclub. Later, when the men were waiting for him, he retaliated and was convicted of assault. He also faced military convictions for using violence against his superior officer and causing damage to property. In 1994, he was sentenced to 12 months in jail for biting off a man's ear in a fight.
When questioned by police after the parade incident, Doyle admitted to getting into a drunken fight with sailors. The court also heard about his previous convictions for minor offenses in Scotland. Despite all of this, Greaney acknowledged that Doyle had made efforts to rehabilitate himself and had no convictions in the 30 years leading up to this incident. He had a job and a family, and was living a responsible life. But his actions on that fateful day in Liverpool have undone all of his progress and caused immense tragedy.
Throughout the court proceedings, Doyle has been frequently seen crying in the dock. Greaney's words only added to the weight of his guilt and remorse. It is clear that Doyle's actions have had a profound impact on many lives and will continue to haunt him for years to come.
