00:00Paul Doyle has been held responsible for his deliberate actions that endangered lives and brought chaos upon a community.
00:07A total of 134 people were injured, including children as young as six months.
00:14This attack did not just harm individuals, it struck at the heart of a city, united in joy, leaving fear in its wake.
00:21By entering guilty pleas, Doyle has finally accepted that he intentionally drove into crowds of innocent people during Liverpool FC's victory parade.
00:33Dashcam footage from Doyle's vehicle shows that as he approached Dale Street and Water Street, he became increasingly agitated by the crowds.
00:42Rather than wait for them to pass, he deliberately drove at them, forcing his way through.
00:47Driving a vehicle into a crowd is an act of calculated violence.
00:53This was not a momentary lapse by Paul Doyle.
00:56It was a choice he made that day, and it turned celebration into mayhem.
