A person who ran over Liverpool fans was sentenced to 21 years in prison sports

The Liverpool Court sentenced former British Royal Marine Paul Doyle to 21 years and 6 months in prison, after he was convicted of running over dozens of Liverpool Football Club fans during their celebration of the English Premier League title.

The ruling was issued after he admitted to a total of 31 criminal charges related to the incident that occurred in the city on May 26.

Last November, Doyle pleaded guilty to 31 charges, 9 of premeditated causing grievous bodily harm, and 17 charges of attempting to cause grievous bodily harm.

Prosecutors said Doyle, 54, drove his car into the crowd of fans, hitting adults and children, knocking them over or dragging them under his car, simply because he lost his temper.

Prosecutor Paul Greaney noted that Doyle was in a “completely controlled fit of rage” when he injured 134 people, including eight children, to cause panic on a “joyful day.”

Doyle drove his car into crowds of Liverpool fans during a festive procession, injuring 134 people, including children, and camera recordings showed that he acted out of unjustified anger.

Merseyside Police considered that it was a “miracle” that there were no deaths, noting that Doyle used his car as a “weapon” in a moment of anger during the procession.

Doyle was briefly a Royal Marine in the early 1990s before being discharged after several convictions for violence, but prosecutors said that by the time of the incident he was a “family man” and had turned his life around.
