Overview
- Stuart Lucas, a former Royal Navy reservist, described how Doyle bit part of his ear off during a 1994 service-station fight, an attack that led to a 12‑month jail term.
- Doyle is now imprisoned for 21 years and six months after pleading guilty to 31 offences for driving into crowds during Liverpool FC’s May title parade, with 134 people reported injured.
- Dashcam and CCTV shown in court were described by Merseyside Police’s DCI John Fitzgerald as the most distressing footage he has seen, and the judge said the video showed deliberate acceleration into groups.
- The car finally stopped when ex-soldier Daniel Barr jumped into the vehicle and shifted the automatic transmission into park, according to court reporting.
- The Attorney General’s Office has received requests to consider whether the sentence was unduly lenient under the review scheme, officials confirmed.
