Summary

In this episode Caroline and Liz bring you the sentence of Paul Doyle and play for the first time some of the shocking dashcam footage that sealed his fate.

They detail how he spent time in jail as a much younger man for a serious violent offence and how his reputation now lies in tatters.

They also speak to a mother and her son, who were caught up in the carnage, and who helped rescue fans trapped beneath Paul Doyle’s Ford Galaxy.

And they bring you an interview with hero Dan Barr, the former soldier and supporter who ran towards danger to bring the car to a stop and who has been commended for his bravery.

0:00.0	Welcome to the Trial UK, the Liverpool Parade.
0:09.0	I'm Caroline Cheatham and I'm Liz Hull and just a word of warning from the outset this podcast does contain swearing.
0:18.4	No!
0:38.4	Yes! Move Move Move Move Move Move out the fucking out move Fucking hell, no! Mani! Mani! Mani! Fucking out. Matthew! Me! Maddie!
0:39.6	Fucking out!
0:46.0	That footage is the reason Paul Doyle has been sentenced today to 21 and a half years in prison. It's him that you can hear

2:27.5	It is difficult, if not impossible, to convey in words alone the scene of devastation you caused.
2:38.3	It shows you quite deliberately accelerating into groups of fans time and time again. You struck people head on, knocked others onto the bonnet,
2:45.9	drove over limbs, crushed prams, and forced those nearby to scatter in terror. You ploughed on, at speed,
2:54.6	and over a considerable distance, violently knocking people aside or simply driving over them,
3:01.2	person after person after person. You accelerated forwards and backwards repeatedly. Several victims became trapped beneath the
