Summary
In this episode Caroline and Liz reveal the reason Paul Doyle changed his pleas to guilty - his own dashcam footage. The footage was played in court today and it captured the crucial 2 minutes when he rammed his car into 134 people. Some bounced off his bonnet while others were dragged under the wheels. Many of his victims were in court and they gasped as they saw the carnage he inflicted in just a few seconds.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Trial UK, the Liverpool Parade. I'm Caroline Cheatham. |
| 0:10.9 | And I'm Liz Hall. Today, Paul Doyle is facing his fate for ramming his car into dozens of football fans in Liverpool, |
| 0:18.2 | and many of his victims were in court to witness it. |
| 0:22.4 | They gasped and broke down in tears as the dash cam footage from Paul Doyle's own car was |
| 0:27.5 | played to the court. Frame by frame, it showed men, women and children moaned down as he swore |
| 0:34.6 | and shouted at them for being in his way. As he relentlessly ploughed into the crowd, the footage showed people being swallowed under |
| 0:42.0 | his wheels. Some hit the windscreen, others were barged as they desperately tried to jump |
| 0:46.9 | out of his way. One man bounced off the bonnet and was thrown through the air. |
| 0:52.9 | At one point, Paul Doyle even appeared to avoid a stretch |
| 0:56.2 | of open road, preferring to swerve into supporters who were at least ten deep. Among dozens of |

| 1:19.6 | today for the first time, she sobbed quietly and calmly shook her head. We now know three things. |
| 1:28.2 | It was a miracle no one died. |
| 1:30.8 | That Paul Doyle's own dash cam footage is the reason he changed his pleas to guilty. |
| 1:35.9 | And there has been serious lasting damage to the people he drove into. |
| 1:40.0 | Welcome to episode three, two minutes of carnage. It was a pack courtroom in Liverpool. |
| 1:58.1 | The judge was ready. |
| 1:59.6 | The prosecution barrister was on his feet. |
| 2:02.4 | The press were hastily plugging in their laptops and the jury were sworn in, all waiting for |
| 2:08.4 | Paul Doyle's trial to begin. He was accused of ramming his car into 134 Liverpool football |
