Paul Doyle displayed deep remorse in court, shedding tears as harrowing footage of his destructive actions was shown to his victims. The courtroom was filled with those he had harmed, necessitating an overflow area for spectators. Gasps and sorrow filled the room as CCTV and dashcam videos depicted the chaos he caused on May 26.
Throughout his court appearances, Doyle, dressed formally, struggled to maintain composure, often breaking down in tears. The stark footage of his reckless behavior left families visibly shaken, passing tissues to each other. Doyle, who had previously denied responsibility, only admitted guilt shortly before the prosecution was set to present its case.
Details of Doyle’s deceitful statements to the police were met with disbelief from families in court. Contrary to his claims, his dashcam footage disproved his version of events, revealing a distorted narrative. Victim impact statements outlined the lasting trauma suffered by the 134 individuals injured in the incident.
As Doyle sat stoically, surrounded by prison guards, emotional accounts of the mental and physical scars endured by victims were read aloud. Facing 31 charges, including multiple counts of causing harm with intent and dangerous driving, Doyle awaits sentencing, scheduled for the following day.
