Violent scenes broke out in Liverpool city centre, Southport and Walton
Ms McInerney, prosecuting, tells the court: “The defendant is 19. He was present during the disorder on August 3 in the city centre on The Strand. He was captured throwing a brick. In the following days a number of images were circulated in the press. The particular image pictured the defendant throwing a brick and on August 8 the defendant attended Marsh Lane police station and said it was him.
He stated he wished he could turn back time and his parents were ashamed of him. He has shown genuine remorse. He has never been arrested before. You can imagine his state of mind as he appears before the court today. He is a team leader at a supermarket. He works full time, often working six days a week for long hours.” Addressing the defendant, District Judge Healey says “You pleaded guilty. It's too serious to be dealt with here. You will be sentenced on August 15.
