The damn threatened him and someone else he was with. He said on the line “you finished”, but I couldn’t swear with words … He was the second, he was a joke about something, but it wasn’t. From that moment on, he changed something for him.

‘They are threatening as a part of prison life, but they don’t matter. There would definitely be comments like ‘I know where you parked your car’, but just brushed them. It was just a lifestyle.

“ After learning this, the first thing that came to my mind was this threat. There was nothing else approaching. ‘

‘The man hit him six times, head and body. Lenny Scott died of injuries. The man traveled on a short distance before returning to Liverpool, on a electric motorcycle he uploaded behind a minibus and fled the scene. The murder says that prosecution is a retaliation action.

“After hearing the evidence, prosecution says at least that you will be sure that Elias Morgan was the murder of Lenny Scott and hired Anthony Cleary to help him do it.

“ This alone Count would make him guilty of the first murder.

Moreover, when you examine the fine details of the evidence, you are not sure that Elias Morgan is guilty of murder by organizing the murder of Lenny Scott, you will be sure that the trigger is the person who attracts the trigger.

“The second defendant Anthony Cleary played a supportive role. Moving on the instructions, the minibus, which contains the electric motorcycle used by the armed, handed over to a residence close to the gym.

Moreover, he knew he had delivered the minibus and bike, so they could be used by an armed man who aimed to kill Lenny Scott or at least to really harm him. ‘

Mr Leach, the jury said: ‘When the evidence you have heard is examined in detail, Elias Morgan’s desire to take revenge and a strong image that Lenny Scott is planning to be killed.

‘Both men are guilty of prosecution, murder.’
