A self-confessed drug dealer says he was in a back garden "off me head on ket" at the time when he allegedly shot a man dead.
Rueben Murphy is accused of murdering Patrick Boyle, 26, in a "public execution" in a Huyton cul-de-sac last summer. But he told a jury he didn't know Mr Boyle and he wasn't the shooter on an electric bike who carried out the killing.
Murphy, 26, and his "best friend" Ben Doyle, 24, both deny Mr Boyle's murder, just before 6pm, on Thursday, July 1 last year. Prosecutors have told Liverpool Crown Court that Lyme Grove in Huyton, where Doyle lived, was "a hub for the launch of the fatal attack".
