A man who was at the wheel of a car that killed a 17-year-old on a motorbike was today cleared of murder.
Brandon Glover, 24, of Pasture Close in Clock Face, hit Harley Lea with his Toyota Corolla on Park Road, near the junction of Blackbrook Road and Boardmans Lane in St Helens in the early hours of October 4 2022. The 17-year-old suffered fatal head injuries after being thrown from the bike and two other bike passengers, Jordan Carter and Louis Coleman, were also injured.
Glover was also found not guilty of manslaughter by the unanimous decision by a jury of 12 after only two hours and 22 minutes of deliberation at Liverpool Crown Court on Thursday. The jury also cleared Glover of two counts of grievous bodily harm with intent in relation to Jordan Carter and Louis Coleman, two counts of causing grievous bodily harm without intent and two counts of attempted GBH in relation to Alexander Owen and Leeland Lea.
