The man accused of assisting Connor Chapman to burn out a car used in the shooting of Elle Edwards will not give evidence in his trial.
Thomas Waring, 20, is charged with assisting an offender and possession of a prohibited weapon and has been in the dock besides Chapman at Liverpool Crown Court. Chapman, 23, denies being the man who fired 12 shots at the front of the Lighthouse Pub, Wallasey Village, shortly before midnight on Christmas Eve.
Elle, 26, was struck twice in the head by bullets from a Skorpion sub-machine gun, while five men were also injured. The prosecution case alleges that Chapman was intending to kill two of those men - Kieran Salkeld and Jake Duffy - as part of a violent gang feud.
