A man shot dead in the street was "shown no mercy" in a "public execution", a court was told.
Patrick Boyle was killed by a gunman riding an electric bike in Huyton last year. Prosecutors allege the attack was carried out by Reuben Murphy as part of a plot involving co-defendants Ben Doyle and Thomas Walker. All three deny murder.
Mr Boyle was pronounced dead after being rushed to Whiston Hospital on July 1. He had been shot twice by a masked attacker wielding a self-loading pistol on Newway, a cul-de-sac off Lordens Road, just before 6pm.
