FACTFILE
A local man, known by the local
teenagers as a bully arranged to have a fight with one of
them. The man had been picking on the kids for years, but
the now teenagers decided enough was enough. A previous
fight between the man and youngsters had ended up with the
man being beater. A new fight was arranged, for:-
Monday 14th September 2009.
The man, Jonathon McDonald,
although in his 30's and far older and bigger than the local
kids called in friends of a similar age and size, in
particular was 33 year old Peter Hollywood. McDonald
had previous run ins with the youngsters and this was seen
as a "straighener", to prove his metal. who needed to prove
how hard he was to friends. Hollywood and friends gathered
in local wasteland, armed with knives. Hollywood had a large
kitchen knife.
A brawl started, and 18-yeal old
Jamie Kelly, who had been completely innocent up till this
point, stepped in to defend a friend. He was viciously
attacked suffering multiple stab wounds.
The teenager was carried away
from the brawl on wasteland near Delamore Street, Kirkdale,
and was rushed to hospital in a taxi by friends, one of the
knife wounds had pierced his lung, once at hospital the
adrenalin kicked in, he walked into the hospital before
collapsing in front of a doctor, he died later that day of
his fatal wounds.
28th April 2010, At
Liverpool Crown Court Hollywood and McDonald denied murder,
but, Hollywood admitted stabling and slashing at 18-year-old
Jaime Kelly. But claimed this was an act of self defence,
saying he only slashed at Jamie to get him away. Hollywood
said:- "When I stabbed
him in the legs and bum, I just wanted him to go down so I
could get away.”
7th May 2010, Hollywood
found guilty of murdering Jamie Kelly. McDonald was
acquitted. The jury took seven hours to give a unanimous
verdict.
11th May 2010,
Hollywood sentenced to life with
a minimum term of 20 years. Eligible for parole 6th May
2030.
After sentencing The judge said:
"I am entirely
satisfied that you and other friends of Jonathan McDonald
set out to ensure he was not humiliated again when a fight
which you arranged between him and [the victims friend
which] took place at lunchtime that day. I am quite
satisfied you armed yourself with knifes. In particular, you
took a large kitchen knife. You were not the only person who
took knives. There are others who should be in the dock. You
have through this trial protected them... There was, in my
judgement, a significant degree of planning and
premeditation of the possible use of knives. The victim was
also vulnerable. You are a large 33-year-old man who was in
the company of others. Jamie Kelly was only 18 when you
killed him. The attack was ferocious... The family have lost
a son and a grandson on the verge of adulthood and will
forever mourn his loss and what would have been."
14 September 2014,
Police offer a £5,000 reward for
further information leading to conviction of others in the
case.
