A drug dealer who killed a 9-year-old Liverpool girl when he tried to gun down a rival was sentenced to life in prison Monday for murder during an emotional hearing he refused to attend. Thomas Cashman, 34, who declined to appear in Manchester Crown Court because he said the proceedings were turning into a circus, was convicted of murder in the Aug.
Justice Amanda Yip said the shooting that shocked the nation was a “planned execution” and even if the girl was not Cashman's target he'd shown no regard to who might be struck by gunfire.Under the sentence, Cashman must serve a minimum of 42 years before being eligible for parole. Her father, John Pratt, told the court in a statement directed at Cashman and read by prosecutor Henry Riding that he had seen his daughter the day before she was killed for the first time in two years because of the COVID-19 pandemic.“I am heartbroken. Sometimes I just want to end it so that I can be with Olivia again,” he said. “I want to visit Olivia, and I sometimes sit outside the cemetery but I can’t go in because if I do it’ll all seem too real.
