James Witham used a Scorpion submachine gun to spray bullets into the home of Ashley Dale
The prosecution in the Ashley Dale murder trial has suggested to the jury why James Witham admitted killing Ashley Dale three months before the trial started.
James Witham has admitted to using a Skorpion submachine gun to kill Ashley, but claims he did not see or hear her. He insists that he was instead attempting to "send a message" to her boyfriend Lee Harrison, who was not present at the time.READ MORE: Man stabbed in house as five people including girl, 17, arrested
"He was prepared to tell you lies of an extreme nature. He knew he had killed Ashley. He was going to come to this trial and say ‘nothing to do with me’. Of course, people may tell lies for many reasons, but let me be clear what the prosecution case is. Mr Greaney went on to suggest to the jury that Witham then decided to be the "fall guy" for the other defendants. He said: "Since then James Witham has sought to admit the very least he can. Moreover, he has sought to be a fall guy for the other defendants. James Witham has told lies to conceal the full extent of his own wrongdoing, to secure a better outcome for himself and to help the other members of his gang.
