A man was today found guilty of murdering a prison officer shot in a 'revenge' killing after he exposed an affair between a convict and a female officer.
Lenny Scott, 33, from Prescot, Merseyside, was shot six times outside a gym in Skelmersdale, Lancashire, on February 8 last year by a gunman in a hi-vis jacket.
Mr Scott found a mobile phone in former prisoner Elias Morgan's cell at HMP Altcourse in Liverpool in March 2020, Preston Crown Court previously heard.
The phone contained evidence that 35-year-old Morgan was having a 'sexual relationship' with prison officer Sarah Williams, prosecutor Alex Leach KC said.
Morgan, the father of twins, told Mr Scott to 'balls up the paperwork' and even offered him £1,500 not to report the phone, jurors were told. But the prison officer submitted the paperwork, resulting in Morgan and Williams being prosecuted.
