THE KILLER of Rhys Jones has reportedly been urged by his fellow lags to sue the makers of Little Boy Blue because it makes him look “evil” for gunning down the youngster.
Sean Mercer was given a life sentence after he was found guilty of killing 11-year-old Rhys Jones in Liverpool in 2007.
Mercer has allegedly complained about the ITV drama which features Paddy Rowan who portrays him.
Mercer, who currently being protected round the clock by officers in Frankland Prison in County Durham, has reportedly moaned that the television series is inaccurate.
He has allegedly said the shooting was an “accident” and he “didn’t mean to do it”, according to the Daily Star.
A source said: “He [Mercer] thinks the show has made him look like the most evil man in Britain when he isn’t.
“He says one of the characters on TV doesn’t exist in real life.
“His mates inside reckon he should make the most of it and sue. Some say they know lawyers itching to take the case.”
He originally denied gunning down his victim and remained silent during his 10-week trial but he was convicted by a jury.
Other gang members were also sentenced for assisting an offender.
James Yates, 28, and Dean Kelly, 25, were jailed after supplying the firearm and helping to hide Mercer when he was on the run from cops after the killing.
They both appear in the ITV series.
