The mother of the teenager accused of killing 11-year-old Rhys Jones has pleaded not guilty to attempting to pervert the course of justice. Janette Mercer, whose son Sean, 18, is standing trial for murder, denies misleading the police investigation by giving false information about a bike owned by her son.
49-year-old Mercer, of Good Shepherd Close, Croxteth, spoke only to confirm her name and enter her plea.
Francis Yates, 48, and Marie Yates, 50, are also charged with perverting the course of justice.
Their son James, 20, is one of five people charged with assisting an offender.
