London — The retrial of a group of men who attacked and killed American Bakari Henderson while he was visiting Greece was again delayed on Wednesday. The attack was captured in a disturbing video as the 22-year-old was beaten to death by a mob outside a bar in 2017.
The next year, nine of the alleged attackers went on trial. Six were found guilty of deadly assault, but no one was convicted of murder for the brutal attack.
A prosecutor in Greece felt the sentences were too lenient, and seven men went back to court on Wednesday morning. But the presiding judge granted the defense team's request for a continuance of the proceedings as no witnesses were able to attend this week. It was the second delay this week: The defense was granted a continuance on Monday due to a lawyer being unable to attend on that date.
