It's possible, considering the severity of the crime, that they set the sentencing for another date while they wait on reports (background/psychological assessment, etc.).
They're not waiting for anything, they had 7 years to wait. But yeah it's been left for another day, not sure if that is a formality or they are just doing it to alleviate pressure.
Yeah, I worded that badly, I meant they're waiting for sentencing material etc. From what I read about Greek criminal procedure, the Judge will need to consider sentencing submissions from the parties and mitigating circumstances before imposing sentences for each accused, and write up their reasons for decision. Given this trial has taken 7 years, it makes sense that they need a few days to do all that stuff.
It's gonna be tomorrow from what I heard. Their lawyers are now scrambling to find ways to get them a smaller sentence, hope it doesn't work.
Talking about lawyers, I used to hang out with the son of one of the Golden Dawn lawyers. He is a trans man and a leftist, as an extra fuck you to his dad lol

Fuck, that's quick, but considering how intense things seems to be, it's probably the smart thing to do.
I could never do defence for fascists— the lawyer's son sounds like a pretty cool guy though :zizek-ok:
The lawyer chose it 100%. All of them did. He was also a candidate for the EU parliament with Golden Dawn.
I'd say I'm surprised, but he sounds like exactly the kind of person who'd be a lawyer for Golden Dawn.
Another lawyer is literally Mihaloliakos' brother or something.
Damn, sounds like the entire defence team was just a fascist circle-jerk.
