The Greek chopper pilot, who for six weeks played the grieving widow after smothering his Brit wife to death, has appealed for more time to prepare his case as he begun his shameless bid to overturn a life sentence.
Babis Anagnostopoulos, aged 35, told appeals court judges in Athens on Monday that his lawyer had “fallen sick and is in hospital and cannot represent me” before requesting that the case be adjourned. A new hearing was set for May 8th.
The unexpected turn of events – it was the third time the trial has been postponed- was met with guffaws in the court room where the pilot was escorted by uncuffed and unmasked.
