Shisha Bar Shooting Trial Postponed Due to Judge's Health Issues
The trial for a 27-year-old man's murder in a Hamburg shisha bar over a year ago will require a restart. Announced by the Hanseatic Higher Regional Court on Thursday, a lay judge is unable to participate due to a long-term illness, necessitating the trial's reopening. As the court stated, it's impossible to replace the judge during the ongoing primary hearing, resulting in a new panel starting the trial on December 7. Further hearings are scheduled for December 12 and 14, as well as every Tuesday and Thursday from January 9 to the end of February.
