A defrocked Greek Orthodox priest was charged Thursday with multiple counts of causing grievous bodily harm over an acid attack that injured seven senior bishops and three other people. The 37-year-old Greek man was led to court in lay clothing, handcuffs, and under a heavily armed police escort. The victims of the attack were hospitalized with burns, two in more serious condition. Discarded black robes thrown off by the bishops and attending clergy also had bloodstains and burn holes. "The suspect ... is a psychiatric patient who is taking strong medication," his lawyer Andreas Theodoropoulos said.
