Azaria’s attorneys seek delay of sentence to turn to Supreme Court

Elor Azaria’s attorneys are asking the military appeals court for a 30-day stay of his sentence to give them a chance to appeal his manslaughter conviction and 18-month sentence to the Supreme Court.

The last appeal is not automatic. The Supreme Court must agree to hear the appeal first, and arguments are underway in the courtroom over whether Azaria must be serving his sentence when he files the request to appeal.
