Parents of Bakari Henderson, American killed in Greece in 2017, speak to CBS News ahead of retrial
CBSN
"CBS Mornings" co-host Gayle King sat down with the parents of Bakari Henderson for their first interview before they return to Greece for a retrial in their son's murder case.
Bakari Henderson was 22 years old and on a business trip in Zakynthos, Greece in 2017 when he was chased down by an angry mob and beaten to death following an altercation in a bar. The story drew international attention, but none of the attackers was ever found guilty of murder.
Four and a half years later, his parents Jill and Phil Henderson are still fighting for justice.
Ashley White received her earliest combat action badge from the United States Army soon after the first lieutenant arrived in Afghanistan. The silver military award, recognizing soldiers who've been personally engaged by an attacker during conflict, was considered an achievement in and of itself as well as an affirming rite of passage for the newly deployed. White had earned it for using her own body to shield a group of civilian women and children from gunfire that broke out in the midst of her third mission in Kandahar province. All of them survived. She never mentioned the badge to anyone in her battalion.
