Bodybuilder Paul Bassi, 37, is accused of viciously attacking 23-year-old Kristina Perry July 29, 2018, in their residence near 27 Mile and Van Dyke in Washington Township. The woman suffered more than 50 punches, 100 kicks and 24 stab wounds. Bassi is shown in a video attacking the woman and throwing candles at her.
He was scheduled Wednesday to be sentenced before Macomb County Circuit Judge Joseph Toia. After the plea withdrawal, Toia set a Dec. 9 pretrial hearing.
Bassi pleaded no contest in September to attempted murder, torture and illegally possessing steroids. His defense attorney David Griem blamed Bassi’s steroid abuse for the attack.
The woman had sought to have the charges against Bassi dropped after he was charged, said Macomb County Prosecutor Eric Smith.
