 German court rejects Demjanjuk's trial appeals BERLIN – Germany's highest court has thrown out appeals by John Demjanjuk's lawyer and cleared the way for his trial to begin next month in Munich. Demjanjuk, a retired Ohio auto worker, is charged with being an accessory to the murder of 27,900 people at the Sobibor death camp in Nazi-occupied Poland, where prosecutors allege he served as a guard. His trial is due to start Nov. 30. Germany's Federal Constitutional Court said Wednesday that judges decided unanimously last week to reject complaints from Demjanjuk's lawyer, Ulrich Busch, about decisions to begin the trial and to keep the Demjanjuk in custody. It said that the ruling cannot be appealed. In his complaints, Busch cited the 89-year-old Demjanjuk's health concerns, among other issues. German court rejects Demjanjuk's trial appeals - Yahoo!
