MUNICH (AP) — German judges hearing the case of John Demjanjuk have rejected a defense request to have prison doctors called as witnesses to testify about his health.
Tuesday’s ruling came as the court rejected a total of 23 defense motions, including calls for more evidence from Ukraine and Russia.
Demjanjuk is standing trial on 28,060 counts of accessory to murder for allegedly having been a guard at the Nazi’s Sobibor death camp.
He denies ever being a camp guard, saying he has been mistaken for someone else.
The 90-year-old has multiple health problems and the defense says he is no longer fit for trial.
Attorney Ulrich Busch had asked the court to allow two doctors who treat him to testify. But judges said the court doctor’s opinion was sufficient.
