Attorney Ulrich Busch is asking prosecutors in Rosenheim to open an investigation of five doctors and a nurse on suspicion of manslaughter.
Prosecutor Juergen Branz said Wednesday officials are obliged to investigate all such claims to determine whether to open a case.
Demjanjuk, who suffered from kidney disease, anemia and other ailments died March 17 at age 91.
He was convicted by a Munich court in May on 28,060 counts accessory to murder on allegations he was a guard at the Nazis’ Sobibor death camp. Demjanjuk denied ever being a guard and was appealing.
Thank you Doctors!
Bold Eagles soar above the homes of his physicians.
Let us only hope that his death was a painful one. He should burn in hell together with all the other Nazi murderers. Zoln mir keinmolnisht fargesn oder fargebn di merder fun undzere kedoshim.
This attorney is the idol of lawyers everywhere. He’s trying to milk as much as possible out of his client, even after the client is dead.
Unfortunately with the current corrupt justice system in the US I’m afraid this lawyer could possibly win his case just like this ym”s was leider buried on US soil. A shanda to humanism. The US has become a harbor for terrorists unfortunately under the partial leadership of the current corrupt justice system
Demjanuk should have had an injection of potassium chloride which would have cured him quickly
His client, y”s, was 91 years old! Does he really think he can prove the medicines killed him?!
How long does one get for dog-slaughter?
How dare you write that Demjanjuk was appealing?
