Court To Announce Verdict In Demjanjuk Trial

MUNICH, GERMANY – MAY 12: John Demjanjuk (C) and his lawyers Ulrich Busch (2L) emerge from a Munich court after a judge sentenced him to 5 years in prison for charges related to 28,060 counts of accessory to murder on May 12, 2011 in Munich, Germany. The Munich regional court annulled the arrest-warrant for Demjanjuk and announced his release today. Demjanjuk, 91, had been extradited to Germany after living for years in the U.S. to face trial on accusations that he was a guard at the notorious death camp of Sobibor in Poland where up to 250,000 Jews died during World War II. Demjanjuk was born in Ukraine and served in the Russian Army during the war before he was captured by the Nazis, and prosecutors claim he agreed to serve as a Sobibor guard. Demjanjuk has always claimed his innocence, saying he was never at Sobibor, Treblinka or Trawniki. (Photo by Johannes Simon/Getty Images)
