Demjanjuk attends shortened trial session

None

A court session at the trial of John Demjanjuk has been shortened to allow the defendant time to rest after receiving a blood transfusion.

 

Judge Ralph Alt ordered that Tuesday's session be curtailed after the 90-year-old retired Ohio autoworker had the transfusion on Monday - something he has undergone about once a month. Demjanjuk is being tried on 28,060 counts of accessory to murder related to his alleged activities as a guard at the Nazis' Sobibor death camp. He denies the charges. (AP)
