German court rejects Demjanjuk defense motions

John Demjanjuk accused a German court where he is being tried on charges he was Nazi death camp guard of ignoring evidence Tuesday after the panel of judges hearing his case rejected a raft of defense motions.

In a rare statement to the court, Demjanjuk accused the judges of bias after they ruled that defense requests for investigative files from Russia, Ukraine and elsewhere were too general to be acted upon. They also denied a defense request that the two prison doctors who see Demjanjuk regularly be brought in as witnesses to testify on the 90-year-old's frail health. (AP)
