Doctors have determined that John Demjanjuk, who is accused of complicity in atrocities as a guard at a Nazi death camp, is fit to stand trial, prosecutors said Friday in Munich. Mr. Demjanjuk, 89, a retired autoworker, was deported from the United States in May. He is expected to stand trial this fall in connection with the deaths of 29,000 Jews at the Sobibor death camp in Nazi-occupied eastern Poland. He and his family say bone-marrow and kidney diseases have made him too ill for trial. But doctors said he was capable of two 90-minute sessions a day, the prosecutor’s office said

Poor Demjanjuk .Im sure he didn't expect that. God works in mysterious ways.
