Expert can't confirm John Demjanjuk's signature

[DainBramaged]

A court-appointed expert says she can’t confirm or reject the authenticity of John Demjanjuk’s signature on a key piece of evidence at his trial on charges he was a Nazi death camp guard.


Handwriting expert Beate Wuellbeck told the Munich state court on Wednesday only three letters were clearly recognizable and she could not verify the authenticity of the signature. Prosecutors say the signature on the identity card from the Nazis’ Sobibor death camp is Demjanujuk’s.

Defense attorney Ulrich Busch is requesting another opinion from a Cyrillic script specialist.

Ukrainian-born Demjanjuk is standing trial on 28,060 counts of accessory to murder for allegedly having been a Sobibor guard. The retired Ohio autoworker denies the charges. The defense maintains the picture ID card is fake.

Do not give me the "innocent until" line; I'm not on the jury. I DO know that Nazi-hunters work, as God's Mills, exceedingly fine.
