The trial of suspected a Nazi war criminal in Manhattan ended after two weeks of testimony. But the federal judge will accept further evidence before issuing a ruling, which is not expected for several months.

Reimer is accused of lying about his wartime activities on a U.S. visa application and can be stripped of his citizenship if found guilty.
