U.S. prosecutors are asking a judge to penalize alleged concentration camp guard John Demjanjuk after his lawyer failed to turn over documents they suspect implicate Demjanjuk, according to the Cleveland Jewish News. The move by the prosecutors from the Justice Department’s Office of Special Investigations comes as a second U.S. trial into Demjanjuk’s wartime actions is scheduled to open May 29 in Cleveland.
