| In order to present its apeal to the Supreme Court, the team of
Demjanuk lawyers was joined by an additional local lawyer and former
Judge that left the judicial "toga" for a private practice. This
lawyer, when interviewed, said he joined the team, since no matter
what deeds where attributed to a defendant, he still was entitled
to the best defense available.
He was very criticized because of undertaking the defense of the
person that was charged with killing millions of jews.
Due to reasons that were not published, during the month november
this lawyer went to one of the highest buildings in Jerusalem and
jumped.
After the suicide, the rest of the defense team asked for an additional
6 month delay in order to add an additional lawyer replacing the
deceased one.
The new trial will then be about may.
