WASHINGTON — John Demjanjuk, who allegedly aided in the slayings of 29,000 Jews at a German-run death camp in Poland, was denied an emergency appeal by a Supreme Court justice Thursday, all but clearing the way for him to be sent to Germany to stand trial for war crimes. Justice John Paul Stevens denied Demjanjuk’s appeal without comment.
Lawyers argued the ill 89- year-old would suffer “severe pain and suffering,” akin to torture, if he were put on an airplane and flown to Germany.
