At the opening of the trial Demjanjuk's lawyer, Ulrich Busch,
said the case should never have been brought to trial, citing others
where guards at Sobibor were acquitted: "How can you say that those who
gave the orders were innocent -- and the one who received the orders is
guilty?" Busch demanded. "There is a moral and legal double standard
being applied today."
