[REPORTER 1] Over the weekend,
Demjanjuk died in Germany at the age of 91. He was convicted last year,
after being deported to Germany. He died in a nursing home there
while awaiting the outcome of an appeal. [REPORTER 2] According to German law, if a convicted felon dies
during his appeal proceedings, his guilt is revoked,
and his final verdict remains unknown. The problem is that Demjanjuk passed away between his conviction and his appeal, and therefore,
according to the German law, finally, when he passed away, he passed away, again, uh,
under the presumption that he's innocent
