Accused Nazi not fit for trial
German prosecutors say they’ve shelved their Nazi war crimes investigation of a retired Minnesota carpenter who was exposed as a former commander in an SS-led unit, saying the 96-year-old is not fit for trial. Munich prosecutor Peter Preuss said Friday that his office had made its decision in the case of Michael Karkoc based on “comprehensive medical documentation” from doctors at the geriatric hospital in the U.S. where he is being treated.
