I would have expected a lower sentence, because the arguments of the prosecution for a sentence of six years were just as refutable as everything else." 10. Wide of journalists outside courtroom 11.

SOUNDBITE (German) Ulrich Busch, lawyer for John Demjanjuk: "We will appeal the sentence, but he of course is happy that he is free again today. The question now is how he can handle his health problems and social problems, this will be the great difficulty in the coming days." 14. Journalists and visitors outside courtroom 15. SOUNDBITE (German) Stefan Scheunemann, co-plaintiff: "We expected a sentence of between five and six years, that is the conviction we expected. Also because there is a maximum penalty of fifteen years for such a high number of victims, and Demjanjuk also had to be credited in some form for the eight-and-a-half-year imprisonment after his trial in Israel." 16. SOUNDBITE (English) Vera de Jong, relative of a victim of Sobibor camp: "I am relieved, I am very much relieved that I don't have to have all the stress that I have to come and sit here, and hear all horrible things what happened during the war and what happened to my family." 17. Mid shot of people outside courtroom 18. SOUNDBITE (English) Helen Hide, relative of a victim of Sobibor camp: "I'm surprised, I'm shocked, I'm sad, but I think perhaps it's finished now. You can't go on and on, he's an old man, but it's the principle. I'm a schoolteacher, and I think if you were involved in crime you will be punished some time." 19. Wide of people outside courtroom STORYLINE: Retired US autoworker John Demjanjuk was convicted of thousands of counts of acting as an accessory to murder at a Nazi death camp, and sentenced on Thursday to five years in prison, a ground-breaking verdict that closed one chapter in a decades-long legal battle. Judges ordered him released pending appeal. After the verdict he had to run the gauntlet of the media as he was wheeled through the corridors of the court building by one of his lawyers, Ulrich Busch. Reporters were told he would not answer any questions. Demjanjuk was found guilty of 28,060 counts of being an accessory to murder, one for each person who died during the time he was ruled to have been a guard at the Sobibor camp in Nazi-occupied Poland. Demjanjuk has denied the charges, but declined the opportunity to make a final statement to the court. Defence lawyer Guenther Maull said he had expected a lower sentence "because the arguments of the prosecution for a sentence of six years were just as refutable as everything else." Demjanjuk's son, also called John, said the defence would appeal. Presiding Judge Ralph Alt ordered that Demjanjuk be freed during his appeal, a process that is likely to take six months or more. Demjanjuk is not allowed to leave Germany.
