Summary
At Söring’s trial, several factors play a role in his conviction. Later, Söring will make numerous assertions that are intended to prove his innocence. In this episode, we fact check these assertions and compare them with key aspects of the 1990 trial. With the help of Terry Wright’s report, we carefully scrutinize the forensic evidence that allegedly exonerates Söring. We also dissect the supposed “false statements” in Söring’s confessions, while at the same time looking at other details that point to his presence at the crime scene. Hosted on Acast.

#4 The Birth Of “The Soering System”
Release Date: 10/05/2023
Description: In January 1990, Söring is extradited to the United States under the condition that he will not receive the death penalty. Instead, at his trial in the same year, he receives back-to-back life sentences. During his 33 years in prison, Soering adapts to the world around him. He knows how to stand up for himself. And he knows which strategies could one day help him to leave life behind the prison walls. Söring’s goal from day one is to obtain early release. Soering is able to establish a network of supporters whose help he uses to try to obtain early release. One of these supporters is Annabel. Hosted on Acast.

#72 - Debunking Innocence (Andrew Hammel)
Release Date: 09/21/2023
Description: After very publicly advocating for the innocence of a man named Jens Soering, who spent over 30 years in prison for a double murder he says he didn’t commit, we encountered new information that gave us serious reason to doubt his innocence, and we found ourselves in ethical dilemma. This led us to connect with journalist Andrew Hammel to give a fair heaing to the case for Jens Soering's guilt. Before encountering this new information, we released two other projects featuring Jens Soering: Our previous interview with Jens Soering on Labyrinths: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/47-the-ultimate-putz-jens-soering/id1494368441?i=1000557496553 Our podcast series about the Haysom murders on The Truth About True Crime https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/killing-for-love-the-catalyst/id1439490091?i=1000440039285 Get early access to ad-free episodes, bonus content, and more by supporting Labyrinths on patreon. www.patreon.com/knoxrobinson www.knoxrobinson.com Twitter: @amandaknox | @manunderbridge IG: @amamaknox | @emceecarbon Learn more about your ad choices.

Fatal Attraction (Part Two)
Release Date: 05/20/2024
Description: In 1990, Jens Soering, a German honors student at the University of Virginia, was sentenced to life after a spectacular televised trial for the 1985 murders of his lover’s Elizabeth’s parents, Derek and Nancy Haysom. In a classic example of “he said/she said,” at their trials the star-crossed lovers each pointed the finger at the other as the actual murderer. Were Jens and Elizabeth Romeo and Juliet or Macbeth and Lady Macbeth? From his Virginia prison cell,Soering deployed his charm to create his own personal innocence project, recruiting celebrities such as Martin Sheen, John Grisham, Amanda Knox and even Angela Merkel. Soering was paroled and deported to Germany in 2019. Soering sold the rights to his story and launched a media campaign which portrayed him as a victim of America’s cruel and arbitrary courts. Yet skeptics have questioned Soering’s claims, and he is now locked in a pitched battle to define his place in history. A chief skeptic in the matter is Andrew Hammel, a bilingual German/English criminal lawyer and investigative journalist. Mr. Hammel traces the entire story, beginning with the bizarre romance which led to two gruesome killings. Drawing on five years of research and confidential sources with fresh revelations, Hammel takes the reader behind the scenes of one of the most extraordinary true-crime cases in modern history – and its equally gripping aftermath.
