A Correction Re: Söring’s Lawyer’s Phone Call

Andrew Hammel

I'd like to thank the Wikipedia editor Elefantikus -- during an exchange on the German Jens Söring Wikipedia page, he pointed out a part of the trial testimony that seems to contradict the meaning of one of the Söring custody log entries I have mentioned in my writing on the case. The entry in question… Continue reading A Correction Re: Söring’s Lawyer’s Phone Call

“Shut up”: Comic Relief at a Murder Trial

Every time he's interviewed, the interviewer says something like: "This is neither the time nor the place to debate Jens Söring's guilt or innocence." I, for one, happen to think the question of whether the person sitting across from… Continue reading Exciting News: Upcoming Jens Söring Podcast

Mordakte Jens Söring: Vernehmung vom 7. Juni 1986

Andrew Hammel

Bitte entschuldigen Sie die etwas längere Pause, ich war in letzter Zeit ziemlich beschäftigt. Jetzt aber kommt die neueste Folge von "Mordakte Söring". Diesmal handelt es sich um das Protokoll der Aufnahme der Vernehmung von Jens Söring vom 7. Juni 1986. Diese Vernehmung ist deutlich länger als die beide Vernehmungen, die ich vorhin gepostet habe.… Continue reading Mordakte Jens Söring: Vernehmung vom 7. Juni 1986
