The Soering Case Episode 2: The DNA Issue

Welcome to my Part 2 of my series of videos about the Jens Soering case. Here are the chapters: 00:00 Part 1 -- A Short Introduction to Forensic DNA 06:40 Part 2 -- "Two Unknown Males" -- DNA in the Soering Case 16:25 Part 3 -- Polling the Experts 25:00 Part 4 -- Why Won't Soering Request New DNA Testing? I’m an American lawyer and writer living in Germany. The first series on this channel will be a deep dive in the case of Jens Soering. Soering was convicted in 1990 of the 1985 murders of Derek and Nancy Haysom in Bedford County, Virginia. He was released on parole and deported to Germany in 2019. He is now trying to establish a career in Germany as a life coach and online influencer, while simultaneously claiming his innocence. I apologize for the audio issues in this video -- I'm still learning the ropes. But hey, I'm assuming you're here for the information, not my good looks or ace editing skills. And whatever else this vide is, it's packed with information! Please put any questions or suggestions in the comments.
