The Jens Soering Case: A New Verdict31 Loka 2023

5) The sockprint and the shoe

“It fits Soering like a glove” — that’s what the prosecutor told the jury about a sock print found at the crime scene. After the trial one of the jurors confirmed that Jens Soering was only found guilty because of a sock print called LR3.

But how does Judge Ralph Guise-Ruebe see this piece of evidence today? Was it “junk science” or conclusive proof of guilt? How much weight should sock print analysis be given in criminal proceedings?

More on this in this episode of the podcast “The Jens Soering Case – A New Verdict.”

Due to the international nature of the case, the original voices of Daniela and Ralph were replaced with English AI voices so that English-speaking listeners can also enjoy the podcast. However, in Episode 10, you will hear the original voices of the two hosts.

If you want to learn more about the Jens Soering case, Investigator Chuck Reid shares his perspective in an exclusive report. He delves into observations and evidence that didn't even come to light during the original trial.
