The Jens Soering Case: A New Verdict31 Okt 2023

8) The trial

A German citizen on trial in an American court: This unusual constellation throws an interesting light on the divergent features of the two legal systems. In the eighth episode, the two hosts talk about the role of criminal defense lawyers in court, and how the public perception of the trial has had a lasting impact on Jens Soering.

How should the proceedings against him in 1990 be assessed today, considering all of the surrounding circumstances?

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.
