  • Jens Söring (Bangkok, 1 de agosto de 1966) es un ciudadano alemán hijo de un diplomático, recibió una beca para superdotados y en 1984 comenzó a estudiar en la Universidad de Virginia, Charlottesville, Virginia, Estados Unidos; allí se enamoró de la estudiante . El 30 de marzo de 1985 Derek y Nancy Haysom, los padres de Elizabeth, fueron asesinados en su casa en Bedford. El 30 de abril de 1986 Jens Söring y su amiga fueron detenidos en Londres, Gran Bretaña. Creyendo erróneamente que todos los portadores de pasaportes diplomáticos gozarían de inmunidad diplomática, y que por lo tanto sería entregado a Alemania, confesó haber matado a los señores Haysom para proteger a su novia, aunque posteriormente se retractó de su confesión. En agosto de 1989, Gran Bretaña se comprometió a extraditar a Jens Söring a Estados Unidos, pero solo bajo la condición de que no fuese ejecutado. El 12 de enero de 1990 fue extraditado y llevado a la cárcel del condado de Bedford. El 4 de septiembre de 1990 fue condenado a dos cadenas perpetuas consecutivas. El 24 de septiembre de 2009 el Instituto de Ciencias Forenses de Virginia emitió un certificado de análisis que indicó que 42 pruebas de ADN del lugar del asesinato fueron examinadas, pero que ninguna correspondía con Jens Söring.​ Jens Söring siempre ha sostenido que es inocente.​​ (es)
  • Jens Söring, usually rendered in English as Jens Soering, (born 1 August 1966, in Bangkok, Thailand) is a German who, in 1990, was convicted in Virginia, United States of America of murdering the parents of his then-girlfriend, Elizabeth Haysom. For her role in the deaths, Haysom was convicted of two counts of accessory before the fact to murder. The killings took place at the Haysom's residence in the unincorporated hamlet of Boonsboro, Bedford County, Virginia in March 1985. Söring (along with Elizabeth Haysom) fled the United States shortly after. They were arrested in London in April 1986. His fight against extradition led to the landmark judgment of the European Court of Human Rights in Soering v United Kingdom that establishes that extradition to the United States is illegal if the accused faces the death penalty. Söring was extradited after the authorities in Bedford County gave assurances that they would not seek the death penalty. Following his arrest in 1986, Söring confessed to the murders during interrogation by police but at his trial in 1990 he pleaded not guilty, claiming he confessed to shield Haysom from prosecution, believing that he had diplomatic immunity. Söring was convicted and sentenced to two consecutive life sentences. Alleging irregularities in the investigation leading to his arrest and in his trial, in the years following his conviction Söring filed a number of legal appeals and post-conviction petitions. All were rejected by the courts. Prior to being granted parole in November 2019, fourteen parole requests were denied and numerous petitions for a gubernatorial pardon were unsuccessful. His parole was granted in November 2019, with Söring being deported back to Germany and barred from entering the United States. During his incarceration, Söring converted from Buddhism to Roman Catholicism and wrote multiple books about his life in prison and his religious beliefs. His 2007 book The Convict Christ was awarded first prize by the Catholic Press Association of North America in the category "Social Concerns". (en)
