Welcome to the
Jens Soering Homepage
Jens Soering is a prize-winning author of nine books who has been unjustly imprisoned since 1986. In 2010/11, new DNA-tests and a new witness emerged which support his claim of innocence - but the Commonwealth of Virginia will not let him return to his native country of Germany.
On the following pages you will find background information as well as current developments relating to the Soering case. There are detailed explanations, numerous press reports as well as several TV interviews. In additon you can read excerpts from Jens' books and some of his many published articles on criminal justice issues and contemplative spirituality.
Jens Soering's case has often been compared to that of Amanda Knox, who was freed by an Italian court on October 3, 2011. Read a side-by-side comparison of the two cases here.
