Showdown of the former lovers in court: During the three-week trial in June 1990, Jens Soering and Elizabeth Haysom meet again for the first time since their arrest in 1986. Their encounter takes place in front of the cameras. Elizabeth Haysom takes the stand as the prosecution’s star witness. But how reliable is her testimony? Can you believe a witness who makes a deal with the prosecutor and has lied so many times in the past? How should her unusually close relationship with prosecutor James Updike be assessed?
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.

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage
Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
