DILLWYN, Va. (AP) — A German diplomat’s son convicted of murder is petitioning Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe for an “absolute pardon” and parole based largely on blood analysis.
Jens Soering is serving two life terms for the 1985 slayings of his ex-girlfriend’s parents. Soering’s petition this week says a blood analysis concludes that Soering, who has Type O blood, was not the source of at least some of the Type O blood found at the scene, The Washington Post (http://wapo.st/2bMPfMB) reported. Investigators said his claim was not new.
“This is no longer about believing me,” Soering, 50, told the newspaper from Buckingham Correctional Center in Virginia. “Unless you’re a climate-change denier and creationist and you don’t believe in DNA, then you have to believe I’m innocent. The only other option is I did it with somebody else, whom I’ve been protecting for 31 years.”
Soering initially confessed to killing the couple but recanted and has insisted he is innocent. He said his then-girlfriend, Elizabeth Haysom, killed her parents and told him afterward. Haysom testified against Soering and is serving a 90-year sentence.
In the absence of hair or fingerprints, prosecutors relied heavily on the presence of the Type O blood to link Soering to the crime.
Maj. Ricky Gardner of the Bedford County Sheriff’s Office, who led the investigation, said Soering’s latest claim is nothing new.

I remember this and saw a documentary.
The kid is SCARY!!
I think the parent’s were interfering in the relationship in one way or another.
Wow. He sure has the leftist moonbat talking points down cold.
“Unless you’re a climate-change denier and creationist and you don’t believe in DNA...”
He is an insane liberal. Let him rot in prison.
If he agrees to vote D in November he’s good to go!
DNA is DNA.
If it wasn’t his blood, then whose was it?
This is not hard folks. If we believe in justice, whats the cost of another blood test.
Who knows? Maybe this guy will go back to Germany and hang out with some muzzies.
If he pays up, he’ll get it from Clinton’s Bag Man.
He and his girlfriend did it.
From what I could glean from the long and rambling NYT article was that there wasn’t enough of a blood sample to get a complete DNA analysis.
The one thing that stood out to me was his original assumption that he had diplomatic immunity and when he discovered he didn’t, I think he had an “oh sh!t” moment and recanted his confession.
The two spoiled psychopaths killed them and got caught . End of story.
The sicko man-child still thinks he can buy his way out .
Why does the Lib media call a guy whose is 50 and whose Dad is long died , a diplomats son like he is 12 .
Why would I believe the so called gossip spun as facts in a few far left wing NY rags who haven't employed a reporter since the 1950 ‘s.
That’s what you get when you base a defense on “Lethal Weapon II”
He is still a German citizen.
He thought being a diplomat’s son was going to get him out of this early on.
Hasn’t worked out for him.
If we hadn’t let that scumbag Clinton’s Bag Man in as Gov. this guy would die in Buckingham Correctional Center.
That’s pretty much what happened.
He thought he was going to get sent back to Germany, not spend his life behind bars in Virginia.
I followed this case closely when it happened.
He did it.
Ten million to the Clinton Crime Foundation could take care of his problems!
He's got those Runaway Bride/Theater-shooter James Holmes eyes!

Just have your family send a few bucks to the Clinton Family Crime Foundation, kid. McAwful will know what to do.
