Six years after he was convicted of murdering his girlfriend's parents, Jens
Soering made his first trip back to Bedford County Circuit Court today.
(----------------)
VO-NAT
SUPER=03-Bedford;
Soering is seeking a new trial, claiming investigators withheld crucial
evidence from his 1990 trial that would have cleared him of the murders.
That jury found Soering guilty of stabbing to death Derek and Nancy Haysom
in their Boonsboro home in April of 1985.
Today, a former Bedford County deputy testified he questioned two drifters a
few days after the murders, one of whom reportedly dropped a knife in his
patrol car.
Lab tests show the knife could have been used to commit the murders.
The two men later were arrested for stabbing a homeless man to death in
Roanoke.
Soering's attorney claims had the 1990 jury heard this evidence, they might
have found her client not guilty.
(----------------)

SS=HOLD
Both sides argued today whether that evidence was improperly withheld, and
whether it would have had any impact on the jury.
Judge William Sweeney will decide later whether to grant Soering's request
for a new trial.
