Cold War paranoia, espionage and the electric chair - did justice prevail in the trial of the Rosenbergs?

In the final episode of this season of I Rest My Case, hosts Dean Strang and Jonathan Goldberg KC dissect the infamous 1951 trial of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg—and co-defendant Morton Sobel—as "the American Dreyfus case."​ They explore the Cold War-era espionage conspiracy charges under the 1917 Espionage Act, amid fears of Soviet atomic secrets stolen from the Manhattan Project. They trace the unraveling from Klaus Fuchs's confession to Harry Gold, David Greenglass (Ethel's brother), and ultimately the Rosenbergs, set against post-WWII tensions and the Venona Project's decrypted cables.
