  • In this episode of Crime Time, Inc., we unravel the complexities of the Julius and Ethel Rosenberg case. Accused of espionage and executed in the 1950s, their story is steeped in atomic secrets, Cold War tensions, and lingering questions of justice. We explore FBI records, historical accounts, and personal letters to paint a vivid picture of the trial. From the FBI's discovery of leaked atomic bomb secrets in 1949 to the courtroom drama that became a global event, we delve into the conflicting evidence and ethical dilemmas surrounding the case. Join us as we dissect the prosecution and defense arguments, the global reaction, and recent revelations that continue to fuel the debate on whether the Rosenbergs were guilty masterminds or victims of Cold War paranoia.
