ujm,
This question is moot because I very rarely believe in capital punishment in the American Justice System. Prosecutors have abused the system too often. There are so many people on death row today who should not be there.
The Rosenberg trial was a prime example of prosecutors abusing the system. It was the 1950’s and America was at war with Russia/Communism. We didn’t wake up until after the 1970’s , Viet Nam and millions of deaths that we couldn’t win the war and we were never going to lose it.
Ethel definitely should not have been put to death for her part.
