Season of American Crime Story following the trial and subsequent execution of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg two american citizens who were convicted of providing top secret information about America's nuclear program to the Soviet Union. The case sparked international outrage at the time as many accused the charges levied at the Rosenbergs as being anti-semitically motivated. Years after their execution in 1953 information has been declassified proving Julius's involvement in espionage but also clearing Ethel's involvement. During the trial, the prosecution said that Ethel had been directly involved but not only does recent evidence seems to suggest that at worst she was only an accesory, but the cheif witness against her at the trial David Greenglass (her own brother) admitted that he had lied under oath, after being pressured by prosecutors, to protect his wife. In recent numerous calls have been made to pardon Ethel Rosenberg.
