Felipa The story behind 'Strange Fruit' (10) RE: The story behind 'Strange Fruit' 02 Jan 17

in case you didnt read the article, which I did, the two boys were the orphaned sons of the Rosenberg. They have petitioned US President Obama to exonerate their mother Ethel

Seton Hall Law School Center for Policy and Research releases scathing report (12.14.16) detailing the miscarriage of justice in the arrest, prosecution, and execution of Ethel Rosenberg, entitled "The Government's Hostage: The Conviction and Execution of Ethel Rosenberg."

The report notes: "The conclusion in the July 17, 1950 FBI memo, stating that the evidence against Ethel was insufficient to warrant prosecution, remained true throughout her arrest, prosecution, conviction, and execution.

The reason for her prosecution seems clear: Ethel was executed because she refused to cooperate with the Government to help convict her husband, Julius. Ethel was merely a pawn used for leverage in the government's attempt to build a case against Julius Rosenberg."

I hadnt known this was still a "live" issue. Petition link is http://www.rfc.org/ethel
