Cold War paranoia, espionage and the electric chair - did justice prevail in the trial of the Rosenbergs?
<p>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.</p><br><p>I Rest My Case with Jonathan Goldberg KC and Dean Strang is a Pixiu Podcast</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

Slander, malice and defamation in high society: the spectacular trial and persecution of Oscar Wilde
<p>"I Rest My Case" dives into the dramatic trials of literary genius Oscar Wilde, triggered by a explosive libel accusation from the Marquess of Queensberry labeling him a "posing sodomite." Dean Strang, and Jonathan Goldberg KC, unpack Wilde's three rapid-fire courtroom battles—from his ill-fated criminal libel suit against Queensberry, to two devastating gross indecency prosecutions that ended in a two-year hard labor sentence. They spotlight legendary cross-examinations by Sir Edward Carson, Wilde's risky "feasting with panthers" lifestyle amid Victorian hypocrisy, and contrasts with modern cases like Kevin Spacey.</p><p>I Rest My Case with Jonathan Goldberg KC and Dean Strang is a Pixiu Podcast</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
