True Crime This Week: Espionage

During the week of March 2nd, 1951, Julius and Ethel Rosenberg went on trial for allegedly selling nuclear secrets to the Soviet Union. Their case remains one of the most debated in U.S. history, with questions surrounding their guilt and the motivations behind their execution. That same week in 1991, the CIA Office of Security began investigating one of its own officers: Aldrich Ames.
