Link to article about two civilians being executed for spying post-WWII. It's a biased article, but has some interesting details I had not been aware of!
That was Julius and Ethel Rosenberg and it had nothing to do with WWII. It was well after the war. They were executed in 1953 on conspiracy to commit espionage.
During Brett Kavanagh’s Supreme Court Interview, Lindsey Graham bought that up. Kavanagh knew the case and was able to quote case no’s. etc. It was a shock at the time, because it was insinuated at the time was Kavanagh prepared to sit on such cases. I believe it would be a Military Tribunal for espionage. They didn’t languish in jail long after conviction and were electrocuted.
Thank you for the correction! I read the article and just accepted that it was accurate without verifying any details. I am not familiar with the story and ought to have done more research. Thanks again.

The Rosenberg's were electrocuted in the electric electric chair for their treason. Ethel's session was reportedly very messy.
I thought I read they were hung. I’ll go and correct my mistake. Thanks so much for letting me know!
