Ethel Rosenberg's brother's testimony is unsealed more than 50 years after she and her husband were executed for Cold War spying and reveals Ethel may have been WRONGLY convicted

  • Ethel Rosenberg and her husband Julius were put to death in 1953 for conspiring to steal secrets about the atomic bomb for the Soviet Union
  • David Greenglass, who died last year at 92, was indicted as a co-conspirator and was sentenced to 10 years in prison
  • Ethel Rosenberg's brother David Greenglass said his sister transcribed information for the Russians but backpedaled in front of a grand jury
  • 'I never spoke to my sister about this at all,' Greenglass said in a grand jury transcript released on Wednesday indicating Ethel may be innocent   
  • District Judge Alvin Hellerstein noted that Greenglass said it was likely his wife Ruth Greenglass and not Ethel who transcribed notes for Soviets
