According to some sources the prosecution and judge (entirely improperly?!) discussed marking Sobell for execution along with Julius, rather than Ethel Rosenberg. Anyone know if this is reliable enough to include*? (It would certainly tend to mark out the decision to sentence ER as based on other than strict questions of guilt).

  • eg Congressional Hearings 1982, statement of Maarshall Perlin???

The present article implies that Sobell is no longer living - is this intentional? Linuxlad 14:09, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

Well, we know the sentences on the Rosenbergs weren't based on "strict questions of guilt" because on the evidence presented David Greenglass was guilty of more. His wife Ruth was also named a co-conspirator, but never even charged.--Jack Upland (talk) 03:31, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
