The Rosenberg and Dreyfus Trials: Two Examples of Botched-Up Justice.
This study will take a detailed look at the Rosenberg and Dreyfus trials. The facts as presented and the procedures used will be the primary areas of focus. The verdicts, subsequent appeals, and sentences will also be considered. The cases will then be compared and contrasted and appropriate conclusions will be drawn. In the final analysis, it will be clear that both cases are examples of so-called 'witch hunts' to satisfy prevailing political and or social interests rather than justice. Accordingly, they are both very low points in western jurisprudence. 10 pgs. 12 f/c. 4b.
