D. Had not been given a fair, impartial trial.

The trial of the Rosenbergs was widely protested by the people of the United States as they believed it to be the reaction of the anti-communist surge within the political ranks of the United States Government. The decades of the fifties were called the Cold war decade, in which tensions between the two superpowers(USA and USSR) escalated, along with the expansion of a nuclear weapon arsenal. This was accompanied by a general hysteria and antagonism for communism towards Soviet Russia in general by the United States. The Rosenbergs were accused of helping and passing on information to the Soviet scientists about the capacity of the USA’s nuclear arsenal. In short, they were charged with sedition and blamed as national conspirators and was awarded the capital punishment. This created a lot of protests from the US public, who believed the Rosenbergs were innocent and that allegations against them were wrong and unfounded.  

Further Explanation-

The design for the atomic bomb was a part of the Manhattan Project, and it came with a high risk of espionage during the Cold war. Julius and Ethel Rosenbergs were engineers and members of the Young Communist Party. They were arrested by the FBI and accused of transferring secret documents and papers relating to the atomic bomb to Soviet officials, and some might argue that this contribution led to immense development in the Soviet nuclear race. The Rosenbergs maintained their innocence and refused to testify against the conspirators, but their communist background worked against them, as there was a fear of communism and a feeling of antagonism towards communists. The fear of communism in the United States propelled by McCarthyism and the Red Scare trials convinced many leading American dailies of the conviction of the Rosenbergs, and they believed that their trial and punishment were fair. However, the public of the United States believed that the crimes of the Rosenbergs were not proved justly and they were victims of this anti-communist sentiment, only because they had a communist background.

Explanation:

Historians later have demonstrated that the supposed information passed by the couple was full of mistakes. The inconsitency adds to the fact that the very head of KGB Pavel Sudoplatov once stated explicitly that the Rosenbergs never belonged to any spy network.

It was not until 1970 that the FBI declassified documents documents that provided the great lie around that polemic trial.

World wide protests however were unsucessfull and the accusations were sold as true until recently.

In Brookly NY, some 8 000 protestants firmly believed that the couple had no ties with the Communist neither the KGB.

The innocence was both confirmed by Lavrenti Beria - Stalins head of securtiy. The Soviets found the opportunity to further continue their nuclear project while the media and public were diverting the attention from the real espionage.
