A 98-year-old retired New Jersey math teacher implicated in a Cold War atomic espionage case lost her bid on Thursday to throw out her conviction, which she called a McCarthy-era injustice.
In 1950, the image of Miriam Moskowitz, a neighborhood Jewish woman, being arrested on espionage charges lit up the pages of the Forverts.
More than half a century after a jury implicated Miriam Moskowitz in the espionage trial of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, the 98-year-old is asking a judge to throw out her 1950 conviction.
