| | After the testimony, in an odd and unexplained legal action, Rosenberg attorney Emanuel A. Bloch had the Greenglass testimony impounded in the name of "national security" (it would not be released until 1966). During the trial, Bloch claimed Greenglass wanted revenge for their business failure and attempted to discredit his character and testimony (a legal tactic which failed with the trial judge). Greenglass was sentenced to 15 years in prison, served 10 years, and later reunited with his wife. | | After the testimony, in an odd and unexplained legal action, Rosenberg attorney Emanuel A.

In 1996, Greenglass admitted to New York Times reporter Sam Roberts that he had lied under oath about the extent of his sister Ethel's involvement in the plot, wanting to protect his wife Ruth. At the trial, he testified that Ethel Rosenberg typed his notes to give to the Russians, when it was probably [[Ruth Greenglass]]. Soviet intelligence officers later said they believed Ethel was not an active part of Julius's espionage ring, and Greenglass's crude drawings were not very useful to them since they already possessed Klaus Fuchs' superior information. Greenglass explained, "Look, I had a wife and two children. I didn’t care so much what happened to me, but I cared what happened to them.” When Roberts asked Greenglass if he would have done anything differently, he replied, "Never." | + | After his release in 1960, the Greenglasses lived in [[New York City]] under an assumed name.
