I Rest My Case is a hard-hitting new podcast series that explores the world’s most intriguing true crime cases, hosted by two distinguished British and American criminal defence attorneys, Jonathan Goldberg KC and Dean Strang.



Dean Strang is most famous as a key defence attorney for Steven Avery in Netflix's Making A Murderer. Jonathan Goldberg KC is one of the UK's leading trial advocates and defenders. He has defended in over a hundred murder trials and defended many high-profile defendants, from the infamous Charlie Kray to the innocent Marine A.



From the headline-making cases of Jeffrey Epstein and Kevin Spacey to history’s most fascinating trials, Jonathan and Dean will shine light into the dark crevices of famous trials. Weaving fascinating personal anecdotes from their illustrious careers in criminal law on both sides of the Atlantic, Jonathan and Dean take listeners behind the curtain to reveal stories of their most unpleasant (and pleasant) criminal clients, the roots of the British and American justice systems, and why these systems so often get it wrong.

    In the final episode of this season of I Rest My Case, hosts Dean Strang and Jonathan Goldberg KC dissect the infamous 1951 trial of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg—and co-defendant Morton Sobel—as "the American Dreyfus case."​ They explore the Cold War-era espionage conspiracy charges under the 1917 Espionage Act, amid fears of Soviet atomic secrets stolen from the Manhattan Project. They trace the unraveling from Klaus Fuchs's confession to Harry Gold, David Greenglass (Ethel's brother), and ultimately the Rosenbergs, set against post-WWII tensions and the Venona Project's decrypted cables.

    Slander, malice and defamation in high society: the spectacular trial and persecution of Oscar Wilde
    Feb 12 2026

    "I Rest My Case" dives into the dramatic trials of literary genius Oscar Wilde, triggered by a explosive libel accusation from the Marquess of Queensberry labeling him a "posing sodomite."​ Dean Strang, and Jonathan Goldberg KC, unpack Wilde's three rapid-fire courtroom battles—from his ill-fated criminal libel suit against Queensberry, to two devastating gross indecency prosecutions that ended in a two-year hard labor sentence. They spotlight legendary cross-examinations by Sir Edward Carson, Wilde's risky "feasting with panthers" lifestyle amid Victorian hypocrisy, and contrasts with modern cases like Kevin Spacey.
