Fyke Farmer (November 25, 1901 – May 23, 1997) was a Tennessee lawyer, peace activist and world government advocate who became well known for the case of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg.[1]

  1. ^ "Nashville now and then: A lawyer's last gamble". NashvillePost.com. 2007-06-17. Retrieved 2007-08-08. Farmer, working at no charge against the opposition of not only the government but also the Rosenbergs' legal team, had showed up at Douglas's chambers without an appointment, on the day after the high court adjourned for the term. Farmer convinced the jurist that the Rosenbergs had been tried under an invalid law. If they could be charged with any crime, he asserted, it would have to be a violation of the Atomic Energy Act, which did not carry a death penalty, rather than the Espionage Act of 1917.
