How many trials did Hiss face before a guilty verdict?
One
Three
Two
Four
Answer
Two trials were held because the first one ended with a hung jury, unable to reach a unanimous decision. The prosecution's evidence included intercepted telegram messages allegedly containing incriminating information. Hiss consistently maintained his innocence, but the weight of evidence presented and convincing prosecution witnesses contributed to his eventual conviction in the second trial.
