Until when did Hiss maintain his innocence?

  • Until his death in 1996

  • Till his second trial

  • Until his release from prison

  • Until the 1970s

Answer

Hiss proclaimed his innocence until his dying breath in 1996, never wavering from his claim that he was a victim of a political conspiracy. Despite overwhelming evidence against him, including incriminating documents obtained from a hidden camera by Whittaker Chambers and the subsequent testimony of other witnesses, he maintained his stance unflinchingly throughout the trials, appeals, and even after serving his prison sentence.
