The Leopold and Loeb case refers to the infamous 1924 murder of 14-year-old Robert Franks in Chicago by two wealthy teenagers, Nathan Leopold and Richard Loeb. Motivated by a desire to commit the "perfect crime," they kidnapped and killed Franks, later attempting to cover up their actions. The case gained national attention, particularly during the trial, where renowned lawyer Clarence Darrow defended the duo. He argued for their psychological issues rather than seeking the death penalty. Ultimately, both were sentenced to life in prison, sparking discussions about morality, privilege, and the justice system.
