      The 1924 murder of a child in Chicago by affluent college students Nathan Leopold and Richard Loeb, driven by a desire for thrill, shocked the nation. Their belief in their intellectual superiority led them to think they could evade capture. Upon their arrest, state's attorney Robert Crowe aimed for the death penalty, but the families enlisted renowned defense attorney Clarence Darrow. This case became one of the most sensational trials in American history, raising profound questions about morality, justice, and the influence of wealth.
