In this episode, we unravel The Leopold and Loeb Case, a landmark 1924 murder that stunned the nation. Leopold and Loeb—two wealthy, highly intelligent university students—conspired to commit a murder they believed would be “perfect.” Instead, their crime became one of the most infamous trials in U.S. history.

We examine:

  • The psychological dynamics between Leopold and Loeb
  • Their planning of the Bobby Franks murder
  • The evidence that brought them down
  • Clarence Darrow’s historic mitigation argument
  • How the case transformed American criminal justice

A must-listen for fans of true crime storytelling, criminology, forensic psychology, and legal history.
