In 1924, America was captivated by the trial of Nathan Leopold and Richard Loeb, two wealthy teenagers who killed a 14-year-old boy. According to PBS, Loeb was obsessed with committing the "perfect crime" and Leopold was the lovesick sidekick who would do anything to please his friend. Their attorney was Clarance Darrow who artfully argued his clients out of the death sentence. It was a spectacle made for television.
