Description
Based on the true story of the 1924 Leopold/Loeb murder case in which Clarence Darrow's history-making defense against capitol punishment saved two Chicago teenagers from a death sentence. Though names were changed, this factual character study focuses on the two boys--one bossy and intimidating, the other sensitive and introverted--who thought their superior intellect would enable them to pull off "the perfect crime." -- adapted from back of container.
