Virtual talk from the Great Trials that Changed History Series: "The Trial of Leopold and Loeb - Inside the Criminal Mind" Online
The retired Honorable Judge Dennis J. Curran will give another interesting talk - this time via Zoom - from his "Great Trials" series. The topic for this evening will be "The Trial of Leopold and Loeb: Inside the Criminal Mind."
This sensational case arose out of the murder of a 14-year old boy, Bobby Franks, in a tony suburb of Chicago. The nation's attention was riveted by this tragedy, and decades of study have been focused on how and why two sons of privilege and wealth committed this utterly heinous and completely unnecessary murder. Some say they did it "for the sheer thrill of it;" others maintain psychological factors were at work. What is your opinion?
