garage certain now that the boy's Alibi

435
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:31,080
was a lie Crow ramped up the

436
00:10:27,190 --> 00:10:31,080



437
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:36,160
pressure they had been left in rooms by

438
00:10:31,070 --> 00:10:36,160



439
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:39,600
themselves under drilling for 24 hours

440
00:10:36,150 --> 00:10:39,600



441
00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:42,400
this was a pinning down of these guts

442
00:10:39,590 --> 00:10:42,400



443
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:45,360
and everything pointed to

444

445
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:48,280
them the two boys were originally held

447
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:51,440
separately in separate rooms and Robert

00:10:48,270 --> 00:10:51,440



449
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:54,600
Crow first went to Richard Richard

450
00:10:51,430 --> 00:10:54,600



451
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:57,520
confessed and then gave Crow details

452
00:10:54,590 --> 00:10:57,520



453
00:10:54,600 --> 00:11:01,560
that only the murderers could have

454
00:10:57,510 --> 00:11:01,560



455
00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:04,040
known Crow takes those details to Nathan

456
00:11:01,550 --> 00:11:04,040



457
00:11:01,560 --> 00:11:06,960
and Nathan realizes that Richard is

458
00:11:04,030 --> 00:11:06,960



459
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:10,160
confessing and then immediately Nathan

460
00:11:06,950 --> 00:11:10,160



461
00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:11,600
also starts confessing but blaming

00:11:10,150 --> 00:11:11,600



463
00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:14,480
everything on

465
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:16,500
Richard so Richard is blaming Nathan

466
00:11:14,470 --> 00:11:16,500



467
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:18,960
Nathan is blaming

468
00:11:16,490 --> 00:11:18,960

Richard the crime both boys admitted had

472
00:11:22,790 --> 00:11:25,400



473
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:28,000
been months in the planning and they'd

474
00:11:25,390 --> 00:11:28,000



475
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:30,280
had every expectation of getting away

00:11:27,990 --> 00:11:30,280



477
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:32,520

00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:35,440
the intention was always to murder from

481
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:38,000
the very beginning it was all part of

483
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:40,000
the plan to commit the perfect crime to

484
00:11:37,990 --> 00:11:40,000



485
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:42,360
do this crime that would be

00:11:39,990 --> 00:11:42,360



487
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:44,520
Sensational and to get away with getting

488
00:11:42,350 --> 00:11:44,520



489
00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:47,200
the ransom that was the

493
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:53,280
down their words first lobe then Leopold

497
00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:58,960
an assumed name to use on the day of the

498
00:11:56,110 --> 00:11:58,960



499
00:11:56,120 --> 00:12:02,680
murder and typed out the ransom note

00:11:58,950 --> 00:12:02,680



501
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:02,680
even even before they chose their

503
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:08,720
victim the afternoon of the crime they

504
00:12:06,630 --> 00:12:08,720



505
00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:11,120

victim and suddenly on the other side of

525
00:12:34,560 --> 00:12:39,200

531
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:48,400
that they'd bludgeoned Franks with a

545
00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:07,160

547
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:10,640

found Crow hoping to build his case and

mind now had Leopold and lobe retrace

00:13:21,670 --> 00:13:24,240



557
00:13:21,680 --> 00:13:27,560
their steps on the day of the murder

00:13:24,230 --> 00:13:27,560



559
00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:29,760
leading investigators and a caravan of

00:13:27,550 --> 00:13:29,760



561
00:13:27,560 --> 00:13:31,600
journalists from the hard ware store

00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:34,320
where they'd purchased the

00:13:41,710 --> 00:13:43,720



571
00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:45,720
sorting out the evidence were Leopold

577
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:53,400

583
00:13:56,480 --> 00:14:03,760

585
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:06,480

645
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:40,680
Franks they said they did it CU they

646
00:15:37,670 --> 00:15:40,680



647
00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:43,800
could because he was there because it

648
00:15:40,670 --> 00:15:43,800



649
00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:47,120
was fun for the thrill of it they didn't

650
00:15:43,790 --> 00:15:47,120



651
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:51,160
seem to show much remorse at

652
00:15:47,110 --> 00:15:51,160



653
00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:52,680
all of the two Nathan Leopold seemed the

654
00:15:51,150 --> 00:15:52,680



655
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:55,080
more chilling

656
00:15:52,670 --> 00:15:55,080



657
00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:57,920
figure when asked how he felt about

658
00:15:55,070 --> 00:15:57,920



659
00:15:55,080 --> 00:16:01,080
Bobby Frank's murder Leopold casually

660
00:15:57,910 --> 00:16:01,080



661
00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:04,400
replied that it didn't concern him it is

662
00:16:01,070 --> 00:16:04,400



663
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:06,960
as easy to justify such a death he said

664
00:16:04,390 --> 00:16:06,960



665
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:09,240
as it is to justify an entomologist

666
00:16:06,950 --> 00:16:09,240



667
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:12,840
impaling a beetle on a

668
00:16:09,230 --> 00:16:12,840



669
00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:14,800
pin Leopold was seen as the monster he

670
00:16:12,830 --> 00:16:14,800



671
00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:17,600
seemed like an evil mastermind where L

672
00:16:14,790 --> 00:16:17,600



673
00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:19,960
seed like such a Carefree Playboy who

674
00:16:17,590 --> 00:16:19,960



675
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:22,200
could easily be led astray by this

676
00:16:19,950 --> 00:16:22,200



677
00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:24,120
stronger darker

678
00:16:22,190 --> 00:16:24,120



679
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:28,120
intellect the truth of the matter of

680
00:16:24,110 --> 00:16:28,120



681
00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:28,120
course is the complete opposite

683
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:40,120
the boys had met four years earlier in

684
00:16:37,390 --> 00:16:40,120



685
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:40,120
the summer of

687
00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:47,560
1920 Richard lobe was then 15 he not

688
00:16:45,030 --> 00:16:47,560



689
00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:49,560
only graduated from high school but

690
00:16:47,550 --> 00:16:49,560



691
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:53,160
already had completed his first year of

692
00:16:49,550 --> 00:16:53,160



693
00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:56,480
college at the University of

694
00:16:53,150 --> 00:16:56,480



695
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:59,560
Chicago Nathan Leopold just 6 months

696
00:16:56,470 --> 00:16:59,560



697
00:16:56,480 --> 00:17:02,080
older was equally precocious

698
00:16:59,550 --> 00:17:02,080



699
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:04,080
he was to begin his freshman term at the

700
00:17:02,070 --> 00:17:04,080



701
00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:07,000
University that

702
00:17:04,070 --> 00:17:07,000



703
00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:09,680
fall they both zoomed through school

704
00:17:06,990 --> 00:17:09,680



705
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:12,240
zoomed into college well ahead of their

706
00:17:09,670 --> 00:17:12,240



707
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:14,880
peers so I think once they were on each

708
00:17:12,230 --> 00:17:14,880



709
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:17,400
other's radar there was a sense of them

710
00:17:14,870 --> 00:17:17,400



711
00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:20,720
sniffing each other out of realizing

712
00:17:17,390 --> 00:17:20,720



713
00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:24,600
here in a way is a kindred

714
00:17:20,710 --> 00:17:24,600



715
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:26,120
spirit in many ways the two had been cut

716
00:17:24,590 --> 00:17:26,120



717
00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:29,280
from the same

718
00:17:26,110 --> 00:17:29,280



719
00:17:26,120 --> 00:17:32,240
cloth both the Scion of wealthy Jewish

720
00:17:29,270 --> 00:17:32,240



721
00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:34,040
families they had been raised in comfort

722
00:17:32,230 --> 00:17:34,040



723
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:36,640
and had spent their childhoods in the

724
00:17:34,030 --> 00:17:36,640



725
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:39,080
constant care of govern's mere blocks

726
00:17:36,630 --> 00:17:39,080



727
00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:42,360
from one

728
00:17:39,070 --> 00:17:42,360



729
00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:44,400
another they became Fast Friends

730
00:17:42,350 --> 00:17:44,400



731
00:17:42,360 --> 00:17:46,360
somewhat to the bewilderment of those

732
00:17:44,390 --> 00:17:46,360



733
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:51,400
who knew them

734
00:17:46,350 --> 00:17:51,400



735
00:17:46,360 --> 00:17:53,600
both Richard lobe was a dazzling human

736
00:17:51,390 --> 00:17:53,600



737
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:55,440
being he was the kind of human being

738
00:17:53,590 --> 00:17:55,440



739
00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:58,040
that when he walked through a room the

740
00:17:55,430 --> 00:17:58,040



741
00:17:55,440 --> 00:18:00,240
molecular energy changed you couldn't

742
00:17:58,030 --> 00:18:00,240



743
00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:02,480
help looking looking at him he wore

744
00:18:00,230 --> 00:18:02,480



745
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:07,360
clothes incredibly well he had a

746
00:18:02,470 --> 00:18:07,360



747
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:10,160
flashing smile he was dazzlingly

748
00:18:07,350 --> 00:18:10,160



749
00:18:07,360 --> 00:18:12,600
handsome Nathan Leopold was the complete

750
00:18:10,150 --> 00:18:12,600



751
00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:16,480
opposite there is something Beetle brow

752
00:18:12,590 --> 00:18:16,480



753
00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:19,200
and intense and dark about Leupold he

754
00:18:16,470 --> 00:18:19,200



755
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:22,160
was the kind of guy I think you'd

756
00:18:19,190 --> 00:18:22,160



757
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:23,880
instantly take a dislike to at a party

758
00:18:22,150 --> 00:18:23,880



759
00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:26,000
he was the no at all who would have an

760
00:18:23,870 --> 00:18:26,000



761
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:28,800
opinion on

762
00:18:25,990 --> 00:18:28,800



763
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:32,560
everything Leopold fell in love with

764
00:18:28,790 --> 00:18:32,560



765
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:34,480
Richard lobe and idolized him and lobe

766
00:18:32,550 --> 00:18:34,480



767
00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:36,000
felt it was nice to have an acolyte it

768
00:18:34,470 --> 00:18:36,000



769
00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:37,640
was nice to have someone around him who

770
00:18:35,990 --> 00:18:37,640



771
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:39,600
would always make him feel beautiful or

772
00:18:37,630 --> 00:18:39,600



773
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:42,440
intelligent or

774
00:18:39,590 --> 00:18:42,440



775
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:45,200
special I think the deeper truth they

776
00:18:42,430 --> 00:18:45,200



777
00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:48,000
sensed another Predator in the room and

778
00:18:45,190 --> 00:18:48,000



779
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:48,000
they were drawn to each

781
00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:55,040
other what would end with the murder of

782
00:18:51,190 --> 00:18:55,040



783
00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:57,160
Bobby Franks had begun almost innocently

784
00:18:55,030 --> 00:18:57,160



785
00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:59,720
with a scheme Richard devised to cheat

786
00:18:57,150 --> 00:18:59,720



787
00:18:57,160 --> 00:19:02,000
at cards

788
00:18:59,710 --> 00:19:02,000



789
00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:04,760
that small transgression had bound the

790
00:19:01,990 --> 00:19:04,760



791
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:06,560
boys together put them in League against

792
00:19:04,750 --> 00:19:06,560



793
00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:09,640
the rest of the

794
00:19:06,550 --> 00:19:09,640



795
00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:11,720
world but Richard longed to play more

796
00:19:09,630 --> 00:19:11,720



797
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:16,040
dangerous

798
00:19:11,710 --> 00:19:16,040



799
00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:19,480
games was crying that fascinated lobe he

800
00:19:16,030 --> 00:19:19,480



801
00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:22,400
read detective novels pul periodicals he

802
00:19:19,470 --> 00:19:22,400



803
00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:25,360
devoured the newspapers for stories of

804
00:19:22,390 --> 00:19:25,360



805
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:28,080
crime and I think to him it's because

806
00:19:25,350 --> 00:19:28,080



807
00:19:25,360 --> 00:19:30,880
there's a certain exceptionality about

808
00:19:28,070 --> 00:19:30,880



809
00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:34,120
crime Criminal are not of the common run

810
00:19:30,870 --> 00:19:34,120



811
00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:34,880
of humanity and he felt he was not in

812
00:19:34,110 --> 00:19:34,880



813
00:19:34,120 --> 00:19:37,640
the common run of

814
00:19:34,870 --> 00:19:37,640



815
00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:40,200
[Music]

816
00:19:37,630 --> 00:19:40,200



817
00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:42,800
humanity Nathan was more than willing to

818
00:19:40,190 --> 00:19:42,800



819
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:46,880
join in but he wanted something in

820
00:19:42,790 --> 00:19:46,880



821
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:49,760
return so the boys made a secret

822
00:19:46,870 --> 00:19:49,760



823
00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:52,280
pact there was an arrangement that

824
00:19:49,750 --> 00:19:52,280



825
00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:56,520
Richard would agree to have sex with

826
00:19:52,270 --> 00:19:56,520



827
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:59,920
Nathan if Nathan accompanied Richard

828
00:19:56,510 --> 00:19:59,920



829
00:19:56,520 --> 00:20:03,360
when he did his crimes

830
00:19:59,910 --> 00:20:03,360



831
00:19:59,920 --> 00:20:04,440
Richard started out by committing small

832
00:20:03,350 --> 00:20:04,440



833
00:20:03,360 --> 00:20:09,720
acts of

834
00:20:04,430 --> 00:20:09,720



835
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:13,280
vandalism stealing cars setting fire to

836
00:20:09,710 --> 00:20:13,280



837
00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:15,520
buildings it escalated more and more and

838
00:20:13,270 --> 00:20:15,520



839
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:21,080
then eventually Richard suggested the

840
00:20:15,510 --> 00:20:21,080



841
00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:24,440
idea to Nathan of committing a

842
00:20:21,070 --> 00:20:24,440



843
00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:27,480
murder Nathan was not only agreeable he

844
00:20:24,430 --> 00:20:27,480



845
00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:29,160
urged Richard on with a concept taken

846
00:20:27,470 --> 00:20:29,160



847
00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:33,160
from the German philosophy

848
00:20:29,150 --> 00:20:33,160

Superman a being so exceptional that he

852
00:20:36,350 --> 00:20:40,360



853
00:20:36,360 --> 00:20:43,600
was bound by neither law nor

854

their own sort of dark and twisted

858
00:20:45,670 --> 00:20:48,160



859
00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:49,400
version of the niichan ideal where they

861
00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:51,840

862
00:20:49,390 --> 00:20:51,840



863
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:52,960
self-identify as the niichan

00:20:56,750 --> 00:20:59,680



869
00:20:56,760 --> 00:21:03,440
act do something that was in their view

870
00:20:59,670 --> 00:21:03,440



871
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:05,720
exalted and befitting of Anan Superman

872
00:21:03,430 --> 00:21:05,720



873
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:08,400
and they thought this act being so

874
00:21:05,710 --> 00:21:08,400



875
00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:10,480
clever committing the perfect murder

876
00:21:08,390 --> 00:21:10,480



877
00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:14,560
would be a way for them to demonstrate

878
00:21:10,470 --> 00:21:14,560



879
00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:17,800
their superiority over other people they

880
00:21:14,550 --> 00:21:17,800

883
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:23,720
and sadistic game now obviously this had

884
00:21:20,790 --> 00:21:23,720



885
00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:26,520
an erotic Dimension but it also had a

886
00:21:23,710 --> 00:21:26,520



887
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:29,440
kind of intellectual Dimension and that

889
00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:31,960
I think is is key to understanding what

890
00:21:29,430 --> 00:21:31,960



891
00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:34,080

he hated capital punishment he did

00:23:01,670 --> 00:23:05,000



953
00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:07,520
probably 60 or more capital punishment

00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:10,240

00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:13,640
one to the hangman and he never got over

959
00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:17,000

00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:19,280
the sin and love The Sinner he believed

962
00:23:16,990 --> 00:23:19,280



963
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:21,640
people act the way they act because

964
00:23:19,270 --> 00:23:21,640



965
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:24,280
they're brought up in poverty or because

966
00:23:21,630 --> 00:23:24,280



967
00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:28,840
they themselves have been ill treated

968
00:23:24,270 --> 00:23:28,840



969
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:30,960
and that the Supreme virtue was Mercy

970
00:23:28,830 --> 00:23:30,960



971
00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:33,520
he believe that everything we do is

972
00:23:30,950 --> 00:23:33,520



973
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:36,680
determined by our upbringing by our

974
00:23:33,510 --> 00:23:36,680



975
00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:38,720
childhood by our parents and therefore

976
00:23:36,670 --> 00:23:38,720



977
00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:42,080
there's very little free choice no free

979
00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:44,120
will so he believed accordingly that

980
00:23:42,070 --> 00:23:44,120



981
00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:46,720
capital punishment the death penalty was

983
00:23:44,120 --> 00:23:50,760
something that should not take

985
00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:53,560

00:24:08,360 --> 00:24:14,560
Darrow sensed an opportunity to tip the

1067
00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:44,800
while the state's attorney had even

1068
00:25:42,670 --> 00:25:44,800



1069
00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:48,000
arranged for Leupold and lob to be

1071
00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:50,640
examined by Chicago's leading alienists

1072
00:25:47,990 --> 00:25:50,640



1073
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:52,680
as psychiatrists were known in an effort

1074
00:25:50,630 --> 00:25:52,680



1075
00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:55,440
to block what he assumed would be

1076
00:25:52,670 --> 00:25:55,440



1077
00:25:52,680 --> 00:26:00,160
Darrow's only possible line of

1078
00:25:55,430 --> 00:26:00,160

00:26:00,150 --> 00:26:03,080



1081
00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:06,800
Insanity Crow's alienists all said that

1082
00:26:03,070 --> 00:26:06,800



1083
00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:09,600
the defendants were perfectly sane and

1084
00:26:06,790 --> 00:26:09,600



1085
00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:11,200
there was nothing wrong with them other

1086
00:26:09,590 --> 00:26:11,200



1087
00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:13,160
than that they simply failed to

1088
00:26:11,190 --> 00:26:13,160



1089
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:16,840
appreciate the enormity of what they'

1090
00:26:13,150 --> 00:26:16,840



1091
00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:20,000
done but that was hardly Insanity that

1092
00:26:16,830 --> 00:26:20,000



1093
00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:22,640

1094
00:26:19,990 --> 00:26:22,640

guilty plea which gave him several weeks

1104
00:26:35,510 --> 00:26:37,560



1105
00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:40,320
to prepare his

1107
00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:42,560
defense next he gathered a team of

1108
00:26:40,310 --> 00:26:42,560



1109
00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:44,560

1133
00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:20,920

00:27:18,110 --> 00:27:20,920



1135
00:27:18,120 --> 00:27:25,400

1139
00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:31,880

1140
00:27:28,950 --> 00:27:31,880



1141
00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:34,840
you know the music is wild the skirts

1142
00:27:31,870 --> 00:27:34,840



1143

1145
00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:40,920
fast

1146
00:27:35,990 --> 00:27:40,920

00:27:40,910 --> 00:27:45,280



1149
00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:49,000
fun was suddenly a very dark implication

1150
00:27:45,270 --> 00:27:49,000



1151
00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:52,480

1153
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:55,200
unchecked wildness can lead to things so

1154
00:27:52,470 --> 00:27:55,200



1155
00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:58,720
there was a lot of uneasiness about who

1156
00:27:55,190 --> 00:27:58,720



1157
00:27:55,200 --> 00:28:00,800
we were and where we were going you had

1158
00:27:58,710 --> 00:28:00,800



1159
00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:03,440
some ministers saying it was because

1160
00:28:00,790 --> 00:28:03,440



1161
00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:06,640
Americans were over educating their

00:28:03,430 --> 00:28:06,640

00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:12,600
too much modernism too much

1166
00:28:09,510 --> 00:28:12,600

1171
00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:20,720
time all of these things rain down on

1172
00:28:18,030 --> 00:28:20,720



1173
00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:20,720

1177
00:28:26,120 --> 00:28:30,680
Darrow sent men into the streets of to

1178
00:28:28,270 --> 00:28:30,680



1179
00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:34,560
Chicago to gauge public

1181
00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:37,520
opinion 60% of those queried thought

1182
00:28:34,550 --> 00:28:37,520



1183
00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:41,360
Leopold and lobe should

1186
00:28:41,350 --> 00:28:42,960



1187
00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:45,720
and to his

1188
00:28:42,950 --> 00:28:45,720

1193
00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:53,440
doubt that I'll be able to save these

1194
00:28:50,870 --> 00:28:53,440



1195
00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:55,560
boys and this is a man who has pulled

1196
00:28:53,430 --> 00:28:55,560



1197
00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:57,280
the trick off dozens of times throughout

00:28:57,270 --> 00:29:01,040



1201
00:28:57,280 --> 00:29:01,040
newspapers are just too

1203
00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:09,480
bad on July 21st 2 months after Bobby

1204
00:29:06,670 --> 00:29:09,480

00:29:09,470 --> 00:29:11,680



1207
00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:14,640
joined prosecutor crow in the criminal

1208
00:29:11,670 --> 00:29:14,640



1209
00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:16,520
court building to present motions before

1210
00:29:14,630 --> 00:29:16,520



1211
00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:19,920
Judge John

1212
00:29:16,510 --> 00:29:19,920



1213
00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:21,920
cavarly it was 10: a.m. and though the

1214
00:29:19,910 --> 00:29:21,920



1215
00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:25,840
already sweltering courtroom was filled

1216
00:29:21,910 --> 00:29:25,840



1217
00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:30,040
to capacity the crowd was mostly

1218
00:29:25,830 --> 00:29:30,040



1219
00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:31,800
silent Darrow disheveled as ever his

1220
00:29:30,030 --> 00:29:31,800



1221
00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:34,560
thumbs hooked under his trademark

1222
00:29:31,790 --> 00:29:34,560



1223
00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:37,080
suspenders spoke first and turned the

1224
00:29:34,550 --> 00:29:37,080



1225
00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:39,800
entire case on its head by entering a

1226
00:29:37,070 --> 00:29:39,800



1227
00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:41,960
plea of

1228
00:29:39,790 --> 00:29:41,960



1229
00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:43,480
guilty he stood up and told the judge

1230
00:29:41,950 --> 00:29:43,480



1231
00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:46,200
that we're going to change the plea to

1232
00:29:43,470 --> 00:29:46,200



1233
00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:48,680
guilty reporters jumped and ran to the

1234
00:29:46,190 --> 00:29:48,680



1235
00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:51,640
rooms in all the afternoon newspapers

1236
00:29:48,670 --> 00:29:51,640



1237
00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:54,040
that Leopold and lob are pleading guilty

1238
00:29:51,630 --> 00:29:54,040



1239
00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:56,520
and when you plead somebody guilty that

1240
00:29:54,030 --> 00:29:56,520



1241
00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:58,720
changes a game entirely because now

1242
00:29:56,510 --> 00:29:58,720



1243
00:29:56,520 --> 00:30:00,920
you're not going to impanel a jury

1244
00:29:58,710 --> 00:30:00,920



1245
00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:04,400
so then it became the judge's decision

1246
00:30:00,910 --> 00:30:04,400



1247
00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:06,200
to decide uh whether they would hang or

1248
00:30:04,390 --> 00:30:06,200



1249
00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:07,720
whether they would be just sent to

1250
00:30:06,190 --> 00:30:07,720



1251
00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:11,320
prison for

1252
00:30:07,710 --> 00:30:11,320



1253
00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:13,280
life Crow who moments earlier had

1254
00:30:11,310 --> 00:30:13,280



1255
00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:16,600
confidently swaggered into the courtroom

1256
00:30:13,270 --> 00:30:16,600



1257
00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:18,600
chomping on a cigar was

1258
00:30:16,590 --> 00:30:18,600



1259
00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:20,800
apoplectic Crow thought he had

1260
00:30:18,590 --> 00:30:20,800



1261
00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:23,800
everything sewn up that he was already

1262
00:30:20,790 --> 00:30:23,800



1263
00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:26,560
ready for a plea by the defense of not

1264
00:30:23,790 --> 00:30:26,560



1265
00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:28,960
guilty on account of

1266
00:30:26,550 --> 00:30:28,960



1267
00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:31,160
insanity Darrow

1268
00:30:28,950 --> 00:30:31,160



1269
00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:33,320
has this radical idea that he's going to

1270
00:30:31,150 --> 00:30:33,320



1271
00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:35,000
introduce evidence about his clients

1272
00:30:33,310 --> 00:30:35,000



1273
00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:38,400
backgrounds and about their mental

1274
00:30:34,990 --> 00:30:38,400



1275
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:41,320
states to argue for a sentence less than

1276
00:30:38,390 --> 00:30:41,320



1277
00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:43,400
death dar's strategy to introduce this

1278
00:30:41,310 --> 00:30:43,400



1279
00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:45,640
evidence was absolutely groundbreaking

1280
00:30:43,390 --> 00:30:45,640



1281
00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:49,000
it was so groundbreaking that no one had

1282
00:30:45,630 --> 00:30:49,000



1283
00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:51,760
ever heard of it the state's attorney

1284
00:30:48,990 --> 00:30:51,760



1285
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:54,560
thought it was completely ridiculous and

1286
00:30:51,750 --> 00:30:54,560



1287
00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:57,640
he shouldn't be allowed to do this

1288
00:30:54,550 --> 00:30:57,640



1289
00:30:54,560 --> 00:31:00,720
Darrow wanted to present psychological

1290
00:30:57,630 --> 00:31:00,720



1291
00:30:57,640 --> 00:31:02,680
weak Ness as a mitigating factor for

1292
00:31:00,710 --> 00:31:02,680



1293
00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:05,800
sentencing so essentially what he was

1294
00:31:02,670 --> 00:31:05,800



1295
00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:08,400
saying to judge Cavalry was we admit

1296
00:31:05,790 --> 00:31:08,400



1297
00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:12,520
that we committed the crime but I'd like

1298
00:31:08,390 --> 00:31:12,520



1299
00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:12,520
to show you why we committed the

1303
00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:23,960

00:31:20,310 --> 00:31:23,960



1305
00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:26,760
underway on the morning of July 23rd

1307
00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:28,600
1924 the stifling courtroom was so

1308
00:31:26,750 --> 00:31:28,600



1309
00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:30,760
thronged with spectators

1310
00:31:28,590 --> 00:31:30,760



1311
00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:32,800
that reporters commandeered the empty

box Crow presented the state's evidence

1316
00:31:35,710 --> 00:31:38,160



1317
00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:40,920
first armed with a lengthy list of

1318
00:31:38,150 --> 00:31:40,920



1319
00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:44,550
witnesses who would provide testimony on

00:31:40,910 --> 00:31:44,550



1321
00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:46,360
every ghastly detail of Leopold and L's

1322
00:31:44,540 --> 00:31:46,360



1323
00:31:44,550 --> 00:31:49,560

1325
00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:52,320
crime even though it's not a trial Crow

1326

1331
00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:58,880
guilt he does so quite thoroughly he

1332
00:31:56,710 --> 00:31:58,880



1333
00:31:56,720 --> 00:32:00,760
introduces more than 80 Witnesses and

00:31:58,870 --> 00:32:00,760



1335
00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:03,560
when he's done there's absolutely no

1336
00:32:00,750 --> 00:32:03,560



1337
00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:06,200
doubt in anyone's mind that Leopold and

1338
00:32:03,550 --> 00:32:06,200



1339
00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:09,160

1341
00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:11,040
offenses these Witnesses would appear

1342
00:32:09,150 --> 00:32:11,040



1343
00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:13,080
and darl would just sort of sit in the

1344

1345
00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:15,640
corner and and do nothing because he

1346
00:32:13,070 --> 00:32:15,640



1347
00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:19,480
realized that to cross-examine the

1349
00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:22,600

00:32:19,470 --> 00:32:22,600



1351
00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:25,600
was there so he he remained

00:32:22,590 --> 00:32:25,600



1353
00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:29,840
silent Crow hammered away at the facts

00:32:25,590 --> 00:32:29,840



1355
00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:29,840
of the case for seven full days

1357
00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:34,120
the senseless brutal slaying of a

1358
00:32:32,310 --> 00:32:34,120



1359
00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:37,000

1363
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:40,960
material

1365
00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:43,120
evidence the glib demeanor of The

1367
00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:46,720
Killers once they'd been

00:32:43,110 --> 00:32:46,720



1369
00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:50,880
caught it was the prosecutor said the

1370
00:32:46,710 --> 00:32:50,880



1371
00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:53,360
most cruel cowardly dastardly murder

1372
00:32:50,870 --> 00:32:53,360



1373
00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:55,400
ever committed in the annals of American

Prudence he demanded the death

1379
00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:06,400
penalty throughout Leopold and lob sat

1380
00:33:03,830 --> 00:33:06,400



1381
00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:08,600
just behind their attorneys

1382
00:33:06,390 --> 00:33:08,600



1383
00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:11,600
snickering it was remarkable one

1384
00:33:08,590 --> 00:33:11,600



1385
00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:14,720
Observer noted to see two kids on trial

1386
00:33:11,590 --> 00:33:14,720



1387
00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:17,360
for their life acting like

1388
00:33:14,710 --> 00:33:17,360



1389
00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:20,880
that one of the things that was very

1390
00:33:17,350 --> 00:33:20,880



1391
00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:22,920
striking was their absence of remorse

1392
00:33:20,870 --> 00:33:22,920



1393
00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:26,560
they never apologized they never said

1394
00:33:22,910 --> 00:33:26,560



1395
00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:29,080
sorry and of course their families were

1396
00:33:26,550 --> 00:33:29,080



1397
00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:32,960
terribly destroyed and

1398
00:33:29,070 --> 00:33:32,960



1399
00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:35,560
upset Leopold's father came to every

1401
00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:38,320
single day of the

1403
00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:39,800
hearing the lobe family was represented

1404
00:33:38,310 --> 00:33:39,800



1405
00:33:38,320 --> 00:33:43,320
by one of lob's

1406
00:33:39,790 --> 00:33:43,320



1407
00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:46,480
Brothers the parents retreated to their

1409
00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:49,120
summer home I think they never came to

1410
00:33:46,470 --> 00:33:49,120



1411
00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:54,000
grips with what had happened I think

1412
00:33:49,110 --> 00:33:54,000



1413
00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:54,000
they were in as much shock as anybody

1415
00:33:54,560 --> 00:33:59,760
else on July 30th the defense finally

1416
00:33:58,270 --> 00:33:59,760



1417
00:33:58,280 --> 00:34:03,080
took charge of the

1419
00:33:59,760 --> 00:34:05,760
RO it was his intention Darrow told

1420
00:34:03,070 --> 00:34:05,760



1421
00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:08,400
judge cavarly to show that his clients

1422
00:34:05,750 --> 00:34:08,400



1423
00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:11,360

1425
00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:13,600
mentally and therefore not responsible

1426
00:34:11,350 --> 00:34:13,600



1427
00:34:11,360 --> 00:34:16,200
for their

1429
00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:19,280
actions calling his team of experts to

00:34:16,190 --> 00:34:19,280



1431
00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:21,360
the stand one by one Darrow spelled out

1433
00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:23,680
for the court the findings from the

00:34:21,350 --> 00:34:23,680



1435
00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:27,280
elaborate pre-trial examinations of

1437
00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:29,560
Leopold and L offering a catalog of the

00:34:29,550 --> 00:34:31,920



1441
00:34:29,560 --> 00:34:34,320
abnormalities one witness testified to

1443
00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:37,280
their dysfunctional endocrine

1444

1445
00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:39,880

1446
00:34:37,270 --> 00:34:39,880



1447
00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:42,680
led to their

1448
00:34:39,870 --> 00:34:42,680



1449
00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:46,000
crime the psychiatrists argue that in

1450
00:34:42,670 --> 00:34:46,000



1451
00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:48,640
fact it was lobe and not Leopold who was

1452
00:34:45,990 --> 00:34:48,640



1453
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:51,160
responsible and that Leopold had been

1454
00:34:48,630 --> 00:34:51,160



1455
00:34:48,640 --> 00:34:53,480
his servant that he there had been a

00:34:51,150 --> 00:34:53,480



1457
00:34:51,160 --> 00:34:56,480
Master Slave relationship between the

1459
00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:58,960
two of them Richard had this fantasy of

1460
00:34:56,470 --> 00:34:58,960



1461
00:34:56,480 --> 00:35:02,880
being a master Criminal and Nathan had

1462
00:34:58,950 --> 00:35:02,880



1463
00:34:58,960 --> 00:35:05,040
the fantasy of being a slave to a King

1464
00:35:02,870 --> 00:35:05,040



1465
00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:08,960
and it's that inner Fantasy Life that

1466
00:35:05,030 --> 00:35:08,960



1467
00:35:05,040 --> 00:35:12,000
created the bond between the two

1468
00:35:08,950 --> 00:35:12,000



1469
00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:14,880
boys referring to the two as babe and

1473
00:35:14,880 --> 00:35:18,960
witnesses for the defense argued that

1474
00:35:16,950 --> 00:35:18,960



1475
00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:20,240
both boys suffered from stunted

00:35:18,950 --> 00:35:20,240



1477
00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:23,400
emotional

1478
00:35:20,230 --> 00:35:23,400



1479
00:35:20,240 --> 00:35:25,960
growth Richard in particular was a

1480
00:35:23,390 --> 00:35:25,960



1481
00:35:23,400 --> 00:35:28,640
little child emotionally still talking

1482
00:35:25,950 --> 00:35:28,640



1483
00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:32,160
to his teddy bear once psychiatrist told

1484
00:35:28,630 --> 00:35:32,160



1485
00:35:28,640 --> 00:35:35,480
the court he is infantile I should say

1486
00:35:32,150 --> 00:35:35,480



1487
00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:38,640
somewhere around four or 5 years

1488
00:35:35,470 --> 00:35:38,640



1489
00:35:35,480 --> 00:35:41,640
old both boys had been neglected by

1490
00:35:38,630 --> 00:35:41,640



1491
00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:44,000
their parents both had a

1492
00:35:41,630 --> 00:35:44,000



1493
00:35:41,640 --> 00:35:46,960
governance and these

1494
00:35:43,990 --> 00:35:46,960



1495
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:49,160
governesses exerted an enormous amount

1496
00:35:46,950 --> 00:35:49,160



1497
00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:53,160
of control over the

1498
00:35:49,150 --> 00:35:53,160



1499
00:35:49,160 --> 00:35:56,320
children Nathan Leopold had been abused

1500
00:35:53,150 --> 00:35:56,320



1501
00:35:53,160 --> 00:35:58,560
sexually by his Governor when he was

1502
00:35:56,310 --> 00:35:58,560



1503
00:35:56,320 --> 00:36:02,200
about 12 years old

1504
00:35:58,550 --> 00:36:02,200



1505
00:35:58,560 --> 00:36:06,040
old with Richard lobe it was a case that

1506
00:36:02,190 --> 00:36:06,040



1507
00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:09,960
his Governor virtually stepped in as a

1508
00:36:06,030 --> 00:36:09,960



1509
00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:13,360
mother figure pushed him to excel in the

1510
00:36:09,950 --> 00:36:13,360



1511
00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:15,560
classroom and as he tells it to the

1512
00:36:13,350 --> 00:36:15,560



1513
00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:17,640
psychiatrists he began to be so

1514
00:36:15,550 --> 00:36:17,640



1515
00:36:15,560 --> 00:36:21,240
resentful that he started to

1516
00:36:17,630 --> 00:36:21,240



1517
00:36:17,640 --> 00:36:23,840
lie and Richard himself traced his

1518
00:36:21,230 --> 00:36:23,840



1519
00:36:21,240 --> 00:36:25,200
crimes back to those lies that he told

1520
00:36:23,830 --> 00:36:25,200



1521
00:36:23,840 --> 00:36:27,880
his

1522
00:36:25,190 --> 00:36:27,880



1523
00:36:25,200 --> 00:36:30,080
Governor it took a tremendous amount of

1524
00:36:27,870 --> 00:36:30,080



1525
00:36:27,880 --> 00:36:33,360
Utah but Clarence Daryl made the

1526
00:36:30,070 --> 00:36:33,360



1527
00:36:30,080 --> 00:36:36,200
argument that these two very privileged

1528
00:36:33,350 --> 00:36:36,200



1529
00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:37,840
sons of very wealthy families were

1530
00:36:36,190 --> 00:36:37,840



1531
00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:41,120
actually

1532
00:36:37,830 --> 00:36:41,120



1533
00:36:37,840 --> 00:36:44,840
victims they were in this very sheltered

1534
00:36:41,110 --> 00:36:44,840



1535
00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:46,840
life with cold families and that

1536
00:36:44,830 --> 00:36:46,840



1537
00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:48,040
therefore they should be pied rather

1538
00:36:46,830 --> 00:36:48,040



1539
00:36:46,840 --> 00:36:52,840
than

1540
00:36:48,030 --> 00:36:52,840



1541
00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:55,920
hated to Crow the entire defense was

1542
00:36:52,830 --> 00:36:55,920



1543
00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:59,160
Preposterous he fairly wore himself out

1544
00:36:55,910 --> 00:36:59,160



1545
00:36:55,920 --> 00:37:00,840
with objections and V

1546
00:36:59,150 --> 00:37:00,840



1547
00:36:59,160 --> 00:37:03,360
cross-examinations constantly through

1548
00:37:00,830 --> 00:37:03,360



1549
00:37:00,840 --> 00:37:07,240
the trial he is going back returning to

1550
00:37:03,350 --> 00:37:07,240



1551
00:37:03,360 --> 00:37:09,440
the savagery of the crime because he

1552
00:37:07,230 --> 00:37:09,440



1553
00:37:07,240 --> 00:37:12,320
knows what darl is doing he knows that

1554
00:37:09,430 --> 00:37:12,320



1555
00:37:09,440 --> 00:37:14,400
he has to pressure judge cavarly in the

1556
00:37:12,310 --> 00:37:14,400



1557
00:37:12,320 --> 00:37:16,600
opposite direction so the whole thing is

1558
00:37:14,390 --> 00:37:16,600



1559
00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:20,640
a struggle between these two legal

1560
00:37:16,590 --> 00:37:20,640



1561
00:37:16,600 --> 00:37:23,280
Titans Crow and Darrow for the judge's

1562
00:37:20,630 --> 00:37:23,280



1563
00:37:20,640 --> 00:37:25,920
mind there were plenty of Americans who

1564
00:37:23,270 --> 00:37:25,920



1565
00:37:23,280 --> 00:37:28,880
agreed with crow that the boy's guilt

1566
00:37:25,910 --> 00:37:28,880



1567
00:37:25,920 --> 00:37:31,360
was all that mattered

1568
00:37:28,870 --> 00:37:31,360



1569
00:37:28,880 --> 00:37:33,840
but for many others darl's defense

1570
00:37:31,350 --> 00:37:33,840



1571
00:37:31,360 --> 00:37:36,200
offered an intriguing New Perspective on

1572
00:37:33,830 --> 00:37:36,200



1573
00:37:33,840 --> 00:37:36,200
human

1575
00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:42,600
behavior what the Leupold and lobe

1576
00:37:39,790 --> 00:37:42,600



1577
00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:46,320
defense team did was to introduce

1578
00:37:42,590 --> 00:37:46,320



1579
00:37:42,600 --> 00:37:50,400
Freudian interpretations into the

1580
00:37:46,310 --> 00:37:50,400



1581
00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:50,400
courtroom and that was all very

1583
00:37:50,520 --> 00:37:58,600
new and it just grabbed the American

1584
00:37:53,750 --> 00:37:58,600



1585
00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:58,600
public it riveted them

1587
00:37:59,320 --> 00:38:05,600
the parents who read the newspapers were

1588
00:38:02,710 --> 00:38:05,600



1589
00:38:02,720 --> 00:38:08,800
fixated on what they could learn about

1590
00:38:05,590 --> 00:38:08,800



1591
00:38:05,600 --> 00:38:10,360
their own more normal children from

1592
00:38:08,790 --> 00:38:10,360



1593
00:38:08,800 --> 00:38:14,400
these young

1594
00:38:10,350 --> 00:38:14,400



1595
00:38:10,360 --> 00:38:14,400
people what about my

1597
00:38:18,440 --> 00:38:22,840
child the major effect of all the

1598
00:38:20,950 --> 00:38:22,840



1599
00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:25,000
scientific testimony was that it

1600
00:38:22,830 --> 00:38:25,000



1601
00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:26,200
convinced the people of Chicago America

1602
00:38:24,990 --> 00:38:26,200



1603
00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:30,040

1605
00:38:26,200 --> 00:38:32,600
world that there were indeed motivations

1606
00:38:30,030 --> 00:38:32,600



1607
00:38:30,040 --> 00:38:35,080
it wasn't just a matter of Good and Evil

1608
00:38:32,590 --> 00:38:35,080



1609
00:38:32,600 --> 00:38:36,760
there were flaws in human beings and

1610
00:38:35,070 --> 00:38:36,760



1611
00:38:35,080 --> 00:38:38,880
triggers that make people act the way

1612
00:38:36,750 --> 00:38:38,880



1613
00:38:36,760 --> 00:38:38,880

1617
00:38:42,960 --> 00:38:48,960
of testimony the defense

00:38:51,750 --> 00:38:54,560



1623
00:38:51,760 --> 00:38:56,960
both sides to convince judge cavarly to

00:38:54,550 --> 00:38:56,960



1625
00:38:54,560 --> 00:38:59,120
either spare the boys lives or else

1657
00:39:40,600 --> 00:39:46,600
a way of Darrow to focus attention it

1658
00:39:44,430 --> 00:39:46,600



1659
00:39:44,440 --> 00:39:51,240

1665
00:39:55,160 --> 00:40:01,760
three months as one might stand at the

1673
00:40:06,720 --> 00:40:14,280

00:40:10,840 --> 00:40:16,280

00:40:20,160 --> 00:40:28,040
thing to do is to hang my

1682
00:40:24,150 --> 00:40:28,040



1683
00:40:24,160 --> 00:40:30,360

00:40:30,720 --> 00:40:36,520
lives speaking continuously for the

00:40:33,390 --> 00:40:36,520



1689
00:40:33,400 --> 00:40:39,080
better part of three days Darrow offered

1693
00:40:39,080 --> 00:40:44,320
reasons Leopold and lobe should be

00:40:44,320 --> 00:40:49,720

1699
00:40:46,840 --> 00:40:51,480
need of an editor but if you think about

00:40:49,710 --> 00:40:51,480



1701
00:40:49,720 --> 00:40:54,120
the effect that they had in the

00:40:51,470 --> 00:40:54,120



1703
00:40:51,480 --> 00:40:57,480

1705
00:40:54,120 --> 00:41:01,440

1711
00:41:04,400 --> 00:41:10,520
casting a spell touching their emotions

1713
00:41:08,280 --> 00:41:10,520
quite

1715
00:41:11,800 --> 00:41:17,480
masterfully before I would tie a nuse

1716
00:41:14,670 --> 00:41:17,480



1717
00:41:14,680 --> 00:41:21,240

00:41:17,470 --> 00:41:21,240



1719
00:41:17,480 --> 00:41:24,360
call back into my mind the emotions of

00:41:33,640 --> 00:41:41,320

1753
00:42:12,480 --> 00:42:18,000

1817
00:43:50,440 --> 00:43:55,240

00:45:37,920 --> 00:45:42,640
responsibility rests upon his shoulders

1896
00:45:40,950 --> 00:45:42,640



1897
00:45:40,960 --> 00:45:43,290
whatever decision he makes he's going to

1898
00:45:42,630 --> 00:45:43,290



1899
00:45:42,640 --> 00:45:45,800
be

1900
00:45:43,280 --> 00:45:45,800

1905
00:45:49,320 --> 00:45:54,320
parties to the case assembled once again

1906
00:45:51,550 --> 00:45:54,320



1907
00:45:51,560 --> 00:45:54,320
in Cav's

1909
00:45:54,800 --> 00:46:01,240
courtroom security was tight

1910
00:45:57,510 --> 00:46:01,240



1911
00:45:57,520 --> 00:46:03,680
the mood tense as cavarly began to read

1912
00:46:01,230 --> 00:46:03,680



1913
00:46:01,240 --> 00:46:07,240
from three sheets of lined

1914
00:46:03,670 --> 00:46:07,240



1915
00:46:03,680 --> 00:46:10,840
paper judge cly comes out to give the

1916
00:46:07,230 --> 00:46:10,840



1917
00:46:07,240 --> 00:46:11,960
verdict and he says basically I'm not

1918
00:46:10,830 --> 00:46:11,960



1919
00:46:10,840 --> 00:46:14,000
going to be moved by any of the

1920
00:46:11,950 --> 00:46:14,000



1921
00:46:11,960 --> 00:46:16,640
scientific evidence it was interesting

1922
00:46:13,990 --> 00:46:16,640



1923
00:46:14,000 --> 00:46:19,280
gentlemen but they pleed guilty Nathan

1924
00:46:16,630 --> 00:46:19,280



1925
00:46:16,640 --> 00:46:21,120
Leopold thought he was heading for the

1926
00:46:19,270 --> 00:46:21,120



1927
00:46:19,280 --> 00:46:24,400
for the

1928
00:46:21,110 --> 00:46:24,400



1929
00:46:21,120 --> 00:46:27,040
hangman but the judge went on and it

1930
00:46:24,390 --> 00:46:27,040



1931
00:46:24,400 --> 00:46:29,520
swiftly became clear that Leopold and

1932
00:46:27,030 --> 00:46:29,520



1933
00:46:27,040 --> 00:46:31,040
lobe were headed not for The Gallows but

1934
00:46:29,510 --> 00:46:31,040



1935
00:46:29,520 --> 00:46:33,560
for

1936
00:46:31,030 --> 00:46:33,560



1937
00:46:31,040 --> 00:46:36,760
prison the court believes that it is

1938
00:46:33,550 --> 00:46:36,760



1939
00:46:33,560 --> 00:46:39,320
within his Province cavarly explained to

1940
00:46:36,750 --> 00:46:39,320



1941
00:46:36,760 --> 00:46:43,200
decline to impose the sentence of death

1942
00:46:39,310 --> 00:46:43,200



1943
00:46:39,320 --> 00:46:44,840
on persons who are not of full age one

1944
00:46:43,190 --> 00:46:44,840



1945
00:46:43,200 --> 00:46:48,840
of the most interesting things about

1946
00:46:44,830 --> 00:46:48,840



1947
00:46:44,840 --> 00:46:51,520
judge caverly's ruling is how in the end

1948
00:46:48,830 --> 00:46:51,520



1949
00:46:48,840 --> 00:46:53,560
how little all that scientific testimony

1950
00:46:51,510 --> 00:46:53,560



1951
00:46:51,520 --> 00:46:56,520
all the alienist testimony that talk

1952
00:46:53,550 --> 00:46:56,520



1953
00:46:53,560 --> 00:46:58,760
about glandular secretions how little it

1954
00:46:56,510 --> 00:46:58,760



1955
00:46:56,520 --> 00:47:02,280
all matter mattered in the end he clung

1956
00:46:58,750 --> 00:47:02,280



1957
00:46:58,760 --> 00:47:06,520
to that legal idea of of

1958
00:47:02,270 --> 00:47:06,520



1959
00:47:02,280 --> 00:47:09,280
precedent the judge says I am basing my

1960
00:47:06,510 --> 00:47:09,280



1961
00:47:06,520 --> 00:47:12,600
decision not to impose the death penalty

1962
00:47:09,270 --> 00:47:12,600



1963
00:47:09,280 --> 00:47:14,960
entirely on the defendants

1964
00:47:12,590 --> 00:47:14,960



1965
00:47:12,600 --> 00:47:16,560
youth I can only imagine what the

1966
00:47:14,950 --> 00:47:16,560



1967
00:47:14,960 --> 00:47:20,080
prosecution thought of the judge's

1968
00:47:16,550 --> 00:47:20,080



1969
00:47:16,560 --> 00:47:22,640
sentence because I could imagine them

1970
00:47:20,070 --> 00:47:22,640



1971
00:47:20,080 --> 00:47:27,480
saying if these guys don't get the death

1972
00:47:22,630 --> 00:47:27,480



1973
00:47:22,640 --> 00:47:27,480
penalty who should get the death penalty

1975
00:47:28,400 --> 00:47:33,920
Leopold and lobe were sentenced to life

1976
00:47:30,710 --> 00:47:33,920



1977
00:47:30,720 --> 00:47:37,400
in prison for the murder of Bobby Franks

1978
00:47:33,910 --> 00:47:37,400



1979
00:47:33,920 --> 00:47:39,720
plus 99 years for the

1980
00:47:37,390 --> 00:47:39,720



1981
00:47:37,400 --> 00:47:42,080
kidnapping the verdict would provoke

1982
00:47:39,710 --> 00:47:42,080



1983
00:47:39,720 --> 00:47:44,000
outrage across the country and

1984
00:47:42,070 --> 00:47:44,000



1985
00:47:42,080 --> 00:47:47,240
accusations that the defendants had

1986
00:47:43,990 --> 00:47:47,240



1987
00:47:44,000 --> 00:47:50,360
bought their way out of the hangman's

1988
00:47:47,230 --> 00:47:50,360



1989
00:47:47,240 --> 00:47:53,280
noose but Darrow had saved his clients

1990
00:47:50,350 --> 00:47:53,280



1991
00:47:50,360 --> 00:47:54,320
lives and dealt a powerful blow to the

1992
00:47:53,270 --> 00:47:54,320



1993
00:47:53,280 --> 00:47:56,560
death

1994
00:47:54,310 --> 00:47:56,560



1995
00:47:54,320 --> 00:47:58,800
penalty as he told the reporters who

1996
00:47:56,550 --> 00:47:58,800



1997
00:47:56,560 --> 00:48:01,720
Crow crowed around the defense table he

1998
00:47:58,790 --> 00:48:01,720



1999
00:47:58,800 --> 00:48:04,800
now planned to launch a campaign to end

2000
00:48:01,710 --> 00:48:04,800



2001
00:48:01,720 --> 00:48:04,800
capital punishment in

2003
00:48:05,160 --> 00:48:11,240
Illinois before leaving the courtroom

2004
00:48:07,750 --> 00:48:11,240



2005
00:48:07,760 --> 00:48:13,560
Leopold and lob shook Darrow's hand in

2006
00:48:11,230 --> 00:48:13,560



2007
00:48:11,240 --> 00:48:16,600
the morning the pair would be bound for

2008
00:48:13,550 --> 00:48:16,600



2009
00:48:13,560 --> 00:48:16,600
the penitentiary at

2011
00:48:17,000 --> 00:48:22,040
Joliet back in his cell at the county

2012
00:48:19,550 --> 00:48:22,040



2013
00:48:19,560 --> 00:48:24,560
jail Nathan called to the sheriff and

2014
00:48:22,030 --> 00:48:24,560



2015
00:48:22,040 --> 00:48:27,480
arranged for what surely would be the

2016
00:48:24,550 --> 00:48:27,480



2017
00:48:24,560 --> 00:48:31,760
boy's last good meal thick steak

2018
00:48:27,470 --> 00:48:31,760



2019
00:48:27,480 --> 00:48:31,760
smothered in onions and chocolate AC

2021

Claires ladies and

2023
00:48:37,880 --> 00:48:43,400
gentlemen a month ago I begged the

2024
00:48:40,670 --> 00:48:43,400



2025
00:48:40,680 --> 00:48:45,640
members of the parole board for their

00:48:43,390 --> 00:48:45,640



2027
00:48:43,400 --> 00:48:49,920
compassion they found it in their hearts

2028
00:48:45,630 --> 00:48:49,920



2029
00:48:45,640 --> 00:48:52,880
to Grant it today I am enjoying

2030
00:48:49,910 --> 00:48:52,880



2031
00:48:49,920 --> 00:48:54,840
the by the time Nathan Leopold was

2032
00:48:52,870 --> 00:48:54,840



2033
00:48:52,880 --> 00:48:57,920
released from prison in

2034
00:48:54,830 --> 00:48:57,920



2035
00:48:54,840 --> 00:49:00,600
1958 he'd been behind bars for more than

2036
00:48:57,910 --> 00:49:00,600



2037
00:48:57,920 --> 00:49:00,600
33

2039
00:49:01,800 --> 00:49:08,000
years Richard lob had died in prison two

2040
00:49:05,270 --> 00:49:08,000



2041
00:49:05,280 --> 00:49:10,360
decades before murdered by a fellow

2042
00:49:07,990 --> 00:49:10,360



2043
00:49:08,000 --> 00:49:13,520
inmate who claimed lobe had made

2044
00:49:10,350 --> 00:49:13,520



2045
00:49:10,360 --> 00:49:13,520
unwanted sexual

2047
00:49:16,520 --> 00:49:20,120
advances Clarence Darrow had died back

2048
00:49:19,310 --> 00:49:20,120



2049
00:49:19,320 --> 00:49:23,440
in

2050
00:49:20,110 --> 00:49:23,440



2051
00:49:20,120 --> 00:49:25,920
1938 at the age of 80 having spent much

2052
00:49:23,430 --> 00:49:25,920



2053
00:49:23,440 --> 00:49:28,400
of his time outside of the courtroom

2054
00:49:25,910 --> 00:49:28,400



2055
00:49:25,920 --> 00:49:30,120
advocating with little success against

2056
00:49:28,390 --> 00:49:30,120



2057
00:49:28,400 --> 00:49:33,080
the death

2058
00:49:30,110 --> 00:49:33,080



2059
00:49:30,120 --> 00:49:37,520
penalty swarmed by reporters outside of

2060
00:49:33,070 --> 00:49:37,520



2061
00:49:33,080 --> 00:49:37,520
the prison Leopold pleaded for

2063
00:49:37,640 --> 00:49:43,760
privacy I appeal as solemnly as I know

2064
00:49:40,670 --> 00:49:43,760



2065
00:49:40,680 --> 00:49:47,080
how to you and to your editors and to

2066
00:49:43,750 --> 00:49:47,080



2067
00:49:43,760 --> 00:49:49,360
your Publishers and the society at large

2068
00:49:47,070 --> 00:49:49,360



2069
00:49:47,080 --> 00:49:53,640
to agree that the only piece of news

2070
00:49:49,350 --> 00:49:53,640



2071
00:49:49,360 --> 00:49:53,640
about me is that I have cease to be

2073
00:49:53,720 --> 00:50:00,480
news Leopold and lobe would never again

2074
00:49:57,270 --> 00:50:00,480



2075
00:49:57,280 --> 00:50:03,440
dominate headlines but the perpetrators

2076
00:50:00,470 --> 00:50:03,440



2077
00:50:00,480 --> 00:50:07,880
of the Perfect Crime would continue to

2078
00:50:03,430 --> 00:50:07,880



2079
00:50:03,440 --> 00:50:11,600
compel Fascination for decades to

00:50:07,870 --> 00:50:11,600



2081
00:50:07,880 --> 00:50:14,400
come I think this case has a continuous

2082
00:50:11,590 --> 00:50:14,400



2083
00:50:11,600 --> 00:50:15,960
hold on AR imaginations because of the

2084
00:50:14,390 --> 00:50:15,960



2085
00:50:14,400 --> 00:50:18,520
way it

2086
00:50:15,950 --> 00:50:18,520



2087
00:50:15,960 --> 00:50:20,840
interrogates the idea of

2088
00:50:18,510 --> 00:50:20,840



2089
00:50:18,520 --> 00:50:24,040
evil and whether or

2090
00:50:20,830 --> 00:50:24,040



2091
00:50:20,840 --> 00:50:26,920
not there really is such a

2092
00:50:24,030 --> 00:50:26,920



2093
00:50:24,040 --> 00:50:31,120
thing Darrow tried to get us away away

2094
00:50:26,910 --> 00:50:31,120



2095
00:50:26,920 --> 00:50:35,680
from thinking in terms of monsters and

2096
00:50:31,110 --> 00:50:35,680



2097
00:50:31,120 --> 00:50:37,720
kind of unfathomable Darkness to try to

2098
00:50:35,670 --> 00:50:37,720



2099
00:50:35,680 --> 00:50:39,680
understand the world in terms of

00:50:42,280 --> 00:50:49,080
maturity Shades of Gray rather than the

2106
00:50:46,150 --> 00:50:49,080



2107
00:50:46,160 --> 00:50:51,520
black and white of good and

2108
00:50:49,070 --> 00:50:51,520



2109
00:50:49,080 --> 00:50:54,960
evil one of the the terrifying

2110
00:50:51,510 --> 00:50:54,960



2111
00:50:51,520 --> 00:50:56,680
implications of the case in 1924 was if

2112
00:50:54,950 --> 00:50:56,680



2113
00:50:54,960 --> 00:51:00,040
the boys who had everything in the world

2114
00:50:56,670 --> 00:51:00,040



2115
00:50:56,680 --> 00:51:03,280
World ahead of them could do this act

2116
00:51:00,030 --> 00:51:03,280



2117
00:51:00,040 --> 00:51:04,600
why could not other people do this act

2118
00:51:03,270 --> 00:51:04,600



2119
00:51:03,280 --> 00:51:08,200
and I think in a way that's why we're

2120
00:51:04,590 --> 00:51:08,200



2121
00:51:04,600 --> 00:51:09,760
still discussing the case because they

2122
00:51:08,190 --> 00:51:09,760



2123
00:51:08,200 --> 00:51:12,440
did something

2124
00:51:09,750 --> 00:51:12,440



2125
00:51:09,760 --> 00:51:15,400
mad and we're all capable of doing

2126
00:51:12,430 --> 00:51:15,400



2127
00:51:12,440 --> 00:51:20,240
something mad given the forces upon them

2128
00:51:15,390 --> 00:51:20,240



2129
00:51:15,400 --> 00:51:20,240
or upon any of us what are we capable

2131
00:51:20,520 --> 00:51:27,880
of why then did these two boys Commit

2132
00:51:24,590 --> 00:51:27,880



2133
00:51:24,600 --> 00:51:29,800
This rash and horrible deed

2134
00:51:27,870 --> 00:51:29,800



2135
00:51:27,880 --> 00:51:32,440
I presume they know less about the

2136
00:51:29,790 --> 00:51:32,440



2137
00:51:29,800 --> 00:51:34,640
reason than others who have studied the

2138
00:51:32,430 --> 00:51:34,640



2139
00:51:32,440 --> 00:51:37,320
case and the boys as

2140
00:51:34,630 --> 00:51:37,320



2141
00:51:34,640 --> 00:51:41,160
well there are many things that human

2142
00:51:37,310 --> 00:51:41,160



2143
00:51:37,320 --> 00:51:43,520
beings cannot understand and of all the

2144
00:51:41,150 --> 00:51:43,520



2145
00:51:41,160 --> 00:51:46,600
fathomless questions that confront and

2146
00:51:43,510 --> 00:51:46,600



2147
00:51:43,520 --> 00:51:51,320
confuse men the most

2148
00:51:46,590 --> 00:51:51,320



2149
00:51:46,600 --> 00:51:51,320
baffling is the human mind
