description: In 1924, wealthy Chicago teenagers Nathan Leopold and Richard Loeb murdered 14-year-old Bobby Franks, motivated only by their desire to experience the act. The twentieth century's first "thrill killing," the crime inspired one of history's most publicized trials as attorney Clarence Darrow successfully defended the killers against the death penalty.
