Description

Is there such a thing as a "perfect crime"? 100 years ago, two teenagers wanted to find out for themselves. 19-year-old Nathan Leopold and 18-year-old Richard Loeb abducted and murdered 14-year-old Bobby Franks within his affluent Chicago neighborhood. The crime of the century became the trial of the century, and the country watched a jury decide the fate of the two murderous teenagers.


Author, historian, and Professor at the John Jay College of Criminal Justice Simon Baatz looks back at the historic murders, and the unprecedented trial that followed, as detailed in his book, For The Thrill Of It.
