Video: 'Leopold and Loeb trial'

(Wednesday, May 21, 1924) — In a case that drew much notoriety, 14-year-old Bobby Franks was murdered today in a “thrill killing” carried out by University of Chicago students Nathan Leopold Jr. and Richard Loeb (Bobby’s cousin).

Both men received life sentences; Loeb was killed by a fellow prison inmate in 1936 while Leopold was paroled in 1958, dying in 1971.
