the lawyer defending those chicago boys,
believes
that under no circumstances
should the state take a
human life.
that’s why he’s shouldering this case.
the guilt of leopold and loeb,
the two young murderers of bobby franks,
is without question.
it is darrow’s intention
not to prove their innocence,
but to cheat the hangman
in spite of their guilt.
and perhaps in so doing
remove the underpinnings
of every gallows across this land.
a civilized man in america.
how refreshing.
