This week, we look at Leopold and Loeb, whose plan to commit "the perfect crime" was imperfect in so, so many ways. Like--a lot of ways.
Plus: More Shakespearean insults, paint thinner madness, and murderer eyeballs.
And remember, if your closing argument is over 12 hours, the transcripts are free!
