Darrow Talks On Heredity In Leopold Case
Clarence S. Darrow argued before Judge John R. Caverly on August 25 that heredity and environment shaped the youth of Richard Loeb and Nathan Leopold Jr., co‑killers of Robert Frank. He traced origins from childhood, suggested wealth opened doors to desire, and claimed the mind is shaped by forces beyond control. He warned youth lack thought and accountability, calling for honesty about their misdeeds. The courtroom drew curious onlookers and a police guard, as Darrow prepared the final plea chapters amid statements of fact and his three‑month study of the defendants.
