... that being that it is pretty thorough on the subject, even talking about Leopold and Loeb after their convictions, and that it includes interview footage of somebody who actually knew Leopold and Loeb and would have been their murder victim rather than Bobby Franks had he not had a dentist appointment the day of the killing. That person is Armand Deutsch, one of the heirs to the Sears Roebuck fortune. He lived to be 92 and he would have been on this site even if he had not had that connection to the famous murderers, having been the producer of several westerns in the 1950s.
I wonder if the judge would have given Leopold and Loeb life versus the death penalty if he had known that Leopold would be released after serving just 33 years of his life sentence? Judge John Caverly died in 1939, so there is no researching that.
I watched this doing research for my review of the film "Compulsion" and found it quite engaging. I found it interesting that this was made in the 1990s by the History Channel and was standard fare for that channel during that decade. They actually talked about history! Then came reality television and the rest is definitely NOT history.
