The “perfect crime” fell apart. But what came next was even more shocking.
After their arrest, Leopold and Loeb became the center of one of the most sensational trials in American history. As famed defense attorney Clarence Darrow took on their case, the courtroom became a stage for debates about queerness, mental illness, morality, and the death penalty. But behind the legal spectacle was a story of manipulation, shattered identities, and a public hungry for blood.
This episode explores the explosive aftermath of a murder pact—and how queerness both shaped and shadowed the trial of the century.
Hosted by Jordi and Brad, Beers With Queers brings chilling crimes, queer stories, and twisted justice to light—all with a cold one in hand.
