And when it does not, then the human arrangement breaks apart." In the Leopold-Loeb case in 1924, Clarence Darrow argued essentially that crime (including the murder of 14-year-old Bobby Frank) was to be understood as a disease.

His charm and gentility greatly mar his performance, as they subvert the evil that he attempts to convey...
