This trial was known as the Leopold and Loeb trial. The two defendents, Richard Loeb and Nathan Leopold, were sons of rich men. Loeb was obsessed with crime, and Leopold was obsessed with Loeb. They would kidnap, demand ransom and murder a child of wealthy parents as a sort of intellectual exercise.
This is Darrow's summation of his twelve-hour long plea to save his young clients' lives. It stands as one of the most eloquent attacks on the death penalty ever delivered.- Argument in the Sweet Case delivered 19 May 1926

A white mob in Detroit attempted to drive a black family out of the home they had purchased in a white neighborhood. In the struggle, a white man was killed, and the eleven blacks in the house were arrested and charged with murder. Dr. Ossian Sweet and three members of his family were brought to trial and after an initial deadlock, Darrow argued to the all-white jury: "I insist that there is nothing but prejudice in this case; that if it was reversed and eleven white men had shot and killed a black while protecting their home and their lives against a mob of blacks, nobody would have dreamed of having them indicted. They would have been given medals instead..." They were found not guilty.
