Leopold and Loeb's parents hired Clarence Darrow to get them life in prison. (They pleaded guilty in the face of overwhelming evidence.)
I did a research paper on that case high school. Darrow used to insert a wire into his cigars so the ash wouldn't fall in order to distract the jury. That was a really sensationalized case.

It was alleged by some that he would not face full consequences because there were more powerful people than him at risk. I wonder how this all played out behind the scenes with the jury.

Is it true that a "family member" regularly sexually assaulted him while he was underaged or was that just fabricated by his defense attorneys?

If true, that would somewhat explain, but not necessarily condone, his sexual aberrations.
