As evil as the five defendants are the Clarence Darrow-type lawyers who are going to defend them by saying “oppression from whitey made them do it.”
Leopold and Loeb’s rich parents bought their sons’ way out of the death penalty by hiring Darrow. Al Sharpton will probably use his wealth and influence to hire attorneys for these defendants. People like him are the true race hatemongers. I don’t even think these defendants should be charged with hate crimes - just charge them with murder, convict them, and give them the death penalty.
I think that will be injected in a line of defense as well.
By the media trying to bury this story it will(hopefully) be a circus. It's harder to bury and hide a circus.

I'm waiting to see if a fund is set up for their defense.
