The details of this case are horrifying: rape, torture, and murder in a medieval fashion. All five defendants should get the death penalty immediately upon conviction.
Oh how I agree with you on that. To do what they did to human beings, they are animals that's for sure.
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.
