Simon Baatz Libri

    Simon Baatz, professore di storia legale, si addentra in uno scandalo sensazionale dei primi del Novecento che catturò New York. Il suo lavoro si concentra sulla vicenda di Evelyn Nesbit e sull'omicidio di Stanford White, attingendo meticolosamente a resoconti giornalistici contemporanei anziché a memorie successive e meno attendibili. Questo approccio fornisce la narrazione più accurata degli eventi, evidenziando la natura persistente del comportamento predatorio di uomini potenti, un tema che risuona con le problematiche contemporanee.

      The 1924 murder of a child in Chicago by affluent college students Nathan Leopold and Richard Loeb, driven by a desire for thrill, shocked the nation. Their belief in their intellectual superiority led them to think they could evade capture. Upon their arrest, state's attorney Robert Crowe aimed for the death penalty, but the families enlisted renowned defense attorney Clarence Darrow. This case became one of the most sensational trials in American history, raising profound questions about morality, justice, and the influence of wealth.
