from Re:Examined · host Angelina Cowles

Each boy told another. Neither could explain the other.This episode traces the arrangement between Nathan Leopold and Richard Loeb from what's documented, not what's assumed. We look at what was said, what was written down, and how much of it can be trusted.The questions close the episode. The answers are yours.
