How does Darrow use rhetoric in this excerpt to
attempt to influence the sentence Leopold and Loeb
will receive?
For God's sake, are we crazy? In the face of history, of
every line of philosophy, against the teaching of every
religionist and seer and prophet the world has ever
given us, we are still doing what our barbarous
ancestors did when they came out of the caves and
the woods!...
Your honor, I am almost ashamed to talk about it. I can
hardly imagine we are in the nineteenth or the
twentieth century. And yet there are men who seriously
say that for what nature has done, for what life has
done, for what training has done, take the boys' lives.
