One of the most influential lawyers of the 20th century, Clarence Darrow was born in Kinsman, Ohio on April 18, 1857. When two wealthy college students confessed to murder in 1924, their families hired the "Attorney for the Damned" to try to save the boys from the hangman's noose. Darrow accepted the case, believing it would provide him with a national platform in his crusade against the death penalty.
