Background: This quote was in response to Loeb being murdered during his prison sentence. He and Nathan Leopold (the notorious Leopold and Loeb) avoided capital punishment by receiving life in prison for their attempt at "the perfect murder" of a 14-year-old boy. Both men were wealthy University of Chicago students.
I learned of this duo from an episode of Seinfeld ("The Junior Mint") where Jerry and Kramer, while observing an operation, accidentally project a Junior Mint into the body of the patient. The pair tries to conceal the incident but the candy begins to cause complications during recovery and Jerry compares themselves to Leopold and Loeb.
