Compulsion (1959)

Plot:
Artie Strauss and Judd Steiner  kill a boy on his way home from school in order to commit the "perfect crime". Strauss tries to cover it up, but they are caught when police find a key piece of evidence — Steiner's glasses, which he left at the scene of the crime. Famed attorney Jonathan Wilk takes their case, and saves them from hanging by making an impassioned closing argument against capital punishment.
