Answer and Explanation:

Darrow argues that exorbitant amounts of money were used by the families of the boys involved in the crime to influence the outcome of the trial. In fact, Darrow claims that the amounts of money not only influenced the outcome of the trial, but also decided it completely, as we can see from the paragraph "No lawyer could have justified it. No prosecution could have justified it. We could have come into this court without evidence, without argument, with nothing, and this court would have given to us what every judge in the city of Chicago has given to every boy in the city of Chicago since the first capital case was tried. . "

In this case, Darrow shows how money often hinders the free execution of things, which is contradictory, since we usually think that money will solve things. With this reasoning, Darrow shows that not only is judgment hindered by money, but public opinion and meddling in judgment, which can often attract more than help, since the public has a strong interest when wealthy families are involved in such a scandal.
