Answer 2

Answer:

  Guilty.

Explanation:

  He was tried in a case known as the Scopes trial and was found guilty and fined $100.

  The Scopes trial was held in 1925 and accused the substitute teacher John T. Scopes of violating Tennessee´s Butler Act.

  After the conviction, Scopes´s lawyers appeal to the Supreme Court of Tennessee and they overturned the verdict by a legal technicality, the jury should have decided the fine, not the judge.
