Answer:

Guilty.

Step-by-step 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.

I hope this answer helps you.
