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.
