Final answer:
There seems to be confusion regarding a trial involving characters Stryver and Darney, with historical trials being referenced. It's possible the student is referring to Charles Dickens' 'A Tale of Two Cities' where the character Stryver defends Charles Darnay. Given the context, a clear answer cannot be provided.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question seems to be confusing two different trials. The provided references pertain to historical trials, such as the Scopes Monkey Trial and the Scottsboro case, which do not feature characters named Stryver or Darney. It appears the student might actually be inquiring about a fictional trial from Charles Dickens' novel 'A Tale of Two Cities', where a character named Stryver is a lawyer who defends Charles Darnay, who is accused of treason. In the novel, Darnay is acquitted thanks to the skillful defense presented by Stryver, along with the striking resemblance between Darnay and another character named Sydney Carton, which creates reasonable doubt among the jury.
However, due to the context and references provided, it is difficult to provide an accurate and complete answer to the question about how 'Stryver was able to get Darney acquitted' as posed. If the student is referring to the character from 'A Tale of Two Cities', they may want to correct the spelling to 'Darnay' to avoid confusion with historical figures or trials.
