The next day, it was Darrow's turn to be cross-examined as he had agreed. '''''But instead of upholding his end of the bargain, Darrow abruptly and surprisingly ended the trial by asking the jury to find his own client guilty!'''''<ref>http://www.law.umkc.edu/faculty/projects/ftrials/scopes/day8.htm</ref>
The jury then deliberated for only 9 minutes, which may be nearly a record in quick jury decisions. It found Darrow's client guilty and ordered him to pay a fine of $100, which . The fine was eliminated on a technicality reversed on appeal.<ref>The Tennessee Constitution had a clause providing that any large fine must be set by a jury, not by the judge. The Tennessee Supreme Court vacated the verdict on that basis (but is $100 so large?), and then ruled that because Scopes no longer lived in the state, this case was moot.</ref>
