3. The Scopes trial was obviously an example of judical activism. Everyone ''knew'' the teacher had taught evolution, this was just a chance for Darrow and Bryan to argue as to whether the law was right or not. Undoubtedly, Scopes had broken the law: when Darrow realized that the best he could hope for was the jury declaring the State law invalid, he gave up. The Court soon tired of the Bryan's debates with Darrow, and Darrow's bickering with Bryan. So the "evidence" became void for both sides: all they had to work with was words. This is why the Scopes trial was not a fair fight between Creation and Evolution. There was no science on either side.

On Wikipedia, the fact that Darrow dodged his deal with Bryan is downplayed, and his act of pleading guilty is cunningly worded. It says "Darrow asked the judge to bring in the jury only to have them come to a guilty verdict." [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scopes_Trial]
