The next day, it was Darrow's turn to be cross-examined. But Darrow stunned the public by giving up rather than upholding his end of the bargain. Darrow took the unprecedented step of asking the jury for a guilty verdict against his client, the defendant teacher John Scopes.<ref>http://www.law.umkc.edu/faculty/projects/ftrials/scopes/day8.htm</ref> To save his own skin, Darrow handed over his client!

The next day, Bryan's testimony was to continue. The judge however ruled against any further examination of this sort, contrary to a myth that Darrow "reneged."  Darrow asked for a guilty verdict, which was the ACLU plan all along, as without a guilty verdict, the case could not be appealed to a higher court in an attempt to rule the law unConstitutional. ref>http://www.law.umkc.edu/faculty/projects/ftrials/scopes/day8.htm</ref>

After 8 days of trial, the jury gave Darrow exactly what he requested, after 9 minutes of deliberation.  Scopes was found guilty on July 21 and ordered to pay a fine of $100 US, which was eliminated on a technicality on appeal.
