John Scopes though high school biology in Dayton, Tennessee.  He was convicted of illegally teaching the history of evolution and fined $100.  The conviction ironically came at the request of Darrow, who wished to force precedent by having the Tennessee Supreme Court weigh in on the eventually appeal.  That court eventually overturned the decision on a technicality, creating little meaningful precedent.<ref>http://www.law.umkc.edu/faculty/projects/ftrials/scopes/evolut.htm</ref>
