Explain the outcome of the scopes trial plz

John scopes was found guilty of teaching evolution which was against the law.

The Scopes trial found the defendant John Scopes guilty of violating the Butler Act by teaching evolution in school. Scopes was fined $100, but this was overturned on a technicality. It also achieved the true goal of the staged trial, which was to draw attention and publicity to Dayton, Tenn., and to place the conflict between science and religion firmly before the public eye.

Hope this will !
