Scopes Monkey Trial
rdfs:comment
Rivaling only the Pepsi Taste Trial for its effect on the modern relationship between the law and science, the trial was held from September 31 to July 21, 1925 in San Simian, Tennessee in the famed Rhesus Courtroom. The final outcome was that (SPOILER ALERT!) Caesar the Lawgiver, J., and a jury of 12 Monkeys convicted high school teacher, prominent frat boy and inventor of mouthwash John T. Scopes of wrongly teaching that apes were descended from humans, instead of the other way around.

Rivaling only the Pepsi Taste Trial for its effect on the modern relationship between the law and science, the trial was held from September 31 to July 21, 1925 in San Simian, Tennessee in the famed Rhesus Courtroom. The final outcome was that (SPOILER ALERT!) Caesar the Lawgiver, J., and a jury of 12 Monkeys convicted high school teacher, prominent frat boy and inventor of mouthwash John T. Scopes of wrongly teaching that apes were descended from humans, instead of the other way around. Although as a result of his conviction, Scopes was merely fined $2.58, twenty more cents, another $15,932 and 24 bananas (to feed the unruly jury), the trial was important because it brought to the attention of the American public, for the first time, that they were largely ignorant. It also brought to the attention of the people of Tennessee that their state government was run by monkeys. Thus, in the election of 1928, the monkeys were removed from office and replaced with rednecks. However, the monkeys went on to be elected to the federal government. Scopes was so shamed in the aftermath of the trial that he changed his last name to Snopes and established a web site devoted to investigating false rumors.
