Famous trials over the past century have always advanced the causes of the attorneys charged with winning the case
And how the trial is reported by the press is the view the public should embrace
Almost exactly100 years ago the Scopes monkey trial was major news as it challenged the requisite belief of the bible
It seems high school teacher John Scopes was accused of teaching evolution and violating the recently passed Butler Law and therefore was libel
Apparently Scopes didn’t buy into man was formed by a lump of clay
But instead crawled out of the ocean and continued upscaling until they became the rappers of today
The two attorneys were William Jennings Bryan a staunch defender of fundamental Bible teachings and Clarence Darrow an ACLU advocate and guardian of the Constitution and each orator had their say
In the end the verdict boiled down to John Scopes had taught evolution in violation of the narrow sighted Butler Law, was fined $100 but probably couldn’t use Apple pay
The next trial of the century was highly publicized as a former football star and part-time actor was accused of killing his wife and a friend
The media had a field day with a celebrity on trial and a group of high profile lawyers to defend
The names Cochran, Bailey, Shapiro, and Clark all became familiar as the press highlighted them on nightly news
A television audience remained riveted to the testimony hoping someone would deliver uncovered clues
The trial made stars out of the involved with judges, attorneys, and witnesses all mugging for their moment in the spotlight
A huge television audience hung on every word as racial overtones were front and center since the accused was black and the deceased white
In the end celebrity won out as the only suspect walked away scot-free and two were dead
Leaving remaining images of a tainted glove that didn’t fit and the staircase where the murdered had bled
The current trial has charges being brought before a jury to consider whether an ex-president committed fraud by falsifying payments to a porn star
The eighteen-year-old charges for an alleged cover-up are some of many filed by leftist DA’s in two different states and seem increasingly bizarre
This trial features attacks on the Constitution itself not on people or a religious standard
A socialist win at all costs, by the DA and judges appears more and more like justice is ignored and the rulings are gerrymandered
While this circus trial continues the three ring act is oozing with contempt by celebrity wannabes evidenced by the jurists, prosecutors, and the defense
The Republic might just hang in the balance as any verdict might just come at America’s expense
