Description

When Darwin published On Human Evolution, theists around the world had to grapple with their faith and this new scientific knowledge. The state of Tennessee saw the Theory of Evolution as a direct assault on Christian values, and therefore banned the subject from public classrooms. The resulting criminal charges against science teacher John T. Scopes in 1925 grew into one of the most notable landmark court cases in American history.

What defines guilt? Should we judge the accused based on the evidence found against them? Or by the decision made about them by a jury of their peers? Each week we look at complicated criminal cases, where the evidence and the verdict don’t always line up, testing the limits of “innocent until proven guilty.” Not Guilty is a production of Cutler Media and part of the Parcast Network.
