“I have never killed a man, but I’ve read many an obituary with a great deal of satisfaction.”
Clarence Darrow (1857-1938)
A lawyer, civil libertarian, and agnostic, Darrow may be best known for his defense of John Scopes, dramatized in the film Inherit the Wind. Scopes had dared to teach evolution in 1920’sTennessee. They lost the case, but the charge was later reversed by a higher court. Darrow opposed the death penalty his entire career, adding a further twist to the above.
