It should be noted that in the famous Darrow/Bryan “Scopes” court case, ALL those from local and regional newspapers thought Bryan won. It was only the national metropolitan reporters who thought Darrow won.
Hmmm.... that’s interesting.
Not surprising at all.
Yep, and the vast majority of the public was backing Bryan too.
Lawyers basically followed a similar tactic in Roe vs Wade, they simply wanted a landmark case they could use to try to change public opinion.
