Clarence Darrow faces jury bribery charges in 1911 trial in Los Angeles

Clarence Darrow, a famous lawyer known for defending labor rights, faced serious accusations of jury bribery in Los Angeles in 1911. He was representing the McNamara brothers, accused of a deadly bombing, when his chief investigator attempted to bribe jurors. Darrow's trial lasted three months, with evidence suggesting he was aware of the bribery scheme. Despite this, he was acquitted after a brief jury deliberation. However, he faced another bribery charge the following year, which ended in a deadlocked jury. After these events, Darrow continued to take on high-profile cases, including the Scopes Monkey Trial. His legacy remains complex, with some believing he was guilty of the bribery charges, while others view him as a champion for the oppressed.
