The trial was later appealed to a higher court, and charges were dropped. The law against evolution was subsequently ended, letting evolution be taught in schools.

When you commit a crime in a state that makes the insanity defense illegal can you move to another state and have the trial held there?

A change of venue is granted when it is deemed that the defendant cannot receive a fair trial. That does not translate into the trial being moved to another state, it is moved to another jurisdiction,county, etc. The defendant must stand trial in the state in which the crime was committed. Even if the defendant is charged with a federal crime; the trial generally takes place in the federal court in the state where the crime was committed.

What effect did the Scopes trial have on society?

There was a great deal of interest in the Scopes trial which took place in Tennessee in 1925. The trial dealt with the right to teach evolution in the public schools. Scopes was convicted on this charge and fined, but there was much ridicule towards the state for passing the law in the first place. The trial was a great embarrassment to the state and probably kept other fundamentalist states from passing similar laws.
