The Lawyer who won the trial was Attorney William Jennings Bryan. However it might be important to point out that the verdict was later overturned by the appellate court of Tennessee.
Correction: Attorney Clarance Darrow was the lawyer who won the trial. Attorney William Jennings Bryan was council for the defense. The case was still overturned on appeal.
