Editing Clarence Darrow (section)

====From defense lawyer to defendant====
Two months later, Darrow was charged with two counts of attempting to bribe jurors in both cases. He faced two lengthy trials. In the first, defended by [[Earl Rogers]], he was acquitted. Rogers became ill during the second trial and rarely came to court.<ref>{{cite book|last=Cowan|first=Geoffrey|title=The People V. Clarence Darrow: The Bribery Trial of America's Greatest Lawyer|year=1993|publisher=Random House|location=New York}}</ref> Darrow served as his own attorney for the remainder of the trial, which ended with a [[hung jury]]. A deal was struck in which the district attorney agreed not to retry Darrow if he promised not to practice law again in California.<ref>see in "Clarence Darrow: A Sentimental Rebel" by Arthur and Lila Weinberg.</ref> Darrow's early biographers, [[Irving Stone]] and Arthur and Lila Weinberg, asserted that he was not involved in the bribery conspiracy, but more recently, Geoffrey Cowan and John A. Farrell, with the help of new evidence, concluded that he almost certainly was.<ref name="Farrell" /><ref>Farrell, John A., "[https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/clarence-darrow-jury-tamperer-109085/ Clarence Darrow: Jury Tamperer?]" ''Smithsonian Magazine,'' December  2011.
