To Kill A Mockingbird - Jem 9 pg162

Today was Tom Robinson's trial. We went into the courtroom after Atticus was already in because we didn't if he would want us in there. The court house was packed, all the white people were on the floor and the negroes were on the balcony. We sat with Reverend Sykes p on the balcony because there was no were else to sit. The trial was very interesting. I thought we would win, by the way Atticus was defending Tom. The jury was out of the room for two hours making their decision. When they came out the said Tom Robinson was guilty. We were very disappointed because we knew Tom did not do anything. It was a sad day.
