I quietly and respectfully sat through Mr. Gilmer's final statements to the jury and listened to the evidence he gave. I did not want to become overconfident but I believed that my evidence was much more convincing. I told myself not to get my hopes off based on the fact of who was in the jury.
"Court dismissed until the jury decides it's verdict," announced Judge Taylor.
I turned around and noticed that the seats were being emptied and people were flowing out of the door. I kept watch on Jem and Scout because I did not want to let them out of my sight again. I saw that they walked out of the court house with Calpurnia and was sure that they would be back as soon as they could.
"You did a good job, Atticus," I turned back around and saw that it was Mr. Gilmer who had made the nice comment.
"Well, thank you, so did you," I replied.
"What do you honestly think that the jury will decide?"
"You already know the answer to that. But I'd rather not speak of the future at the moment," I ended the conversation and reviewed my notes to pass the time until the jury was finished deciding. Around an hour later Judge Taylor was informed that the jury had came to a decision. The bell was rang to let everyone know to come inside and the seats were filled quickly. I noticed that Jem and Scout had entered the room and the court was called to order.

I like how you said you thought your evidence was better then Mr.Gilmers. I like how you were predicting the jury’s decision. Then I like how you kind of put your perspective in with Atticus’s. I like how you were telling your self what to do in your mind at the beginning.
