I predict that Tom Robinson will be let free when other people start to realize he did not really do it. When Judge Taylor came out to tell everyone if he was guilty or not guilty, his voice was small like he did not want to say or announce that Tom was guilty. Usually back then it would have been an easy decision because of the Jim Crow laws, but it took the Jury a long time to choose weather he was guilty or not guilty so he must have thought that Tom Robinson was telling the truth but due to the Jim Crow laws he said Tom was guilty. Atticus tells Scout and Jem that nothing will happen to Tom. He thinks they will have another trial on Toms case. Atticus thinks Tom will be let free and will win the next trial if they have another one. I also predict that Bob Ewell will start targeting or coming at Atticus and maybe even his family. Bob Ewell stopped Atticus at the corner of the post office and spat in his face because he was angry at him. He was angry at him because he stood up for a black man, Tom Robinson, and he proved Bob Ewell wrong and caught him in most of his lies. Bob Ewell threatens Atticus at the post office and told him he’d get him if it took the rest of his
