@IsabellaS_bcds I agree your point of this particular case setting an example for the future and how the jury will come to a decision. As a result of this case, it will be impactful for other similar cases.
The jury was determined to find the Scottsboro Boys guilty, in order to preserve the honor of the white women. It is stereotypical that all black men are automatically guilty. If Jem knew, I think Jem would have been more pessimistic, because of previous similar cases.#BCDSHist8
