There are no whispers of tired men. The babies seem to be attentive to what Atticus has to say. The wind does not even dare to stir. The birds stop their chattering and pecking.

Atticus is a simple lawyer and uses his simplicity to tell the court that this should never have come to court. It is a straightforward "black and white" case. Atticus is able to grasp the jury's attention ...
