the jury. Once more, a group of twelve men came with an intent of charging
Tom Robinson guilty. No where did it say the bias jury initially had a
guilty verdict in mind, but with the attitude towards blacks in Maycomb
County, Lee made it bluntly obvious that they had no intention of
pronouncing Tom innocent. In the book Atticus made it very clear, "In our

Brave New World Summary
Number of words: 2680 - Number of pages: 10.... be important later on.
