I don't think this is the right question becacause the jury that made the decision was not from Maycomb. They were from Old Sarum. But I believe that Atticus was glad because the jury took al ong time to come to a decision on the final saying of the trial. He thinks that Maycomb is going to change, but is going to take sometime. Atticus thinks that people just don't understand things. He thinks that Maycomb people judge too quickly.
As the trial day approaches atticus is working harder. jem is worried about his father's saftey and if the jury will be fair. The trial is a focal point in Maycomb, people from out of town came to go to the trial. Hope this helps ;)
