Jem thinks the case will go in Atticus's favor (in other words, bob ewell will lose) since Atticus has a reason why Mayella is lying. Jem is very upset once he realizes that Atticus lost the case but later atticus tells him that if a black man is accused of anything from a white man, the white man is sure to win since Maycomb is made up of many biased people.
