Miss Maudie says this when the Finches and she are discussing the outcome of Tom Robinson's trial. Since the jury didn't come to an automatic verdict of 'guilty' right away but actually deliberated over it for quite a long time, she considers this as progress and a positive step towards real justice, however small it may be. Atticus adds that although he cannot be sure who it was, at least one person on the jury took an initial stance for Tom's innocence, and he thinks that person was Mr. Cunningham. He guesses this from the awkward writing on the slip of paper used to write the verdict.

Atticus plans to make an appeal, but as the story turns out, he never gets the chance to do so. Tom tries to escape while being transferred to another jail and is shot down and killed.

Why do currents flow to the right in the northern hemisphere?

In the northern hemisphere, currents are influenced by the Coriolis effect, which causes moving air or water to be deflected to the right. This is due to the rotation of the Earth, which causes an apparent force to the right of the direction of motion in the northern hemisphere. As a result, currents tend to flow in a clockwise direction in the northern hemisphere.
