She sees that the jury wont look at Tom Robinson. That is a sure way to tell when they have convicted a man. They feel responsible for ending another man's life.
In "To Kill a Mockingbird," Scout compares the atmosphere in the courthouse before the jury returns to a "cold February morning" as people wait nervously in silence for the verdict. The tension and anticipation are heightened as the moment of truth draws near.
Scout observes that the jury members are unperturbed and do not look at Tom Robinson or his family as they deliver the guilty verdict. She notices their indifference and lack of emotion, which contrasts with the gravity of the situation.

My honor ?
The jury don't look at the defendant (Tom Robinson).
Scout can tell when a jury has found a defendant guilty if the jury foreman announces the verdict in court in front of everyone present, including the defendant, lawyers, judge, and spectators. The judge will then typically set a date for sentencing.
Scout ask Atticus what does rape means?
In "To Kill a Mockingbird," Scout and Jem Finch noticed that the jury was not looking at Tom Robinson during the trial. Scout observes that the jury members did not glance at Tom as he walked past them, suggesting their prejudice and lack of impartiality in the case.
Atticus asked that all spectators be removed from the courthouse.
Scout has a feeling that she knows the verdict before she hears it. Right before the jury returns with the verdict, she feels the same way that she did the morning Atticus shot the mad dog. Scout knows that Atticus is doing what needs to be done, but something unhappy or sad will come out of it. The colored people stand out of respect for Atticus. They are appreciative that he tried his best to defend Tom Robinson and put his entire reputation on the line to see justice served.
Scout says that she has never seen or heard her father acting strangely. She is glad when he returns to his normal behavior.
