Jem is confident that the jury will not convict Tom Robinson because Atticus made such an appealing case. Atticus made it look as though Bob Ewell had raped his daughter not Tom Robinson because Mayella was hit mostly on the right side of her face, this means that a left-handed person would be more likely to have hit Mayella. Tom Robinson could not have hurt Mayella because his left-hand is crippled (hurt). Bob Ewell is left-handed proved to us by Atticus when Atticus made Bob sign his name, this means that Bob Ewell is more likely to be have hurt Mayella. This shows that Jem was confident that the jury will not convict Tom Robinson because he was an innocent man and Atticus made an appealing case for Tom.
