In Chapter 20, what is Jem's projected verdict on the case so far?

In Chapter 20, Scout and Dill return from their visit with Dolphus Raymond outside of the courthouse. When Scout returns, she realizes that she's missed the first part of Atticus' defense and asks Jem how long they've been at it. Jem tells his sister that Atticus has just gone over the evidence. Jem says to Scout that he doesn't see how they cannot win the case. In Jem's mind, the evidence clearly suggests that Tom Robinson is innocent. He tells Scout that Atticus has made it "plain and easy" so that everyone could understand the lack of evidence and conflicting testimonies (Lee 270). Atticus then proceeds to give his closing remarks, in which he urges the jury to look past their prejudices and judge the case strictly on the testimonies and evidence provided. Unfortunately, Maycomb's racist jury convicts Tom Robinson of raping and beating Mayella Ewell. After witnessing racial injustice for the first time, Jem loses his childhood innocence and becomes jaded about the community members of Maycomb.
