This story is “To Kill a Mockingbird”, written by Harper Lee. The children Jem and Scout Finch live in Maycomb and they witness how their father Atticus Finch defends a black man Tom Robinson.  They know he is not guilty, but the jury is prejudiced against black men. In the courtroom, as the jury comes to deliver the verdict, Scout remembers how Atticus told her that a jury never looks at a man they have convicted.  Neither of the 12 members of the jury looked at Tom Robinson.
