Answered by Aslan. As Atticus has explained to Scout many times about this, He is doing this becasue he values equailty and justice. He believes that everyone is equal and therefore just because Tom Robinson is black, doesn't mean that he should not defend him.e says to Scout many times, if he did not defend this man, he could never tell Jem or her (Scout) not to do something. He has to set a good example for his children and if he expects them to do something or follow certain values, then he must display them first.
Making the world better, one answer at a time. Jem felt that Atticus and Tom Robinson were going to win the trial because Atticus proved that Tom Robinson was guilty and that Bob Ewell was lying throughout his Testimoney and that Atticus made amazing points near the end of the trial!ey I just finished reading that book for school. So anyways he gets mad when he talks about the trial because he was there and he witnessed everything firsthand. He saw how T â¦ om Robinson couldn't have done it because his left hand was injured during a tractor accident and he no longer has use of it.
