Licked

We were licked a hundred years before we start. I believe he meant that the case is bound to lose. The long rooted racist idea in the community already predestined the conclusion of the trial. However, he also believe it is his duty to protect justice impartially and morally right to help Tom in his case. He believe he would regret if he doesn't stand up. If I were a lawyer...hmm...maybe provide some sort of proof of some white blood in Tom (assuming he does) and kind of reduce the racist atmosphere(I know I am a terrible lawyer, I am definitely going to fail this case). Also, I will also provide analysis of Bob Ewell and Mayella Ewell's past deeds. If deemed necessary, the collection of sexual harassment evidence must be presented and provide contradiction if I can find any. I believe with that kind of biased jury, the only evidence that will decide that Tom's guilt is the testimony of Mayella and Bob Ewell. I believe that would be the only thing that the jury will entertain.
