I think they were just kids, not so much concerned about the verdict only in that it was their father that won the case. Also, they were learning a lot of lessons from their father while this was going on. Prejudice and hatred because of a person's skin color is wrong and defending someone even though it was not the popular thing to do was right. They learned a very valuable lesson that summer. Though I'm sure they were always taught the right thing all the time from their father. It was the drama and the extent that hatred caused people to go that made the book so unforgettable.

Stunned disbelief (later on their father explained to them why he would lose the case). They worshiped their father. They knew what the verdict was supposed to be. They didn't know about the prejudice towards blacks in their town at the time. They were vaguely aware of it but had sort of been shielded from it growing up

They are surprised as where we all! We all know OJ killed her, but that's a loop hole for ya.
