As the courthouse waits for the verdict, Scout is already making some conclusions of her own. She tells us that the courthouse feels cold and empty, even though it is full of people.

Right before the verdict is read, Scout notices that the jury refuses to look at Tom. All of this is meant to prepare the reader for the conclusion that Scout eventually reaches: they've most likely lost.
