hello why did attics allow the kids to return for the verdict inside the courtroom

Atticus felt that the children had already seen and heard most of what had gone on in the courtroom, so he might as well let them be present for the verdict.

“The jury might be out and back in a minute, we don’t know—” but we could tell Atticus was relenting. “Well, you’ve heard it all, so you might as well hear the rest. Tell you what, you all can come back when you’ve eaten your supper—eat slowly, now, you won’t miss anything important—and if the jury’s still out, you can wait with us. But I expect it’ll be over before you get back.”
