How does this statement reflect the simplicity of the case? Think about Atticus’s statement to the jury, “This case is as simple as black and white.”

In context, there is no evidence to convict Tom of the crime. The evidence is right there in front of them in black and white. Note, black and white has a dual meaing.... not simply the way the case is officially laid out, but rather, the way in which race plays into the decision.... an all white jury and a black defendant.
