question
Uncle Jack broke up the fight between Scout and Francis. He automatically took Francis's side. Since Francis was injured, he looked like a wronged party. Scout just gave in to Uncle Jack and said that she did what he said she had. Later, she points out to Jack that he didn't even give her a chance to explain, that Atticus always listens to both sides before he decides which person is guilty.
