The mockingbird represents childhood innocense and ignorance. The mockingbird does no harm to anyone and is simply blissfully happy. What Atticus is saying is that to kill something so harmless and defenseless and unexposed to the evils of the world is a sin. It’s just too horrible for any worldly punishment.
Between Scout and Jack, basically, Jack was quick to take Francis’s side for two reasons. Francis had presented his case before Scout, and Jack had already formed an opinion on Scout based on her random swearing. So, it’s important to get both sides of the argument before making any decisions or accusations. And don’t judge someone until you know what they’ve just gone through.
