Why did Atticus decide to defend Tom Robinson even though the outcome of the trial was largely determined?

Atticus believes that all people are worth respecting and he lives by the Golden Rule. For instance, he says, “You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view—until you climb into his skin and walk around in it,” (30). Here it is clear that Atticus values other people’s perspectives and that must also include Tom Robinson’s. Atticus also believes in racial equality. When talking to his brother, Jack, about the trial, Atticus says, “Why reasonable people go stark raving mad when anything involving a Negro comes up, is something I don’t pretend to understand,” (88). Atticus believes it’s crazy to treat Tom differently just because he’s black.
