Explanation:
In the novel “The Outsiders” by S.E. Hinton, the court’s decision regarding Bob’s murder is not explicitly stated. The story primarily revolves around the conflict between two rival gangs, the Greasers and the Socs, and the aftermath of the killing of Bob Sheldon. While the circumstances surrounding Bob’s death are explored in the narrative, the focus is more on the personal growth and development of the protagonist, Ponyboy Curtis, rather than the legal proceedings or the court’s verdict. However, closes the case.
