What is the general reaction to the judgment against Snopes in the courtroom?

When the judge decides that there isn't enough evidence to convict Snopes of stealing five dollars from the Armstids, there is a murmur throughout the crowd as it is clear to many of the onlookers that Snopes certainly did steal her money, as they saw Hipps pass the bills to him themselves. Mrs. Armstid, on the other hand, is simply too defeated to keep fighting the court and walks out of the building with a blank look in her eyes.
