'Losing my memory....'


"Can't remember if Jem was 12 or 13."

What is the meaning of this line?

I just can't see where it fits in, and I don't remember it from the book.

It's a line from the book. Based on what Scout says, Atticus first believed that Jem stabbed Bob Ewell and was trying to plan the defence of his action to the court. I don't know if juvenile court existed then but Jem's age probably has some importance.
