The trial has ended and Tom has been proven guilty. Personally, I don't think this is right. There was plenty of evidence that proved that he wasn't guilty. For example, how people's stories didn't match up. Also, Mayella was obviously beaten by someone who led with their left hand. Her own father even testified to have seen her with a black eye on the right side. However, the jury failed to take into account that Tom obviously couldn't lead with his left hand because he doesn't have one! But.... Mr. Ewell does write with his left hand, which was proven in the courtroom, and this also means he could have very easily beaten his daughter. So, even though the jury had plenty of evidence against the Ewells, they still sided with them. Yes, this is common of the times, but they are truly messing with someones life, and it really bothers me!

Totally right. And you'd think that they'd try to charge Mr. Ewell with child abuse--if they let him off, then he can do it all over again! Doesn't the court want to prevent that? No! Send the innocent one to jail; he's black. Skin color is not a crime.
