So with the trial...the poor poor trial...we see Atticus at work. The town is up and around, everyone seems to be interested. The kids go to the colored section , Atticus unaware of them watching. Heck Tate is summoned. with his account, we find out that Mayella was beaten on her right side and no doctor was called. When Bob ewell comes to the stand, he says he saw Tom raping his daughter and ran for the sheriff. With the help of Atticus, we find out he was left handed. Mayella cried, saying Atticus tricked her or is going to. And Tom, being polite, said she forced herself on him. Same time Mr.Gilmer is making comments to Tom as calling him boy. In the End, we find out Tom is guilty because of one man.
"The defendant is not guilty, but somebody in this courtroom is."
The summary of the trial in Atticus words.
I think it was sad that Tom went through so much trouble and was wronged becasue he was black. Even if he didnt die from the actual trial or people upset he 'raped 'Mayella, he did die because of race. Or at least what i think. No man gets shot that many times because he was climbing a fence. They probably didnt warn him and said "hey theres a black man climbing. Lets play target practice."
