The trial of Tom Robinson was held a year after the incident, the

incident that an innocent black man was accused of rapping a

white women. The trial took place in Maycomb County’s
courtroom. People who attended were Judge Taylor, Atticus,
Mayella Ewell, Bob Ewell, Tom Robinson, Jem, Scout, Dill, and
the black community to show respect for Tom Robinson.
Everyone knew that a black man being accused of rape would
never overpower a white women and her father. Tom Robinson’s
Trial was unfair and deserves a retrial because there was no
medical evidence, there was a prejudice jury, and the witness’s
testimonies did not relate to each others.

The fact that there is no medical evidence leads to the fact that they
have no right to accuse Tom Robinson for rapping Mayella Ewell because no
one knows if the incident ever took place. Plus Atticus, being the smart
educated lawyer he is realized that when questioning he asked which side of
her face was beat up, and they answered the left side, Atticus asked Bob Ewell
if he knew how to read and write, he answered yes Atticus asked for him to
write his name, Bob Ewell took the pen and began to write with his left hand,
and being that Mayella was beat up on the left side it had to have been
someone eligible to hit or move with there left hand. A while back Tom
Robinson got his hand caught in a cotton jin, so therefore his left hand is
ineligible.

Being a black man accused of rapping a white women, while being

question and listened by a prejudice jury makes it easier to claim a black man
guilty and a white women non guilty. Whether or not they get good believable
evidence from Tom Robinson they will not accuse the white women unless
they are for sure.
