Tom Robinson' trial Many people gathered to watch Atticus Finch defend a black man, Tom Robinson in the hot Maycomb County Courtroom yesterday. "...That Negroe yonder took advantage of me," claimed Mayella Ewell. Tom Robinson was accused of raping Mayella Ewell. It happened when Mayella Ewell invited Tom into the Ewell yard to do odd jobs for her for no charge. Tom Robinson accepted out of pity for Mayella Ewell Mayella claimed that Tom followed her into the house when she asked him to chop up a chiffarobe. According to Mayella, he struck her in the face and took advantage of her. Tom's story was much different. "She reached up an' kissed me side of th' face. She says she's never kissed a grown man before an' she might have well kissed a Negro. Mayella was the daughter of Bob Ewell, and also a member of the Ewell family. The Ewell family was the outclass of the society with children only going to the first day of school and quitting school soon afterwards. Bob Ewell was a typical drunkard, and hence Mayella had to take care of all the children at home. Tom Robinson has worked on Mr. Link Deas's farm for eight years. "...that boy's worked for me eight years an' I ain't had a speck o' trouble outa him. Not a speck," stated Mr. Deas during the trial. While working on the farm, he had an accident with the cotton gin, leaving his entire left hand completely useless. Atticus made a fine speech by starting the trial by asking for evidence from Mayella Ewell, Bob Ewell and Tom Robinson. Atticus made a good stand by finding out if the people was left handed or right handed. The most outstanding fact was that it was confirmed Mayella's right eye was blackened, proving she had been hit by a left-handed but Tom Robinson had his left-handed rendered useless. However, the final verdict was that Tom Robinson was guilty of raping Mayella Ewell and Tom was sent to jail. After the trial, I had an interview with Atticus, and one of the questions i asked him was why he stood up for Tom Robinson, a black, when there is obvious prejudice against blacks around here. He stated, "Although we had already been beaten hundreds years age, we still had to stand up to the injustice, no matter how obvious it is, at all cost."
