Tom Robinson Trial Report

Ladies and Gentlemen of the jury, we are all gathered here today for the case of Tom Robinson and the accused rape of Mayella Ewell. First off, I would like to thank the jury for taking time out of the day to come and hear this case. I am here today to prove that my client Tom Robinson is not guilty for five reason main reasons. Tom had no ability to strangle a Mayella with two hands. The man that attacked Mayella Ewell was left-handed. Mr. Ewell never called a doctor, showing he didn’t care about her condition. There is no proof that the rape was even done. And Bob and Mayella Ewell had two completely different testimonies. Now, there are other small reasons to prove his innocence but I will show you the important ones. I ask you to listen
Heck Tate explained that Mayella had strangle marks going all the way around her neck. This means that the person attacked Mayella had the ability to use both hands. Also, I later asked Mr. Ewell if he agreed with what Mr. Tate said about her conditions and he said “Oh yeah, I hold with everything that Tate said.” Now, if you will look at my client, he has no control over his left hand, he caught his left hand in a cotton gin when he was young. His arm is almost a foot shorter. And it is nearly impossible to fit one hand around the entire neck of someone. But, there was someone around at this time who can use both
If we recall, there was never a doctor called to examine the condition of her, which tells us that there was never an official medical voice confirming she was raped. Now if we think, that means we never even knew if the raped occured or not. We have no proof to show that Tom Robinson raped Mayella Ewell. As Atticus said “The state has not produced one iota of medical evidence to the effect that the crime Tom Robinson was charged with never took place.” Now why would this case even be brought to court if there isn’t even anything confirmed that she was raped? Just think about
