Tom should have not been found guilty of raping a white girl‚ Mayella Ewell. He was found guilty because he was black‚ and blacks are always assumed to be guilty.

The TV show ‘Dexter’ is the story about an anti-hero named Dexter Morgan that works as a blood splatter expert for the Miami Police Department by day‚ but by night he kills bad guys who have escaped the legal system.
