The most controversial issue in this story is probably the Thomas Robinson trial. The entire town of Maycomb was involved in this trial‚ and each took sides. I am certain that Thomas was innocent because all of the evidence pointed back to the “victim” and her father. I am 100% certain that Thomas is innocent because the bruises on the victim‚ 19-year-old Mayella Ewell‚ could only have been caused by a left-handed person. Thomas‚ however‚ lost all mobility in his whole left arm after a cotton gin
