Tom Robinson would pass Mayella Ewells house on his way to the fields everyday‚ to help her out with things around the house. This dose not make him guilty. Tom is a good man. He would never hurt a fly. In fact his owner made a statement that "hes never caused a speck of trouble." My first point of evidence has to do with DNA and blood.

The Tom Robinson case in To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee shows unfairness and inequality in colored people compared to whites. Tom Robinson is a black man who is accused of raping Mayella Ewell‚ a white woman. Evidence clearly shows that Tom did not commit rape‚ but the jury still found him guilty according to his skin color. Tom now has to face his life in misery‚ knowing that he didn’t do anything wrong.
