That makes me really mad that Tom Robinson was found guilty. None of the evidence said that he did it. It was only Mayella and Ewell's word against Tom Robinson's. The court case showed Mayella for what a mean person she really is. I don't see how you could be that selfish. She made him do a bunch of chores for her that she could easily do and then she repays him by accusing him of raping her.
That was really wierd when Mr. Gilmer said a bunch of really rascist statements to Tom Robinson. No one said anything at all. That should have at least been badgering the witness or something. I was also suprised that more people didn't share Dill's reaction. I would definately go wack Mr. Gilmer for talking like that. It is just really wierd that people just accepted that back then.
I would have thought that Atticus's speech would have gained more support. He told everyone exactly why it was wrong and yet they still found Tom Robinson guilty.
