An Explanation
Atticus explains why Mr. Cunningham and the men from Old Sarum were there
He explains that Scout made Mr. Cunningham step into Tom’s skin for a minute by reminding him of his entailment
He got justice under the law
Tom deserves the same opportunity

Pre-Trial
The jury is selected for the trial (12 white men)
Women were not allowed to serve on the jury
Negroes were not allowed to serve on the jury
Will Tom really be tried by a jury of his peers?

Dolphus Raymond
We learn about Dolphus Raymond
He is a white man who lives with a Negro woman in the Negro community
He has mixed children He is supposedly a
drunkard He has whiskey in a coca-
cola bottle Why can Dolphus
Raymond break the rigid rules of Maycomb’s caste structure?

In the Balcony
The kids decide to go see the trial (even though Atticus
told them not to go)
They sit in the balcony with Reverend Sykes and the Negro community
What does this show us about the children?

The Trial Begins
Mr. Gilmer Prosecuting
attorney Atticus Finch
Defense attorney In a rape case, the
burden of proof lies with the prosecution
![Page 9: To Kill a Mockingbird Chapters 16-20. Chapter 16 Explaining Upcoming Events.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020920/5697c01f1a28abf838cd1b26/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
First Witness for the Prosecution
Heck Tate Maycomb County
Sheriff Sheriff Tate stated that
the alleged rape took place on November 21 of the previous year
He said that Bob Ewell came to him and said that Tom Robinson had raped his daughter Mayella
![Page 10: To Kill a Mockingbird Chapters 16-20. Chapter 16 Explaining Upcoming Events.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020920/5697c01f1a28abf838cd1b26/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Investigative Evidence
In his investigation, Sheriff Tate stated that Mayella had been badly beaten
Her right eye was black
She had choke marks all around her neck (both sides)
![Page 11: To Kill a Mockingbird Chapters 16-20. Chapter 16 Explaining Upcoming Events.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020920/5697c01f1a28abf838cd1b26/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Cross-Examination
Under cross-examination by Atticus, Sheriff Tate revealed he never called the doctor because he could see she had been badly beaten.
Therefore, Atticus has shown that without the medical evidence to substantiate the case
There is now doubt that the rape even took place
Does the fact that Mayella was severely beaten mean she was raped?
![Page 12: To Kill a Mockingbird Chapters 16-20. Chapter 16 Explaining Upcoming Events.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020920/5697c01f1a28abf838cd1b26/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Second Witness for the Prosecution
Robert E. Lee (Bob) Ewell Bob stated that he
agreed with everything Heck Tate said
Bob claimed he saw Tom “ruttin’ on my Mayeller.”
He never asked for a doctor to be called
![Page 13: To Kill a Mockingbird Chapters 16-20. Chapter 16 Explaining Upcoming Events.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020920/5697c01f1a28abf838cd1b26/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Cross-Examination
Under cross-examination by Atticus he is made to be buffoonish
Atticus reveals that Bob is left handed, and that he can read and write

Cross-Examination
Under cross-examination by Atticus she is unsure of her answers
She contradicts herself several times; she contradicts her father’s testimony
She cannot look at Tom She believes Atticus is
trying to trick her or humiliate her

Cross-Examination
Atticus has Tom stand during her testimony to bring out the fact he has a crippled arm.
It was caught in a cotton gin when he was young and now hangs useless at his side.
Atticus tries to get Mayella to admit that Bob beat her up and that no rape took place
Mayella has an outburst on the stand and cries (sympathy vote)

Closing Argument

This case should never have come to trial

He calls on their integrity and ethics to do the right thing
