Tom later admitted this to the jury, a big, life threatening mistake. One more way we know Tom is innocent is how he told the truth, as the other people lied. He knew that he was fighting for his life in that court case, and he was not going to die knowing he told a lie. Tom wanted to tell people the absolute truth, even if nobody believed him. For these three reasons, Tom is innocent. Along with his innocence, Tom is also hard working. A reason I believe he is hardworking is how he helped Mayella, even though he had another job. Tom could have denied Mayella's request and went on with his day. Instead, he goes willingly out of his way to help her, something a hard worker would do. Another way to prove this is he works all year long, picking cotton and other trees. He must put many hours into his job and it sounds like a difficult job, especially in the hot Alabama summers. Knowing Tom, he sticks with it and makes it work, no matter how difficult it gets to
