Sheriff Tate’s Decision
Sheriff Tate made the decision to call Bob Ewell’s death an accident. As we know, Boo Radley killed Mr. Ewell by stabbing him. While I would not condemn Boo for doing this, seeing as Mr. Ewell had the intent to kill the children, I do not fully agree with the idea of lying to cover up what had happened. Lying, as we know, is wrong; however, I can see why Tate chose to do so to help Boo. I would have handled the situation differently by telling the truth, but justifying the decisions that were made. If Tate had not called the death an accident, Boo would have been exposed to the public eye, which would have been very detrimental to him. Like I said, I would have told the story, the whole story, but would have justified
