I predict that Tom Robinson will lose the case against Bob Ewell. There are two possibilities of what could happen. Either Bob Ewell will win, or Tom Robinson will win. Some reasons that Bob Ewell will win, is that he has a racial advantage, and this could work in his advantage in many cases.

Link Deas, Tom’s owner shouted during the trial, “I just want the whole lot of you to know one thing right now. That boy's worked for me eight years an' I ain't had a speck o'trouble outa him. Not a speck." This statement benefits Tom Robinson, because it makes Tom seem more believable and trustworthy. For these reasons, I believe that Tom
