Tom Robinson is an innocent man.He was accused of rape towards Mayella Ewell.The jury should have not found Tom Robinson guilty because Tom Robinson did not rape Mayella. Evidence shows Tom Robinson did not rape Mayella.When Tom was younger he got his left arm caught in a cotton gin so his left arm is 12 inches shorter than his right.Atticus asked again “Is this the man who raped you?”“It most certainly is” said Mayella.Atticus next question was one simple word. ”How?” (249).Mayella started to stutter making things even more curious for the jury.However Mr.Gilmer objected saying “he was not irrelevant or immaterial, but Atticus was browbeating the witness”. (249) Judge Taylor explained to Mr.Gilmer the witness was actually browbeating Atticus.It was nearly impossible for Tom Robinson to rape Mayella Ewell with a disable arm.
