Atticus was accused of raping Mayella. Mayella said Tom Robinson was helping her with a chore and he came up from behind her and punched her on her right eye but Tom says “ My left hand is useless sir”. When Mayella accuses Tom of punching her he couldn't have done it because his left arm is useless. This was not Tom's first time helping out Mayella with a chore. Tom has helped her out before but they hadn't had any problems.
They try to accuse Tom of raping Mayella because in their time most people were racist. Atticus
