Title: Tom Robinson, Rapist or Innocent?
Tom Robinson, a negro male, was charged with rape against Mayella Violet Ewell. The court was held yesterday with Atticus Finch as his defense lawyer. There has been some controversy on multiple things about this court. Atticus Finch, arguably the best lawyer in Maycomb, was appointed to a colored man in what seemed to be an obvious case. The controversy is that he Judge chose Mr. Finch deliberately to give Tom Robinson a better chance. Apparently, this has worked because Bob Ewell (Miss Mayella’s father), was exposed by Atticus and the colored man’s testimony. It was made clear that there was an abusive relationship between Mr. Ewell and his daughter (The details may not be suitable for the broader audience). The verdict was that Tom Robinson was indeed guilty, but was he actually guilty? The verdict was questionable, but it has been decided that Tom Robinson will be put to death.
Title: Bob Ewell DEAD?
Bob Ewell, the father of Mayella Ewell (the rape victim) was found dead last night under a tree with a knife found in his chest. The killer unknown and so is the motive. There are no suspects yet, but rumors have been going around Maycomb like a wildfire. The main rumored suspect is Jeremy "Jem" Finch. His little sister Jean Louise "Scout" Finch, was attacked by Bob Ewell, giving him motive and since Bob Ewell was reportedly drunk, it would have prevented Mr. Ewell from defending himself with any success. The case has not been thoroughly inspected and it does not seem like it will be in the future. This shall remain a dark part of Maycomb's history but I am certain that he will not be missed.
