Trial
Today is the day of the trial, the case of rape by Tom Robinson. I already know that Tom will be guilty, but have prepared for the occasion. I was prepared to ask many questions, and state many reasons to why Tom is not guilty. I began by qestioning Mayella why she did not yell for help, or fight back. I also stated that Tom's left hand can not be used so he could not have beaten Mayella with two hands. Then I called Tom up and asked him to explain what happened. I believe Tom is not guilty, and was raped by Mayella. Then calpurnia came in passing me a note that the children are not home. I was shocked and furious that they had come. I sent them away and told them to go eat some supper. I had not wished for them to see the end of this case. After waiting for a while, the jury had come to the verdict that Tom is guilty.

You should've known you were going to lose. That's what happens when you defend a guilty man. He got exactly what he deserves, and I'm glad that everyone in Maycomb knows he's guilty.
Hey Dad, i wanted to say that you did an amazing job at the trial. Those jury people dont know what their thinking. Even though our town is pretty rasist i believe that the judge knew the real case and if it was up to him, i believe he would make it right. I can now see why everyone in town has liked you, up until this point, but Scout and me will be with you all the way.
