Today was the day of Tom Robinsons trial. Jem, Dill, and I sat in the balconey with Reverend Skykes unseen. I've never truly seen Atticus in action on a case. Mr. Heck Tate, the sheriff, was called to the stand to be testifyed. Atticus questioned him like there was no tomorrow. He was asking the most tricky questions and tried to bring out unsupported evidence in Heck Tate. He was very clever with his wording and I had a good feeling that this case would be a win for Atticus.
Next up to the stand was Bob Ewell. He was a tall skinny man who resembled a chicken. He had a bad reputation for being lazy and everyone in Maycomb knew it. He was the father of Mayella Ewell, the girl who claimed Tom Robinson raped her. Again, Atticus was working his magic on proving that Tom was innocent. I hope the case works in his favor.
