Bob Ewell's and Mayella's stories do not match up, and Mayella constantly changes her story. Tom Robinson answers each question directly and clearly his story makes much more sense in relation to the situation than the Ewells'.

Tom Robinson should be acquitted because there is clear evidence that he did not commit the crime he is accused of. The testimonies and facts presented in the case strongly support his innocence. Additionally, the racial bias in the legal system should be considered in evaluating the evidence against him.
