Her injuries are not those that would have been inflicted by a man with one arm, but could have been inflicted by a left-handed man, like her father. Mayella is not telling the truth: she was injured by her father, not by the man she accused.
Mayella Ewell has injuries consistent with physical abuse, including bruises and markings on her face and body. These injuries suggest that she may have been subjected to violence or mistreatment.
In the book To Kill a Mockingbird, Mayella Ewell was injured on her face with a noticeable black as well as her neck and arms from being beaten.
She was beat up about the face, had a black eye (the right one), had deep bruises around her throat
She was beat up about the face, had a black eye (the right one), had deep bruises around her throat, and was supposedly raped.
she was injured in the side by a left-handed man (bob Ewell )
Mayella Ewell said that she was raped by Tom Robinson
He first explains that "She was pretty well beat up". Then says "Well, she was beaten around the head. There was already bruises comin' on her arms. She also had a black eye. Right eye.
The left side of her face and around her neck.
He wants to show that Bob Ewell is left-handed, which goes along with Heck’s description of Mayella’s injuries. (meaning Bob probably beat up Mayella)

Mayella Ewell's lawyer was Atticus Finch, who was appointed to defend Tom Robinson in the trial.
He says that as he was coming from the woods he heard mayella screaming and that he had seen tom Robinson on her
Bob Ewell's oldest daughter is named Mayella Ewell.
I believe the lawyer for the Bob and Mayella Ewell is Mr.Gilmer! I hope im right :) mister gilmer is the county prosecuter who represents "the people" so he is indirectly advocate for the ewells

Mayella was different from the other Ewells in that she showed some aspiration for a better life beyond the poverty and neglect of her family. She attempted to bring some beauty and cleanliness to her home, and she showed vulnerability and kindness during the trial despite the pressure and abuse from her father.
Mr. Ewell claimed that he saw his daughter, Mayella, being attacked by Tom Robinson, resulting in him coming to her rescue and Tom fleeing the scene. He testified that Tom was the one responsible for assaulting Mayella.
In the novel "To Kill a Mockingbird" by Harper Lee, Tom Robinson doesn't say anything specific when walking by the Ewells' house. He simply greets Mayella Ewell politely out of respect for her and the situation they find themselves in due to his trial.
Mayella says she doesn't need to go to school because the Ewells are poor and don't value education. Additionally, she is expected to help take care of her siblings and do chores around the house, which leaves her with little time for school.
The one bright spot in the Ewells' yard is the red geraniums growing in an old, rusty tomato can. This small touch of beauty amidst the squalor of the Ewells' home symbolizes hope and resilience in the face of poverty and neglect.
