Bob Ewell's testimony in "To Kill a Mockingbird" falsely accuses Tom Robinson of raping his daughter, Mayella Ewell. Through his account, he tries to portray himself and his family as victims and shifts blame onto Tom Robinson, while attempting to maintain his perceived authority and power in the community. Ultimately, Bob's testimony highlights the racism and prejudice present in Maycomb and the injustice faced by Tom Robinson.
