Tom got his left arm caught in machinery and it no longer works, this is significant because Mayella testified that Tom strangled her with both hands, and held her down with one arm while hitting her with the other. Tom can not use both hands so the marks she had around her throat could not have been made by him, so Mayella must have lied in her testimony
Also she was beaten on the right side of her body, and only someone who could use their left hand could have committed the crime, and Tom couldn't have done it, since his left arm is useless and unable to move.
