In "To Kill a Mockingbird," the character Atticus Finch defended Tom Robinson in court. The jury members who were convinced by the evidence and testimonies in favor of Tom Robinson's innocence included some unnamed members who were swayed by Atticus's arguments and the truthfulness of the defense. Ultimately, despite their efforts, the jury found Tom Robinson guilty due to the prevailing racial prejudice in the community.
