Boo Radley is a mocking symbol in the book and to put him in the limelight would ruin him. People would want to cheer and congradulate him for the death of Bob, but Boo is too shy and timid to be placed as center of attention. They lie because it would be a punishment for Boo to tell that he killed Bob after saving Jem and Scout.

Heck Tate and Atticus decide to lie about how Bob Ewell dies to protect Boo Radley. They believe that revealing Boo's involvement in the incident would bring unwanted attention and potentially harm Boo, who had acted to protect Jem and Scout. By crediting Bob Ewell's death to a self-inflicted injury, they ensure Boo's anonymity and safety.

∙ 12y agoHeck Tate knows that the true story of Bob Euell's death would result in Boo Radley being thrust into the center of attention- which would be a very bad thing for Boo as a recluse. Rather than do that, Heck- as the Sheriff- proclaimed that Bob Euell had died in an accident- "He fell on his knife."- with no mention of Boo Radley.
