Scout actually read this in an editorial by Mr. Underwood, therefore this statement was by Mr. Underwood and not scout.

Scout is suggesting that in the prejudiced society of Maycomb, a Black man like Tom Robinson had little chance of getting a fair trial once accused by a white woman like Mayella Ewell. The racial biases and deep-rooted discrimination ensured that Tom was already deemed guilty in the eyes of the majority, regardless of the evidence or truth.

∙ 10y agoTom Robinson was considered a "dead man" because if a Negro were to rape a white women he was most likely going to be sentenced to death.

∙ 12y agoBecause of the racial prejudice then, if a white girl claims a black man raped her, then it's definitely death penalty. This is the result of the unfairness in court.
