Tom Robinson was found to be left-handed during the trial in "To Kill a Mockingbird." This fact was crucial because it contradicted the prosecution's version of events, showing that Tom couldn't have been the one to cause the injuries to Mayella Ewell.
Atticus brings out in the trail the fact that Bob Ewell is left handed. The right side of his daughters face is beat up so if Tom is right handed it would be hard to hit her hard on her right. Therefore proving Bob beat his daughter not Tom.
The conflict between Bob Ewell and Atticus in "To Kill a Mockingbird" mainly stems from Ewell's resentment towards Atticus for defending Tom Robinson in court. Ewell feels humiliated by the trial's outcome and takes his anger out on Atticus and his family. Atticus remains calm and tries to defuse the situation through his unwavering sense of justice and integrity.
Think about it this way...You're facing someone, and you're about to punch them in the face. You're left handed, which means you're going to throw the punch with your left hand. Since the other person is mirroring you, they will be hit on the right side of your face, since you hit with your left hand.
No, in "To Kill a Mockingbird", Boo Radley was not blamed for Bob Ewell's murder. Atticus Finch and Sheriff Tate decide to cover up the fact that Boo was the one who killed Bob Ewell in self-defense, choosing to protect Boo from the attention and scrutiny of the public.
The fact is that Mayella's injuries were mainly on the right side of her face, meaning whoever beat her was left handed (basing there hits with there left hand) Mayella's father is left handed, but Tom Robinson could barely use his left hand, making Atticus prove that it was Bob (but hey, you know the ending)
Tom Robinson is right handed and crippled in the left arm. Atticus said so during the trial and when Tom Robinson took the oath he couldn't keep his crippled arm over the bible. This is evidence that Tom Robinson didn't punch Mayella in the face because she got a black eye on the opposite side of her face, meaning Tom Robinson would've had to use his left hand.
He wants the jury to see that if it was her right eye, naturally a left handed person would attack her, leading to the fact that Tom Robinson's left arm is useless and Mr. Ewell is left handed.Atticus makes him remember in which eye it was. Atticus make the sheriff doubt about his response. Was it on the right eye or on your right side. At the end the sheriff confessed that it was on her right eye, indicating she was hit by a left handed man. Tom Robinson couldn't have done this because he only had one good arm, his left.
To get back at Atticus for saying that he was lying when in fact, Mr. Ewell was lying about that whole incident with Tom Robinson. Even though all the evidence in the trial was pointing to the fact that Mr. Ewell was lying, Tom Robinson was still convicted because of how the judges in the courts always voted for the white people. At the end of the trial, Mr. Ewell told Atticus that he would never forgive him for embarrasing him in court and trying to kill Jem was the only way that he could've possibly gotten back at Jem (or so he thought)
his house was broken into by bob Ewell. when Mrs. Ewell returned, she saw a shotgun in his hand Jude Taylor's wife was NOT Mrs.Ewell. It was in fact Mrs.Taylor that returned to see the gun in his lap.
