Tom Robinson was innocent in the whole case, even though he was "proven" guilty. Even though he was killed because he was trying to escape jail, he shouldn't have even been in there in a first place. He was as innocent as can be, and nobody would realize the truth. Also, when Scout and Jem are attacked when walking home, Boo is the true one that killed Bob Ewell (not Jem). The whole conversation with Heck Tate and Atticus ends up in a solution to just say Bob fell on the knife. After seeing how Boo has been helping out Jem and Scout over the years, they realized that Boo is actually a very kind-hearted person. Therefore, it would be a sin to say that Boo killed him (it would result in Boo getting killed himself), because Boo was just protecting the kids. Hope this helps. This really is an amazing book :)
The pageant was after Tom Robinson's death.

Bob Ewell attacked Jem and Scout after the pageant to get back at Atticus for being so effective for Tom Robinson in Court.

Mrs Merriweather organises the pageant as when Scout misses her cue during the event Mrs Merriweather makes a great fuss about "ruining her pageant." and so forth.

Although the town is the sponsor for the Halloween pageant in Scout's school, Mrs. Merritweather is actually the writer of the pageant.
In "To Kill a Mockingbird," the weather on Halloween night is described as warm and clear, with a gentle breeze. The moon is full, casting a soft light over the town as Scout and Jem walk home from the Halloween pageant.
In "To Kill a Mockingbird," Scout dresses as a ham for the school pageant. Her costume was made by her aunt, Miss Maudie, and it causes some confusion during the pageant performance.
