He was "guilty" of pitying a white woman.

Yes, just as in the book.
The black man accused of raping a white woman in "To Kill a Mockingbird" is Tom Robinson.
Tom Robinson was found guilty in Chapter 21 of Harper Lee's novel "To Kill a Mockingbird".
In "To Kill a Mockingbird," the one member of the jury who delayed the verdict was one of the jurors who initially voted not guilty but later changed his vote to guilty. His hesitation and indecision were symbolic of the prejudice and injustice present in the case.
Tom Robinson was shot, and the Ewells walked free (even though they were guilty)!!
Horace Gilmer, prosecuting attorney. And you really should read the book. It is quite good, not that long, I think you might like it- and you might learn a thing or two.
Atticus defended Tom Robinson in To Kill a Mockingbird.
Tom Robinson wasn't ever guilty. He was accused of being guilty though because of his race. Edit: It was at the end of chapter 21.
In "To Kill a Mockingbird," there were no women on Tom Robinson's jury. The jury consisted of twelve white men.
If Tom Robinson is found guilty on appeal in "To Kill a Mockingbird," he will likely face the same punishment as before, which would be a prison sentence or possibly the death penalty. As an African American man accused of raping a white woman during a time of racial injustice and prejudice, his punishment reflects the systemic racism present in the legal system of Maycomb County.
"Acquit" is not a word that appears in "To Kill a Mockingbird" by Harper Lee. However, the theme of justice and racial inequality is prevalent throughout the novel.
