The jury may have clues that Mayella is not telling the truth based on inconsistencies in her testimony, contradictions with other witness accounts, and her demeanor or body language while testifying. Additionally, any evidence that does not align with her version of events could also raise doubts about her credibility.
What else can I help you with?
Who yelled at the jury and Atticus?
Bob Ewell or Mayella
Why does Atticus want the jury to have a picture of mayella's life?
Atticus wanted the jury to have a picture of Mayella's life because he was trying to get everyone to see that she has to do all the chores, and she like the "outcast" of the family. He was also trying to show that Bob Ewell gets mad and drunk a lot at Mayella. And that is how she gets beat, and raped.
Atticus is able to get the jury to think about mayellas motivation for lying?
Atticus highlights Mayella Ewell's difficult life and suggests she may have accused Tom Robinson out of fear of her father rather than the truth. By shifting the focus to Mayella's possible motivations, Atticus encourages the jury to consider the broader context of her actions and question her credibility. This approach challenges the jury to think critically about the case and encourages them to look beyond surface appearances.
What does Tom Robinson do that makes the jury and spectators angry?
He said that he felt sorry for Mayella Ewell.
What does Atticus prove by having Bob Ewell write his name on the envelope?
Atticus proves that Bob Ewell is left handed. Since most of Mayella Ewell's injuries were sustained on the right side of her face, then she was most likely beaten by a left handed person. Tom Robinson couldn't use his left hand because of an accident when he was younger, therefore, he couldn't have beaten Mayella.
Is truth certain?
Truth is never certain, even given the strongest of evidence in support of any theory or fact, there will almost always be at least one person that denies those facts or sees them as skewed. When speaking to a jury it is often found that telling them "no witness here has lied today, they all see things differently. If you the jury want to seek the truth, then look to what is the same between all the testimony, ignore what each sees as the truth from that vantage point that is different."
Why did mayella become angry with atticus when he questioned her?
When Mayella is on the stand the question Atticus asks that makes her furious is "How?" She has just described how Tom Robinson choked and beat her, and Atticus asks Tom to stand up. This draws the jury's attention to the fact that Tom's left arm is useless, making it highly unlikely he was Mayella's attacker. When Tom stands, Atticus asks Mayella if Tom is the man who attacked. When she responds that he is, Atticus asks, "How?"
In order to testify before a grand jury a defendant must do what?
be sworn in and promise to tell the truth the whole truth and nothin but the TRUTH!!!!!!!!
How does Mayella try to win the court's sympathy when she is called to the stand?
Mayella tries to win the court's sympathy by crying, being emotional, and emphasizing the impact of the alleged assault on her. She portrays herself as a victim in need of protection and relies on her tears and vulnerable demeanor to sway the jury.

Why does jem believe that the jury will find tom Robinson innocent?
Jem is confident that the jury will not convict Tom Robinson because Atticus made such an appealing case. Atticus made it look as though Bob Ewell had raped his daughter not Tom Robinson because Mayella was hit mostly on the right side of her face, this means that a left-handed person would be more likely to have hit Mayella. Tom Robinson could not have hurt Mayella because his left-hand is crippled (hurt). Bob Ewell is left-handed proved to us by Atticus when Atticus made Bob sign his name, this means that Bob Ewell is more likely to be have hurt Mayella. This shows that Jem was confident that the jury will not convict Tom Robinson because he was an innocent man and Atticus made an appealing case for Tom.
