Mayella's testimony adds background to the case. It shows us a look at what it was like to live as an Ewell and how her life was living with a drunk, violent father. It also adds suspicion that the father may have actually been the one to beat her up and that she had never really been raped at all.

Mayella's testimony is inconsistent with the evidence provided by other witnesses. She contradicts herself multiple times and her accusations towards Tom Robinson lack credibility. Additionally, her demeanor during the trial raises suspicions about her motives and truthfulness.
Tom Robinson said he passed by Mayella Ewell's house every day on his way to work, but Mayella testified that this wasn't the case and that he only came inside the fence on the day of the alleged assault.
At the end of Mayella's testimony, we learn the dramatic fact that Tom Robinson, the defendant, is left-handed. This fact becomes significant later on in the trial as it contradicts the way Mayella claimed she was attacked and provides crucial evidence for the defense.
