And Tom's left hand is mutilated from a cotton picking accident. Atticus had Mr. Bob Ewell sign his name and he signed it with his left hand. So, Mr. Bob Ewell had to of done it.

What is circumstantial evidence what has it got to do with tom's conviction?

"Circumstantial evidence" is indirect evidence. It relates to a series of facts other than the particular fact to be proved. Tom was proven guilty due to two eye-witnesses with very little credibility; however it can still be counted as direct evidence. There is much circumstantial evidence for Tom Robinson, such as the fact that his left arm is useless and that, through deduction, we can conclude that Mayella Ewell was beaten by a left-handed person.
