"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.

How many years can you serve for attempted murder when it wasnt your fault?

You serve in prison for attempted murder however many years the judge says you will serve. If it was not your fault, you had a lousy lawyer. There is such a thing as post conviction relief. If you just got sent to prison you can start looking into it. If your lawyer refused to discuss your case before your trial, you should write to the judge and tell him that. Otherwise, you may need to wait and see if new evidence appears. Post conviction relief is civil, not criminal. The standard of reasonable doubt no longer exists, you will have to present more evidence that you are innocent than the prosecution has presented that you are guilty. That done, you must behave yourself so they believe they made a mistake.
