There were woman at the trial. Mayella Ewell was there; and a majority of the women thought he was guilty.
Tom's statement was that he felt bad for Mayella, who was white woman. The jury could not understand and were angry that a black man would ever feel bad for a white person this seems like the thing that really pushed the jury over the edge, but either way they filed and delivered a guilty verdict.
Tom Robinson's trial in the novel "To Kill a Mockingbird" lasted approximately one day. The trial is a pivotal event where Atticus defends Tom Robinson, a black man falsely accused of raping a white woman, in front of a prejudiced jury in the 1930s American South.
In "To Kill a Mockingbird," there were no women on Tom Robinson's jury. The jury consisted of twelve white men.
NONE Yes there were! It's just that the number of women was irrelevent and insignificant to the events that were taking place, so it wasn't counted! ~Atticus specifically said there were no woman allowed in the jury. So the answer is NONE.
The Jury found Tom guilty only on the basis of his color. Atticus had proven to everyone in the court that Tom was innocent, however because of the racism of the time the Jury would not let a black man go free against a white woman's word.
