In to kill a mockingbird was Tom Robinson's testimony believable?

To Kill A Mockingbird is the perfect book. Every word is beautifuly crafted, there is no waste or fill, everything is there for for a reason, each person is a living breathing human with flaws, the bad and the good people and it gives each a chance of redemption. Is Scout believable as the narrator? Yes, because Scout is not telling a complicated story. Yes the book is complcated, it makes you think about the wrong we do, evil, love, Law is not always right, right is not always easy, love, hate. Mockingbird is a complcated book, but the story Scout is telling is not. Read the first page, the first two paragraphs and you will understand. Scout is only telling you the story of how her brother Jem broke his arm. Well, Scout is telling the story years in advance and trying to tell it from her perspective as a 5-8 year old, so in that sense, one could view the narrator as an unreliable one--possibly misremembering events or filling in information that she may no longer have or may have to account for.
