Simply bringing a case based on coincidence and suspicious testimony illustrates the depth of the prejudice rooted in Maycomb. Had Tom been white, the case never would have reached a jury. Tom, therefore, must stand trial for no better reason than his skin simply radiates the wrong hue. Atticus states to the jury: “This is just as simple as black and White” (Smith 9). The corrupt white witnesses, Bob and Mayella Ewell, have greater power in court than the honest Tom Robinson. Yet, Tom’s life may end because of the racism running rampant through the all-white jury. 26 Partial Quote Format The case against Tom Robinson becomes the most racist action in the novel.

Tom, therefore, must stand trial for no better reason than his skin simply radiates the wrong hue. Atticus states to the jury: This case is as simple as black and white. The state has not produced one iota of medical evidence to the effect that the crime Tom Robinson is charged with ever took place. It has relied instead upon the testimony of two witnesses whose evidence has not only been called into serious question on crossexamination, but has been flatly contradicted by the defendant.
