In **Harper Lee's "To Kill a Mockingbird,"** Atticus Finch attempts to convince the court that Tom Robinson did not commit the crime by demonstrating that Tom does not have the use of his left arm. This point is significant because Mayella Ewell, the alleged victim, sustained injuries on her right side, which would likely indicate that a left-handed person assaulted her. Atticus argues that Bob Ewell, who is left-handed, is more likely to be the perpetrator and that the evidence does not support the claim against Tom.
