Point of View Trial

I am a black citizen of Maycomb county and I am here watching the court case of Tom Robinson.When Judge Taylor stated "Tell me what you know, everything that you know. You can do that right." I thought that he trying to say that Tom Robinson is to stupid to know what happened. He knew and he said everything the way it happened. 

Even though their are a lot of people a against Tom Robinson, I believe that he did not do it. His lawyer, Atticus Finch, is very good and he has stated many things that will not work with the lady's story. If Atticus keeps this up, he may have a chance of winning this.

TKAM, The beginning of the Trial

If I was asked from my friend to take part in a trial to stand up for a person who was charged for stealing the PHHS scholarship fund. I would definitely take this offer because my friend asked me, and it sounded like a interesting case. Even though the student had the money in his bank account, it doesn't mean that it was from the school's scholarship fund. 
For a defense I would say that this person has never committed a crime for something or was accused of doing the crime. All of his coworkers had to say the only nicest things about him. In To Kill a Mockingbird, the person was also accused of making the crime and there are some factual information about him. He knows that he is right, but the jury is all white and they do not really like black men.
