Dear Journal,
I am writing to you an behalf of Tom Robinson. I know he was innocent and i did everything in my power to win the case and free him from the law. The evidence was there but the jury failed to see past my defendants skin and look into the case and evidence. I think the jury understood the information and were scared. They were scared that they would be called a "nigger lover" just like Atticus was. They were scared of the mobs and crazy people that Atticus had to deal with. They by no means wanted to help out Tom Robinson even if it meant lying and saying he was guilty.
This town in Maycomb County needs to change their views of African Americans. If the rest of the County was like Dil, a child that seams to be less ignorant than the adults in Maycomb County. "I don't care one speck . It ain't right, somehow it ain't right to do 'em that way. Hasn't anybody got any business talkin' like that- it just makes me sick." If the County was like this there would be no incorrect accusations and no innocent man would be tried and found guilty for a crime that he did not do.
