During the court room today Tom was beginning to be prosecuted. It was all very basic questions and answers until he was asked about the trip. He said that he took the same road every day and helped Mayella whenever he got the chance. Which made Link Deas, Toms employer, shout about him not misbehaving after 8 years of work. Judge Taylor quickly expelled him.
After that Mr.Gilmer started to examine Tom. He points out Tom was arrested before for disorderly conduct. He also got Tom to admit that even with on good hand he has the strength to throw a girl on the ground and choke her. After Mr.Gilmer was done with the initial questions he asked Tom why he was helping Mayella and if he expected any favors from her. Tom replied that he felt sorry for her and that left most of the people in the courtroom in shock.
