So the evidence clearly showed that Tom Robinson was not capable of strangling or hitting Mayella on the right side of her face In Chapter 19 In the first paragraph it says; "As he raised his right hand, the useless one slipped off the Bible and hit the clerk's table." Tom was unable to use his right hand even if he could use his right hand he probably wouldn't have hit her with his right hand. I feel like Mayella lied on Tom because she didn't get what she wanted from Tom so she wanted him to get in trouble.
In my opinion I just feel like there could be no other possible person who could do this but Mayella's father Bob Ewell, and the fact that Tom Robinson Is black, they are most likely going to believe her. Atticus is doing the right thing by defending Tom because, Tom seems to be Innocent about the whole thing, and Mayella used Tom as a scapegoat to clear her fathers name probably because she is afraid of her father and does not want to get beat on by him even more for telling the truth about what happen. And plus as far as she was in this lie she probably would get into more trouble for lying about the whole thing and wasting every ones time just because she does not want to admit they she willingly tried to kiss Tom.
I couldn't agree with you more, I like the point you have
