The chapter begins with the court room case, Mr Gilmer, the prosecutor who calls the sheriff to the stand. So they recover the story: Robert Ewell gets the sheriff, they both rush over to Mayella, see she's been beat up, and arrest Tom Robinson. End of that, Mr. Ewell comes up to the stand, after Atticus asks persistently why the sheriff didn't call a doctor, so they recover Robert's side of the story: hears screams, goes to the house, sees Tom Robinson on Mayella, Tom runs, Robert chases him but then goes back to the aid of his daughter. Atticus in return asked why no doctor? And even upsets Mr. Gilmer for asking Mr. Ewell if he can write. We discover Mr. Ewell and write with both hands but his domanite hand is left, and Mayella's body is bruised from the right side. This added up, Mr. Ewell could have done it just as easily, Tom couldn't have easily done it for his left hand is...injured from a series of unkindly events with a cotton gin. Mayella is called up next to the stand and her story doesn't add up in a few places. Atticus tries to dig up the truth from her tearing apart her story to see if she would slip even more. The next witness is called to the stands, the remaining witness: Tom Robinson.
