Although Mr. Finch's dedication in "To Kill a Mockingbird", even though it turned out against his favor due to a lack of evidence and of a debauched trial. This court hearing makes readers question whether or not the justice system of that era was fair and, in retrospect, a good question is whether our current justice system is fair and legal. If you think a false conviction was unfair, Tom will ultimately be killed for his false conviction under a flawed justice system. To me, the sense of justice and fairness seems to be completely violated and bigoted. Most people will agree that Lee's book is much more complex than literary critics might have suggested. The first question I asked was: Did Tom Robinson receive a fair trial and would having an all-black jury have resulted in a different verdict? In my opinion, I believe that Tom Robinson received an unfair trial. I believe that the color of Tom Robinson's skin was the determining factor in whether Mr. Robinson was guilty or innocent. What happened was that a group of white men who were on the jury had decided Mr. Robinson's case before they even entered the courtroom. In To Kill a Mockingbird, justice is a privilege, not a right. If you wanted a fair trial in the era of To Kill a Mockingbird, you better make sure you're white. What if the jury was made up exclusively of blacks? I think Tom Robinson's verdict and outcome would be radically different. I think Mayella and Bob Ewell would have been convicted and incarcerated rather than Mr. Robinson. This then begs the question of how many false convictions have been handed down like this incident and how many African Americans have benefited from an unfair trial, just like poor Mr. Robinson. (Notes) The second question is ...... middle of paper ...... a man or a bird itself, because killing a mockingbird is the gravest sin of all.
