As juror number 12 in the Tom Robinson and Mayella Ewell case, I play a huge role because I have the last vote. Now I have had a feeling since Tom first entered the courtroom that he is an innocent man; and as Atticus took Mayella to the stand, it has become more obvious that Mayella is a big liar.
 * Firstly, the thing that hit me the most is when Mayella was called to the stand, she never looked Atticus straight in the eye. She had to make up a whole story because her dad beat her that night. Also, she seemed very anxious to have him help her with all the jobs that needed to be done, and her story keeps changing. In example, when asked she said that she turned around and Tom knocked her over. But when Atticus asked she states “He choked me.” It could not have been any more obvious to me that Mayella was lying the whole time when she was at the stand. **
 * Following that, when Tom Robinson was called to the stand, Atticus threw a glass to him, and he caught it only with his right hand. Then when asked to catch with his left hand, he couldn't because he got injured when he was 12 years old. If he could not lift his left arm, then how could he rape and choke somebody with one arm. I was one hundred percent sold that Mayella was lying and Tom was innocent. **
 * As we walked into the juror room, I knew in the end Tom would be guilty. We all had a conversation for two hours. About five of us wanted him to be not guilty, and about seven wanted him to be guilty. It broke my heart, but by the end of two hours, 8 were in favor of guilty. Only four of us felt pity for an innocent black man. **
