The next winter, Jem and Scout find more presents in the tree, supposedly left by Boo. Nathan Radley eventually fills the knothole with cement. Atticus agrees despite Maycomb's racist white community, to defend a black man named Tom Robinson, who has been accused of raping a white woman. Because of Atticus's decision, Jem and Scout are ejected from other children, even when they celebrate Christmas. Calpurnia, the Finches' black cook, takes them to the local black church, with the warm community. At the trial Atticus points out clear evidence that the accusers, Mayella Ewell and her father, Bob are lying. Proof marterial are the marks on Mayella's face from her fathers beating. Mayella also claimed in court that Tom was only needed to save his father from dishonour. Despite the remarkable evidence showing Tom's innocence, the all- white jury convicts him
