In the trial the judge could do no other but let Tom Robinson be innocent because what he had heard that day was nothing but the truth because Bob Ewell had beaten and raped his daughter Mayella. Bob was so furious that he jumped up out of his seat and ran towards Tom but guards protected Tom from Bob. Bob would be sentenced to 12 years in prison. People were furious and protesting the decision of the judge for several hours after the decision.
The next few days were horrible some angry white drunk men were in a bar with the judge and they ended up chasing the judge out of the bar and killing him. The next day Atticus told Tom about it and this scared Tom. Tom didn't know what to do. Atticus told Tom to leave town because he wasn't safe here. Tom and Atticus were both lost for words, but they both knew Tom needed to leave before something bad happened.
The next morning around 4:30 A.M. Atticus took Tom out of town so he could live safely and peacefully for the rest of his life. Tom got his few things together and they took of for Charleston together. Tom and Atticus exchanged some words when they got to Charleston and then Tom thanked Atticus for everything he had done and then they said goodbye.
