    The second witness in the court scene was Bob Ewell. It was his testemony that proved he was left handed and proved Tom Robinson innocent because Tom's left hand was mangled and crippled.

    Atticus Finch purposely called Bob Ewell to the stand because he wanted to show before the entire court that he signed his name with his left hand.
