What is Tom Robinson's sentence after his trial?

Robinson's sentence is, briefly, death.

When the jury files back into the courtroom, Scout says she notices something that “only a lawyer’s child” would notice, that when the jury convicts someone, they will never look at the defendant; that was the case with this jury and Tom Robinson. The judge polls the jury to be sure that the “guilty” verdict is unanimous. At that point, the sentence is not indicated. The next morning at home, when Atticus speaks with the children, he tells them that there will be an appeal.

In the next few days, they learn from their father that Robinson has been incarcerated on a prison farm 70 miles away. He tells them that in Alabama, rape is a capital offense. This means that his sentence was already set: he will be killed in the electric chair. The only other possibilities are through appeal, in which a higher court will review the case and possibly free him or grant a new trial, or if the governor were to commute the sentence.

What is Tom Robinson's sentence after his trial?

At the end of chapter 21, Tom Robinson becomes a victim of racial injustice after he is found guilty and convicted of assaulting and raping Mayella Ewell. In chapter 23, Atticus discusses the outcome of the trial with his son, who argues that the jury did not have to give Tom Robinson the death penalty. Atticus then assures his children that nothing will happen to Tom Robinson until a higher court reviews his case. Atticus also mentions that he believes Tom Robinson has a good chance of winning his appeal and going free.

For the time being, Tom Robinson is imprisoned at the Enfield Prison Farm, which is seventy miles away in Chester County. When Jem asks what will happen if Tom loses his appeal, Atticus tells him that Tom will go to the electric chair, where he will be executed. Tragically, Tom Robinson attempts to escape from the Enfield Prison Farm and is shot dead by the prison guards.

How long was Tom Robinson is prison for after he was found guilty?

At the end of chapter 14, Scout finds Dill hiding under her bed after running away from his home. Dill happens to run away at the end of his school year, which, as stated in one of the first chapters, is about a week before Maycomb gets out of school. So, if Dill runs away in chapter 14, it's probably after his school lets out and before his mother can send him away for the summer. Then, at the beginning of chapter 15, Scout mentions that she and Dill had about a week of fun before the trial started and the craziness in Maycomb changed their world forever. It would seem, then, that the trial and later imprisonment of Tom Robinson started at the beginning or middle of June. It isn't until chapter 24, though, that word of Robinson's death is revealed, and as stated in the previous answer, Scout sets the scene in late August. Therefore, Robinson could have been in prison after the trial for up to 2–3 months, assuming that the trial is in June and that he dies at the end of August.

How long was Tom Robinson is prison for after he was found guilty?

We are not told exactly how long Tom is in prison after the trial. We know that he is sent to Enfield Prison Farm, which is described as about seventy miles away from Maycomb, and his family is not allowed to visit him there. We know that the trial takes place during the summer—this is obvious from references to "summer flowers," the heat, and the fact that the children are out of school while the trial is going on. Scout remembers that "August was on the brink of September" at the beginning of chapter 24, when it is revealed that Tom was killed trying to escape from the prison. So it must have been a month or so at the most between the trial and Tom's death. He was killed while Atticus was still trying to determine the best course of action for his appeal. Apparently his trial convinced Tom that his best chance of freedom lay not in the courts but in fleeing. 

What was the jury's verdict in the Tom Robinson case?

The jury deliberates for some time about Tom Robinson's case.  Tom is a black man who has been accused of raping a white woman.  Most of the evidence had made it clear that Tom was physically incapable of committing the crime he was accused of.  Jem has high hopes that the jury will find Tom Robinson innocent.  While Jem is confident, Atticus is realistic.  He knows that a black man accused of harming a white woman has very little chance of being declared innocent.

The jury emerges from their deliberations.  From her spot with Jem up on the balcony, Scout can see them.  She observes what happens next:

A jury never looks at a defendant it has convicted, and when this jury came in, not one of them looked at Tom Robinson.  The foreman handed a piece of paper to Mr. Tate who handed it to the clerk who handed it to the judge…

I shut my eyes.  Judge Taylor was polling the jury: "Guilty… guilty… guilty… guilty…" I peeked at Jem: his hands were white from gripping the balcony rail, and his shoulders jerked as if each "guilty" was a separate stab between them (To Kill a Mockingbird, Chapter 21).

Both Scout and Jem are upset by this news.  Jem is so upset that he cries and questions all sense of justice in society.  He cannot believe that the jury would find Tom guilty.  

In To Kill a Mockingbird, what is the verdict in the Tom Robinson case?

Tom Robinson is a poor, crippled husband and father who gets caught in the clutches of a lonely white nineteen year-old's game and pays for it with his life. In a 1935 Alabama town, there's no justice for a black man, especially if his word is up against that of white folks. Atticus Finch works up the best defense any man could have asked for, but it isn't enough to change the minds of the twelve white men on the jury. There were just too many long-standing traditions at stake for them to acquit Tom for his alleged crime. Scout describes the announcement of the verdict as follows:

"A jury never looks at a defendant it has convicted, and when this jury came in, not one of them looked at Tom Robinson. The foreman handed a piece of paper to Mr. Tate who handed it to the clerk who handed it to the judge. . . 'Guilty. . . guilty. . . guilty.' I peeked at Jem: his hands were white from gripping the balcony rail, and his shoulders jerked as if each 'guilty' was a separate stab between them" (211).

Later, in chapter 23, Atticus and Jem are discussing the punishment for someone being found guilty of rape in the state of Alabama. Jem says that it isn't fair that he is considered guilty because Tom didn't take anyone's life. Atticus reminds Jem that the code of Alabama states that rape is a capital offense--punishable by death. Jem innocently says, "...the jury didn't have to give him death--if they wanted to they could've gave him twenty years" (219).

Clearly, Jem doesn't understand that it isn't the jury that sentences a convict, the judge declares it. Even so, Tom was convicted on rape charges and sentenced to death. Atticus wanted to push for an appeal, but Tom lost faith in his chances and tried to escape prison. As a result, he get shot while attempting to climb over a tall fence.

What is the verdict in Tom Robinson's trial?

In Harper Lee's classic novel To Kill a Mockingbird, Atticus Finch accepts the difficult task of defending an innocent black man named Tom Robinson in front of a racist white jury in Maycomb, Alabama. Tom Robinson is charged with assaulting and raping a white woman named Mayella Ewell. On the evening of November 21st, Mayella testifies that she asked Tom Robinson to help bust up an old chiffarobe and that he proceeded to follow her into the house, where he choked, beat, and raped her. During Atticus's cross-examination, Mayella contradicts her testimony, and it becomes obvious that she is fabricating her story.

When Tom takes the witness stand, he testifies that Mayella forcibly kissed him and that her racist father witnessed her actions. Tom says he immediately sprinted out of the house and could overhear Bob Ewell cursing at Mayella. Tom's testimony and the specific location of Mayella's injuries suggest that Bob Ewell was the perpetrator of the assault. During the proceedings, Atticus makes a valiant argument which proves Tom's innocence. Despite Atticus's efforts, the racist jury finds Tom Robinson guilty of assaulting and raping Mayella Ewell, which is a capital offense. Jem, Scout, and Dill all lose their childhood innocence after witnessing racial injustice for the first time, but Atticus believes that Tom Robinson can win his appeal. Tragically, Tom Robinson attempts to escape from the Enfield Prison Farm and is shot to death by the prison guards before the appeal process can begin.
