Atticus depicts one amazing statement to the court which proves that Tom Robinson is innocent and that all men are the same. Atticus proves to the court that the way that racial inequality has taken over the minds of all men and women in the year 1935 has played a major role in the court case. Atticus says that black men do make mistakes but he also say that “This is a truth that applies to the human race and to no particular race of men. There is not a person in this courtroom who has never told a lie, who has never done an immoral thing, and there is no man living who has never looked upon a woman without desire.”
