I looked behind me and saw that all the seats in the courtroom were filled. In the back of the courtroom stood some unlucky people who did not get a seat in time. The blacks sat up in the balcony, I recognized three small, white faces in the crowd up on the balcony. In the balcony, it was way hotter than it was downstairs, which was hard to believe. As the last couple people took their seats silence filled the room. This trial di than any other in Maycomb County. People from all around Maycomb were here. It seemed like everyone in town was there for it was very crowded. Sheriff Heck Tate spoke, “All rise the honorable Judge Taylor presiding”. A white-haired heavy old man trudged up to his bench and sternly said, “Everyone may be seated”. As Tom Robinson was lead to his seat in handcuffs he sat down wearily. His dark face was beaded with sweat for the heat was unbearable. Sitting next to him was Atticus Finch his attorney. I knew that Tom Robinson was innocent but I could not say anything or I would be scowled at just like Atticus. Heck Tate was the first witness to speak. We all believed his testimony about what happened. But nobody wanted
