I think that Tom had been in court before for getting in a fight did not help his case. Also, that he felt sorry for Miss Ewell didn't help. What did help was Atticus. He was a great lawyer. Tom also was very sincere.
#1 His testimony helps him because it shows that he couldn't have choked her with one strong hand, at least all the way around the neck. It hurts his case because they now know that he has been to jail before because of a fight. Also because they know that he was at the house and he could have hurt her in some way.
1. His testimony helped his case because he didn't have to stop and think about anything. His testimony hurts him because he had already gone to jail. He also is black and the jury was white. He didn't really have a fair trial.
1. Tom Robinson's hand helped his case because Mayella got hit on the side that Tom's bad hand was on. What hurt him was that he was black. He was also strong and the jury believed he was strong enough to beat Mayella up.

1. Tom Robinson’s testimony seems to prove he is a respectable Negro. Also, he doesn’t show any of the signs that usually prove someone to be lying. His responses to the questions asked of him were quiet, with no hint of whining in his voice. This helps his case a lot. Tom does admit though, that he was previously convicted of disorderly conduct and sentenced to thirty days in jail. “Mr. Gilmer would sincerely tell the jury that anyone who was convicted of disorderly conduct could easily have had it in his heart to take advantage of Mayella Ewell, that was the only reason he cared. Reasons like that helped.”
