Mayella's testimony talked about Tom Robinson advancing her, after she had asked him to cut up an old chifferobe for a nickel. What is a chifferobe anyways, it is an combines a long space for hanging clothes with a chest of drawers. Since, Tom was strong, Mayella had asked him to chop the chifferobe up. Also, something that stood out to me in her testimony was, Mr. Tate helped Mayella up to her feet. She was laying on ground for the entire time while her father was getting the sheriff. Mayella was clearly injured, and she had to wait for the sheriff to show up. I find it stupid that she had to wait that long to be helped up from the floor
When was the chifferobe in Bob's testimony. All he said was that he was getting chopping would out in the woods, he never said anything about the chifferobe. This is a little weird, since that could be a big piece to mention, because that was the reason why he left for wood. Also, why didn't Bob help his daughter up? He decided to leave her on the ground for a while he went to get the sheriff. That doesn't make sense to me, why wouldn't you at least help her to a chair or something. Something in their testimonies that doesn't match up, and it is not making sense, maybe it is the start for something that Atticus can break down. I think that Atticus might be able to catch all of them in a lie!
