Court Artist: Diagram of Injuries and Physicians Report

“Well, she was beaten around the head. There was already bruises comin’ on her arms, and it happened about thirty minutes before-” (page 191). From that quote, we can infer that Mayella must have been beaten quite hard because otherwise, the bruises would not have showed up so quickly. Unless she had thin skin, primarily an issue in elderly woman because of aging . “It was her right eye, Mr. Finch. I remember now, she was bunged up on that side of her face…” (page 192). The person who hit her was most likely left-handed because people tend to strike with their dominant hand. Mayella had bruises on her arms, and finger marks around her neck. This could be caused by many things, but it was most likely caused someone trying to strangle her, most likely using both of their hands.
