Horace
Gilmer is the name of the solicitor or prosecuting attorney during the Tom Robinson
trial.mentions that Mr. Gilmer hails from Abbotsville, and he is portrayed as a callous,
prejudiced man who is primarily concerned with getting a conviction and winning the case. Mr.
Gilmer struggles with his disgruntled, ignorant witnesses, who make his job difficult. Despite
the fact that the prejudiced jury is on his side, Mayella and Bob Ewell continually contradict
their testimonies, andproves that he is a significantly better lawyer than Mr. Gilmer.
During the trial, Mr. Gilmer asks his clients relatively easy questions that he
believes they can answer but is perplexed by Atticus's moving arguments. When Tom Robinson takes
the stand, Mr. Gilmer shows his true colors by referring to Tom as "boy" and
continually talking down to him. Mr. Gilmer also emphasizes Tom's sympathy for Mayella and
relies strictly on the jury's prejudice to win the case. He is a rather unsavory
character...
