Later she becomes worried about what other people will think and accuses the black man of rape. He then undergoes a sham trial and is found guilty and punished. The big difference is that in To Kill A Mockingbird, they at least pretended to have due process giving the accused a lawyer and allowing him to confront his accuser.
