When injustice strikes, the innocent person it affects will always suffer. Tom Robinson, the most obvious of characters that suffered injustice, receives my deepest sympathy because he was a victim of physical injustice who suffered the worst con ...

... and helper applications. The bad news is there are some glaring copy editing errors throughout the text- such as on page 3--the first page of Chapter 1.
