"one persons wrong doing can release evil into the entire community "what are some quotes in the book to spport the theme

" Mr. Cunningham's basically a good man.....he just has his blind spots along with the rest of us......you'll understand folks better when you're older. A mob's always made up of people, no matter what. Mr. Cunningham was part of a mob last night, but he was still a man."

"Those are twelve reasonable men in everyday life, Tom's jury, but you saw something come between them and reason. You saw the same thing that night in front of the jail......There's something in our world that makes men lose their heads...they couldn't be fair if they tried. In our courts, when it's a white man's word against a black man's, the white man always wins. They're ugly, but those are the facts of life."
