**STORY 1** 📍 Maycomb County Courthouse
[Photo: Wide shot of a packed Southern courthouse, summer heat visible in the haze, wooden fans waving everywhere]
@ScoutFinch_Maycomb: **Day of the Trial ⚖️**
Y'ALL. The courthouse is PACKED. Like, fire hazard packed. Had to sneak in with Jem and Dill through the back because apparently children aren't supposed to watch their dad be a total legend??
Reverend Sykes got us seats in the colored balcony and honestly the view is ELITE up here. Can see everything. Including Mayella Ewell looking like she'd rather be literally anywhere else.

**STORY 2** 🎤
[Video: Shaky footage of Atticus standing up, adjusting his glasses]
@ScoutFinch_Maycomb: **Atticus just stood up and the whole room went SILENT**
Dad energy: 📈📈📈
He's doing that thing where he takes off his glasses really slow. You KNOW it's about to be good when he does that.
Bob Ewell is sweating. AS HE SHOULD.

**STORY 3** 💀
[Photo: Close-up recreation of Bob Ewell on the witness stand, looking rough]
@ScoutFinch_Maycomb: **POV: You're Bob Ewell and you just realized Atticus Finch is about to expose you**
This man really said he's "too poor" to get a doctor after his daughter was allegedly attacked. Sir, you're too poor to take a BATH, let's start there.
Also he's left-handed??? WHICH IS INTERESTING BECAUSE...

**STORY 4** 🧠
[Graphic: Red circle around "LEFT-HANDED" with arrows pointing to it]
@ScoutFinch_Maycomb: **OKAY SO HERE'S THE TEA ☕**
Mayella's bruises were on the RIGHT side of her face.
Bob Ewell is LEFT-HANDED.
Tom Robinson's LEFT ARM IS LITERALLY UNUSABLE because of an accident when he was young.
MATH. AIN'T. MATHING.
Atticus really said "I'm about to end this man's whole career" without even raising his voice. That's powerful.

**STORY 5** 😭
[Photo: Tom Robinson on the witness stand, looking dignified but scared]
@ScoutFinch_Maycomb: **Tom Robinson just testified and I'm NOT okay**
He literally was just being NICE. Helped Mayella with chores because he FELT SORRY FOR HER. And the whole white side of the courtroom GASPED like he said something wrong??
Feeling sorry for someone is being a good person??? What is wrong with y'all???
This town has ISSUES and I'm only 9 but I can see it.

**STORY 6** 🔥
[Video: Quick pan of Atticus doing his closing argument, courthouse completely silent]
@ScoutFinch_Maycomb: **ATTICUS CLOSING ARGUMENT THREAD INCOMING**
"The witnesses have presented themselves before you gentlemen... confident that you would go along with the assumption - the EVIL assumption - that all Negroes lie, that all Negroes are basically immoral beings."
DAD IS GOING OFF. Like actually yelling. I've never seen him yell. This is UNPRECEDENTED.

**STORY 7** 🎤🔥
[Photo: Artistic recreation of Atticus, jacket off, suspenders visible, pointing at the jury]
@ScoutFinch_Maycomb: **"In this country, our courts are the great levelers"**
He really just said all men are created equal and it's not true in everyday life BUT it should be true in court.
I'm literally crying. Jem is crying. Dill already left because he was crying too hard.
This man said JUSTICE with his whole CHEST.

**STORY 8** ⏰
[Photo: Empty courtroom at night, single light bulb, shadows everywhere]
@ScoutFinch_Maycomb: **It's been HOURS. Jury still deliberating.**
Reverend Sykes said this is actually a good sign? Like usually they come back fast when it's... you know.
Cal made us sandwiches. Even in crisis, that woman feeds us.
My legs are asleep. My heart is in my throat. What is TAKING so long??

**STORY 9** 💔
[Black screen with white text: "Guilty."]
@ScoutFinch_Maycomb: **They found him guilty.**
I don't understand.
Atticus proved everything. EVERYTHING. The evidence was right there. Tom couldn't have done it. Everyone KNOWS he couldn't have done it.
And they still...

**STORY 10** 😢
[Video: Shaky footage of the colored balcony, everyone standing up]
@ScoutFinch_Maycomb: **Wait... everyone's standing up around me**
Reverend Sykes just grabbed my arm and said "Miss Jean Louise, stand up. Your father's passing."
The whole balcony. Everyone. Standing. For my dad.
He lost the case but they're standing like he won something.
Maybe he did. Maybe the winning isn't about the verdict.

**STORY 11** 🌙
[Photo: Dark street in Maycomb, single streetlight, small figure walking]
@ScoutFinch_Maycomb: **Walking home with Jem. Neither of us are talking.**
I asked Jem how they could do that. How a jury could look at the truth and still choose a lie.
He said he doesn't know. That he thought people were basically good.
I think he's growing up tonight. I think maybe I am too.
Atticus is still at the courthouse. He's gonna keep fighting the appeal.

**STORY 12** 💪
[Photo: Porch of the Finch house at dawn, rocking chair, coffee cup]
@ScoutFinch_Maycomb: **Morning after. Atticus on the porch like he didn't just change my whole worldview last night.**
He said "They've done it before and they did it tonight and they'll do it again and when they do it - seems like only children weep."
BUT THEN he said things are changing. Slowly. Like it took the jury HOURS instead of minutes. That's... something?

**STORY 13** 🍳
[Photo: Kitchen full of food - fried chicken, collard greens, pie]
@ScoutFinch_Maycomb: **UPDATE: The Black community literally sent us SO MUCH FOOD this morning**
Chicken. Greens. PIE. Multiple pies. Cal is crying.
Atticus went to Tom's family. The rest of us just... eating and crying.
This town is broken but also some parts of it are really, really beautiful.

**STORY 14** 📝
[Text post with decorative background]
@ScoutFinch_Maycomb: **Things I learned from this trial:**
1. Courage isn't winning. It's fighting when you know you'll lose.
2. Some people would rather believe a lie than accept the truth
3. Standing up matters even if it doesn't change the verdict
4. My dad is the best man in this town and maybe the whole world
5. Mockingbirds don't do anything but make music. You shouldn't kill them. (Atticus told us this once and I finally get it now)

**STORY 15** 🌅
[Photo: Scout sitting on her porch steps, looking at the sunset, Maycomb in the distance]
@ScoutFinch_Maycomb: **Final thoughts on the worst and best day of my life:**
Jem says he might want to be a lawyer like Atticus. I think I might just want to be a person like Atticus. Someone who does the right thing even when the whole town is against them.
Maycomb is small and mean sometimes. But it's also where people stand up in the balcony. Where neighbors bring food when you're hurting. Where one good man can make everyone see their reflection, even if they don't like what they see.
Tom Robinson deserved better. This whole town knows it.
Maybe knowing is the first step. Atticus says real change takes generations. I'm nine. I got time.
