Judge John Taylor is a white-haired old man, and a character from the 1960/1962 novel/film To Kill A Mockingbird. He was the judge who asked Atticus Finch to take the case that involved defending Tom Robinson , a black man accused of abusing Mayella Ewell porn  .

In the story

Taylor is known for running his court in a very casual and informal fashion, in contrast to usual judges. He has almost no views on anything, except for his deep respect of Atticus and great distaste of the Ewells, especially Bob Ewell . He heavily agrees with Atticus' arguments, but, to his sadness, cannot pardon Tom because the ignorant and prejudiced jury declared Tom guilty. It was alleged that after the trial, Bob Ewell attempted to break into John's house while his wife was at church.

Personal life

Taylor enjoys singing and dipping. He is also a very informal person and one of the few non-prejudiced Caucasian people in the novel, along with Atticus Finch, the novel's main protagonist.
