Why is it more likely that the Walter Lett case, rather than the Scottsboro Boys case, inspired the novel To Kill a Mockingbird? The Walter Lett case is an example of personal face-offs and small Southern institutions, which is similar to the case in the novel. Harper Lee was just a baby when the Scottsboro Boys case was in the headlines. Harper Lee's father defended Walter Lett in court, so it is clearly the inspiration for the novel. The Scottsboro Boys case captured national attention in the 1960s, after the book was already published.
