Mr. Tate insists the report be written to say Bob Ewell fell on his own knife. Atticus suspects Boo Radley killed him and wishes to tell the truth. Eventually, Atticus relents. He speaks to Scout about it. He does not think she will understand, but she does.
Scout tells her father that she agrees with Mr. Tate. She does not think Boo Radley should take the blame. After all, he was only trying to save her and Jem. She does not think it would be fair to Boo. He is different from other people. She asks her father "it'd be sort of like shootin' a mockingbird, wouldn't it?" (Chapter 30)
Scout thinks reporting Boo for killing Bob Ewell is unfair because he was only trying to help. He is an innocent being in her eyes.
