Does Link Deas write an editorial berating the town for death?

You're likely thinking of Atticus Finch, not Link Deas, who writes the editorial condemning the town for the death of Tom Robinson in Harper Lee's "To Kill a Mockingbird."

Here's why:

* Link Deas is a friend of Tom Robinson and his family. He is a kind and just man who stands up for what he believes in. However, he is not a writer and doesn't express his opinions through editorials.

* Atticus Finch, as a lawyer and respected member of the community, is the one who writes the editorial. He does so out of grief and anger over Tom Robinson's wrongful death, calling out the town's hypocrisy and prejudice.
