From the Paper:

"The main reason why had hidden from Scout and Jem was the fact that I had gotten into trouble with law some years earlier, and was imprisoned in the house by my father. However, my father and I did not get along. We constantly fought and he abused me on many levels. When it was too much to handle anymore, we had gotten into a fight. I was desperate, and didn't know what to do. When father lunged at me, I grabbed a pair of scissors and stabbed him. Although the stabbing was accidental, I had still killed my father and was considered criminally insane by many of the townspeople. Fortunately, my grandfather had legally intervened on my behalf, suggesting that I had acted in self-defense; and that my father had been aggressive toward me."
