According to the sheriff's testimony, Mayella's bruises were on the right side of her face, which means she was most likely punched with a left hand.

Atticus explains how there is no medical evidence to convict Tom Robinson of raping and beating Mayella Ewell at the beginning of his closing remarks. He points out Mayella and Bob's conflicting testimonies and elaborates on why Mayella accused Tom Robinson of raping her.
