You are asking about the Boston Massacre, but the event was propaganda for the colonists who were wanting to show a cause for leaving the British crown.

Other events between colonists and troops happened in other places, but you don’t read about them. One reason is that Boston was the center of anti British activists.

The prosecution of the British soldiers who shot into the crowd of colonists was headed by Samuel Quincy The defense of the British soldiers was headed by John Adams. In a criminal court in the United States the prosecution represents "the people". However, this trial occurred in 1770. Massachusetts was a colony of England during this trial. The prosecution of an English court represents "The Crown". So technically no one represented the colonists at the Boston Massacre trial.
