British troops were put on trial. John Adams was their lawyer. They were found not guilty.
He was one of the soldiers at the Boston Massacre. At the trial, he was convicted of manslaughter and branded on the thumb.
John Adams believed that the rule of law should be paramount and that the British soldiers involved in the Boston Massacre deserved a fair trial. Adams successfully defended Captain Preston.
The Boston Massacre was in the Massachusettes colony. (Boston, Massachusettes)
Opinions on whether the defendants received a fair trial in the Boston Massacre vary. Some argue that the trial was fair because the defense was able to present evidence and witnesses, and the jury acquitted two of the defendants. Others believe the trial was biased, as it took place during a period of intense anti-British sentiment, and the defense attorneys faced hostility from the public and the jury.
