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.
Samuel Adams did not defend the British soldiers after the Boston Massacre. John Adams defended them. Sam really disliked them and went against them. John (a cousin of Sam) didn't really like them either but he did defend the British soldiers in trial for the Boston Massacre
I think because they believed strongly in the concept of a fair trial. Adams' diary entry suggests that. You can read it on the site below. In fact, these two individuals were lawyers from Boston.
British troops were put on trial. John Adams was their lawyer. They were found not guilty.
his distant cousin was the famous Samuel Adams and he defended the brittish soldiers that were put on trial.
He didn't. It was the handbills of the time with the drawings by Revere. In fact, Adams was the lawyer for the soldiers who put on trial for the event.
John Adams was the lawyer for the British soldiers accused of shooting the colonist in the Boston Massacre. He won the case too.
