his distant cousin was the famous Samuel Adams and he defended the brittish soldiers that were put on trial.
Go study yourself you lazy
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.
it was a massacre and a riot because the boys came and started to make fun of a British red coat and that is a British soldier. the
Boston was important because the Boston Massacre and Tea Party both happened here and also because this is where a lot o the fighting happened. Boston was also the home of John Adams.

King George III thought that the Boston massacre was pointless and could have been prevented. He thought that it was useless also it was a waste of time if the colonist weren't mad at his solders wouldn't have attacked.
George Washington i think... BooYaa!
The Boston massacre was a event that was spun by the men who wanted revolution. What we think we know is not what happened and it was used to get a public response. Revere drew that handbills showing colonial men being shot at by the British. Before the Boston massacre there had been other events that were similar but didn't get any coverage through handbills or political views. John Adams was the lawyer for the British soldiers and they were found not guilty. I imagine that the loyalist in Boston were happy to have the soldiers acquitted of the crimes that they were arrested for.
The Boston Massacre was a political story of its time and recent research shows that they did not fire on the people in that street. The fact that John Adams defended them and won is important, but the Massacre became the propaganda tool of its time. The handbill that Revere made shows this to be true. They wanted people to be upset with the British, so I don't think the British had any choice but to allow the trial.
