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.
