What is a Zenger trial?
The Zenger trial refers to the 1735 court case of John Peter Zenger, a New York printer charged with libel for publishing criticisms of the colonial governor, William Cosby. Zenger's defense, led by lawyer Andrew Hamilton, argued that truth should be a defense against libel, challenging the prevailing legal standards of the time. The jury acquitted Zenger, establishing a precedent for freedom of the press and the principle that truthful statements about public officials cannot be deemed libelous. This case is often seen as a foundational moment for American journalism and free speech.

What right grew from the zenger trials?
The Zenger trial brought up the issue of Freedom of speech. John Peter Zenger was a German immigrant who printed " The New York Weekly Journal.". Writers submitted articles to the journal that criticized a corrupt royal governor. Although Zenger never wrote an article, he still got thrown in jail. Since the writers were anonymous, Zenger couldn't name them. He was charged with libel for publishing information opposing the government. While on trial, his wife kept the presses running and information about the unfairness of Zenger being tried with a "stacked" jury came to the attention to the public. As a result, a true jury of his peers was seated and Alexander Hamilton, the most famous lawyer in America, stepped up to defend Zenger. True freedom of speech did not happen until the passage of the First Amendment, but this was the start.
