The prosecution of the British soldiers who shot into the crowd of colonists was headed by Samuel Quincy The defense of the British soldiers was headed by John Adams. In a criminal court in the United States the prosecution represents "the people". However, this trial occurred in 1770. Massachusetts was a colony of England during this trial.
