Yes, there was a fair trial for the British soldiers. Their lawyer was John Adams. They were charged as follows:
William Wemms - not guilty
William M'Cauley - not guilty
James Hartegan - not guilty
Hugh White - not guilty
Warren - not guilty
Carrol - not guilty
Hugh Montgomery - not guilty of murder, but guilty of manslaughter
Matthew Kilroy - not guilty of murder, but guilty of manslaughter
They branded Montgomery's and Kilroy's thumbs, so they didn't have to go to prison.
