Why John Adams Defended British Soldiers in the Boston Massacre Trials

In terms of the town, you know, these days criminal defense lawyers regularly cite John Adams’s defense of the British soldiers as the example of why they have to represent certain clients. And yet the thing that Adams did in this case that some of them don’t was to defend them in a way that wasn’t scorched earth. Adams didn’t blame the city for initiating the skirmish. He kept it very, very focused on the facts of this particular instance—what happened, who was there, the specific individuals—and did not make it a broader indictment of the Sons of Liberty and others who had supported violence against the British soldiers.
