Question

Do you think adams was pleased with the verdict? why or why not?

Answer 1

Adams decided to represent the British soldiers who were charged with murder in the Boston Massacre. The reason for this was that no one would actually volunteer to act as the defense attorney in this case. Adams, as the defense attorney, had to put his client's interest first, regardless of who they were. For these reasons, he was likely displeased with the verdict because his clients were not found guilty of a lesser crime of manslaughter.
