i do not understand the question but here is a little background on Peter Zenger.

Explanation:

John Peter Zenger was a German-American printer and journalist. In 1733 he began to speak negatively of the colonial governor William Cosby in his paper The New York Weekly Journal. In 1734 he was arrested under orders of Cosby but was acquitted by a jury. After his acquittal, he was charged with libel by attorney general Richard Bradley in August of 1735. He was defended successfully by his lawyer Alexander Hamilton on the case that truth is a defense against libel.
