250 years ago on March 5, 1770, British soldiers opened fire on the streets of Boston. In the end, five men died. But who was to blame for personally killing five men and wounding many others? An army captain and eight soldiers awaited trial for charges of murder. Rumors and accusations abound whether the townspeople provoked the soldiers, or if the soldiers purposely sought violence.
Should the town demand immediate vengeance and punishment of the accused, or permit a months-long investigation and trial in the name of impartial justice? You decide!
