Medfield Historical Society Presentation "The Boston Massacre Trials"

MHS Presents: "The Boston Massacre Trials: Blood in the Snow" on 4/2 at 6pm at The Center at Medfield, FREE, Registration is Required

Medfield Historical Society: "The Boston Massacre Trials: Blood in the Snow" Presented By The Honorable Dennis J. Curran

Denounced as an act of unprovoked violence and villainy, this 1770 event is one of the most familiar incidents in American history, yet one of the least understood.

We will revisit this dramatic episode and the resulting trials, the competing narratives that molded public perceptions, and the unheralded courage of one lawyer and a future President , John Adams, tasked with the defense of the captain of British troops charged with murder.

The Honorable Dennis J. Curran, Justice, Massachusetts Superior Court (Ret.) presents this talk from his lecture series “Great Trials That Changed History: A Judge’s Perspective.”
