“Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations [preference], or the dictates of our passions, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence: nor is the law less stable than the fact; if an assault was made to endanger their lives, the law is clear, they had a right to kill in their own defence; if it was not so severe as to endanger their lives, yet if they were assaulted at all, struck and abused by blows of any sort, by snow-balls, oyster-shells, cinders, clubs, or sticks of any kind; this was a provocation, for which the law reduces the offence of killing, down to manslaughter, in consideration of those passions in our nature, which cannot be eradicated. To your candour [fairness] and justice I submit the prisoners and their cause.”
John Adams, Defense Counsel Closing Arguments, Boston Massacre TrialDecember 1770Boston, MA
