It cannot be overstated the positive influence John Adams had on the revolution. The Sons of Liberty and many other likeminded people had all the worst inclinations of the French revolutionaries that bathed Paris in blood. It took a man like Adams who saw the mob as no more inherently virtuous than a king to fight tirelessly to ensure we'd be "a nation of laws and not of men."
For all the Trumper, trying to make the prisoners look like Trump big difference prosecution in this one wasn’t able to overcome the burden of proof proving if the soldiers did deliberately fired on orders while Adams was able to prove they were just trying to defend themselves. With Trump the prosecution overcame the burden of proof putting together a compelling argument for the financial fraud committed in the 2016 election and meanwhile Trump’s idiot defense just went with the same gaslighting repeat certain terms instead of putting an actual defense together. 34 count and all of them had to be unanimous and he was found guilty. Accept it or be regarded as a nonperson.
Its starting to look more and more like the Democrats are the prosecutors and Trump is the soldiers. Getting the redcoats by any means necessary, true or not, is the goal by the Americans here. Very much like these crazy Democrats filing lawsuits all over the country and trying to remove him from the ballot.
Well, there is that little thing called January 6, 2021 that very much was Trump‘s fault. Had that not happen you could be assured Trump would not be going through this. Everything that’s going on is because of him and also because all of you are willing to somehow think he is not guilty.

"Just because OnlyFans thots got $8 million for twerking three years ago, does not mean you'll become anything more than a pathetic loser today for copying yesterday's formula instead of finally caring about doing the right thing!" -John Adams Fun Fact: My Great Great Great Great grandfather was not in that room at the time, since I am Filipino. Great miniseries! Gets better with time!!!
It was the most pathetic massacre ever. 5 dead, I don't know how 5 deaths become a massacre. I live in a village where 589 died in WW2 in England. This would look like, shut up you don't know what you're talking about.
Adams believed strongly in the rule of law, not passion or tyranny. One of the most distinctive things about the American Revolution was the fact that it was not merely the American colonists rising up against the Crown. It was the American GOVERNMENT rising up against the Crown. Most rebellions have had leaders in history, but leaders only, not an actual, formal, functioning government. The American colonists were not rebelling against the rule of law, but the rule of BRITISH law. And unlike some rebellions, they did not wait to see if they won the war before founding a new government, they founded one and THEN went to war to defend it. Despite being rebels, there were laws and rules of conduct enforced upon the American citizenry, militia and Continental forces by their own government. And that, in large part, contributed to the success of the Revolution.
...and they were aquitted. He was brilliant. Proud to be an American. We're in big trouble with the curbing of voting rights. God help our young republic.
What a fucking travesty and joke that is being made of in the US right now. Like Trump or hate him, the uniparty New World Order is steamrolling the US justice system just to silence one man
The guys got a fair trial but more importantly Paul Revere played it to the greatest with his drawing of his propaganda his version of the Boston massacre. It worked quite well
Huh? You're saying the soldiers got a fair trial in which all but two were acquitted, those two being convicted of manslaughter, not murder. Yet, Paul Revere's engraving is correct, despite being proved as inaccurate?
As of writing, we’re nearing the end of the Rittenhouse trial. I had to return to this court masterpiece. The accused should be judged solely on the evidence produced at court, and the jury put themselves in his shoes. The mainstream media will have you believe it’s a Vs match between the political ideology of Rittenhouse and the rioters, with the media outlets using them as their political toy soldiers. This seems so civilised, and a complete world away. May the United States not forget, and continue to be a bastion of freedom, and envy of the world. The founding fathers were the most fallible whilst simultaneously being the most wise and self awared of man.
In some of my erstwhile circles, a disconcerting number of people expressed such high-minded sentiments about the conduct of the Rittenhouse trial, and then went back to speaking of the need for Balkanization and tearing down the system after seeing the results of the Chauvin trial. If only this integrity was more often appealed to with something like consistency.
John Adams is one of the finest examples of articulate morality that the United States(or anywhere else)has ever seen..contrast this fine mans oratory skills against those of Trump and think upon the fact that each and every person present in that court fully understood what this man was actually saying- and it becomes painfully clear how far we are sliding into a sea of ignorant barbarity.
Every US history teacher points to the Boston Massacre as a justification for the Declaration of Independence. They are not required to mention that the British soldiers involved were acting in self-defense, found innocent of all charges, or that a future president defended them.
Adams later referred to his work in this trial as the greatest piece of service he ever rendered his country. How right he was. Had the British soldiers been executed for the shootings, they would likely be viewed as martyrs to the cause of self-defense in America today, given that the US and Britain have been allies for a very long time.
"On the one hand it is inexorable to the cries and lamentations of the prisoners; on the other it is deaf, deaf as an adder to the clamors of the populace." Someone should have told that to Minneapolis.
As fine an actor as this man may be, he does not have the look of a man with the intelligence, education, or the character of John Adams. I don't buy it.
Cesare Bonesana di Beccaria, Marquis of Gualdrasco and Villareggio (1738-1794), of Milan, Italy. The Marquis of Beccaria as quoted here, wrote those words in his work in 1764. "Dei delitti e delle pene" = "On Crimes and Punishments", considered one of the founding documents of criminal law. First English translation was 1767. And the Boston Massacre was 1770.
The screaming townspeople in this are the months of rioters screaming in the faces of police as they loot and commit arson all around them. The few rubber bullets, tear gas and rough takedowns some of them got we’re lucky only to have that happen. The protestors were so brave in their “moments in history” knowing the police likely weren’t going to fight back but I was all of a sudden a travesty if they did.
I agree,John Adams was one of the best lawyers this country has ever had. Fast forward to the 1800's,and Francis Scott Key was as well. But there are probably other good ones that I may not know about yet. Will have to look into this to learn more. But we definitely need more John Adams type of lawyers today.
This series is breathtaking and i find nearly no flaws in it. The sets, the costumes, the b-roll, the accents all make my brain convinced I’m in the 1770s
The fact that we still call it a massacre goes to show the power of propaganda

Back when justice was blind men had honor and the courage of their convictions. John Adam’s was a rare individual and amazing human being.

Trump 2024 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 rent free in your heads buddy because trump taking that victory this November.
Good closing argument.
They gave Giammati a quasi English Boston accent....well done. Boston Boy heah.

34 counts and all of them had to be unanimous. You are a hypocrite to actually insinuate your comment after the burden of proof has been overcome!

Over 50% of current lawyers decided to be lawyers after they saw this scene and the legally blonde scene

This series was spectacular! No need to go on. What a masterpiece
Adams' impartiality --- in our time of conflict --- is something we must heed.
make sure to keep showing his wife pretentiously nodding with approval to make sure everyone knows she is also smart god forbid we wouldnt see that
What show is this ?
HBO Mini Series "John Adams"
Thank you for posting this. His passion for the law was palpable.
The Boston Massacre was justified
But they crossed state lines! (wear your mask)
John Adams was impressive as a lawyer.
Kyle
...and they were aquitted. He was brilliant. Proud to be an American. We're in big trouble with the curbing of voting rights. God help our young republic.
John Adams the epitome of what a lawyer should and ought to be
I like the the Masonic hand gesture at the end, an accurate…period touch
Adams was the voice of the revolution and This is Giamatti’s magnum opus.
“Prisoners must be judged SOLELY upon the evidence produced against them in court and by nothing else.”
Agreed and that is what it be. Evidence not emotion or polls
It is supposed to be this way
Yeah right😂
What a fucking travesty and joke that is being made of in the US right now. Like Trump or hate him, the uniparty New World Order is steamrolling the US justice system just to silence one man
Boy, have strayed from that basic Notion of jurisprudence years Later... and look ahat has Happened to this great country
I am reminded of this event on this day, I wonder why.
Kyle Rittenhouse
The guys got a fair trial but more importantly Paul Revere played it to the greatest with his drawing of his propaganda his version of the Boston massacre. It worked quite well

Facts are indeed stubborn things. Let us be governed by facts and conscience and not the corrupt mind and soul of the entitled.
i love my Country UNITED STATES OF AMERICA TILL THE DEATH !

Imagine making these type of series today. It would be labelled as straight white men supremacy and homophobic. And there may be riots.
These words are more relevant now more than ever before
Reminds me of the speech in Animal House. “ I will not sit here while you badmouth the united states of america”
The Saul Goodman of his time!

god bless the law
That chick looks weird

Yep. I'm a Boomer and I remember getting fed that propaganda in the '60s in grade school.

If you go around judging people on their looks you will often be surprised and outwitted.
The real John Adams grew up a poor farmer, stupid.
Paul Giammati is total garbage. This is the worst and most offensive rendering of american history ever made by the scum of movieland.
tssk. lame. i hate america and the selective service system.
All I can think about it is the Minutemen Quest in Concord.
Adam's actions are what it truly means to be an American`
