Capt. Preston is indeed innocent on the day that the fight broke out between Sentinal and the teenager, Preston was not around as the mobed formed and things were being thrown at the soldiers by spectators, the mob was shouting fire, fire, fire, fire was interperted as a house was on fire so the fire bell starts ringing, this caused a lot of comotion and the soliders began to fire even though the order was not given.
Who's to blame for the five people being killed during the fight between Sentinal and the teenage boy? There was a lot of comotion going on that day with people throwing sticks and snowballs. The mob was shouting different things like fire, and when that was said the bell for a house fire started ringing and then soliders started to fire their guns without the command of their captin. There were may testomonies to say that they saw preston say fire but it was indeed a dark night out and you can not clearly see someone lips moving or hear them correctly from 18ft away when there is fighting, yelling, and church bell going off.
There is not any real evidence that Capt. Preston ever said the word fire. So most people would say that capt. Prestons men are guilty, But many people were saying fire fire and with all of the comothion going on Prestons men could have eaisly gotten confused thinking another mans voice was Capt. Prestons. Capt. Preston and his men should not be hung for the acidental deaths that occured the day of the Boston Massacre.
