Lesson 1-06: The Boston Massacre Murder or Self-Defense? Slide 28 Captain Preston and eight soldiers were put on trail for murder. Captain Preston was acquitted. On December 5, six of the soldiers were acquitted BUT Kilroy was found guilty of manslaughter for killing Samuel Gray and Montgomery was found guilty of manslaughter for killing Crispus Attucks. Lesson 1-06: The Boston Massacre Murder or Self-Defense? Slide 29 Kilroy and Montgomery faced the death penalty at the sentencing on December 14, 1770. To escape execution they "prayed the benefit of clergy," a Medieval remnant of the time when clergymen were excepted from the secular courts. To receive the benefit they had only to prove they could read Psalm 51, verse 1, the "neck verse," at a time when most people were illiterate. Although illiterate himself, Kilroy was able to obtain the benefit because the reading requirement was abolished in 1705. Suffolk County Sheriff Stephen Greenleaf branded Kilroy and Montgomery on the right thumb with an "M" for murder. The brand was to prevent them from ever being able to invoke the benefit of clergy again. Lesson 1-06: The Boston Massacre Murder or Self-Defense?
