Answer:

Thomas Preston was found innocent, while two out of eight soldiers were found guilty.

Step-by-step explanation:

This people were accused for killing civilians in Boston in a infamous Boston Massacre that happened in 1770. Preston was not guilty for the crime, as the court said. Even two soldiers that were founded guilty were not sentenced to death. It is interesting that Prescot's lawyer in this case was John Adams.
