TERROR TO THE WICKED
America’s First Trial by Jury That Ended a War and Helped to Form a Nation
The year: 1638.  The setting: Providence, near Plymouth Colony.  The crime: A runaway indentured servant brutally stabs and robs a young Nipmuc tribesman returning home from trading beaver pelts. With his last breath, the victim reveals the details of the attack to Providence’s governor, Roger Williams.  An all-out manhunt, dramatic capture and tension-filled murder trial follows. It is the first trial the two-year-old Plymouth Colony has faced.  The stakes are high. Would the twelve, white male jurors, picked from a total population of five hundred and fifty, be tempted to protect a cold-blooded murderer and Pequot War veteran over the life of a tribesman who had fought in a war against them? Or would their groundbreaking judicial decision forever set the standard for American justice?
