Reaction to punishment

[edit]

Did they "burst into tears" or did they laugh at the leniency of the punishment? Sources differ on this point. Drutt (talk) 01:03, 20 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I've never seen any sources that said they laughed. John Adams claimed that they burst into tears; then again, he was their lawyer. - PM800 (talk) 01:14, 20 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This suggests that the soldiers made light of the punishment: "A small price to pay for our lives." Drutt (talk) 02:14, 20 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
