America’s First Murder Trial The Case That Rewired Colonial Justice

America’s first murder trial in 1630 changed the future of justice in the colonies.
When John Billington was accused of killing John Newcomen, Plymouth leaders created a court system from scratch—mixing scripture, fear, and punishment into the first legal showdown in American history.

This long-buried case reveals:
• how crime and sin were treated as the same thing,
• why confession mattered more than evidence,
• how public execution became a sacred ritual,
• and how the trial shaped every courtroom that followed, all the way to Salem.

If you want the hidden truth about early America, colonial law, and the dark foundations of American justice, this is your essential deep dive.
