Acquitted by whom? The government of Massachusetts and/or the Continental Congress, or by Britain? Because if by Britain, that really isn't irony. That would just strengthen the point of the meme.

By a court of law. C'mon Bel, please tell me you saw the John Adams series on HBO. (Please note that my knowledge of this incident is not wholly dependent on that show).

Whose court of law? If it was that of the British, my point still stands.
And no, never saw it. I don't have HBO.

I'm surprised by that, it seems right up your alley. You should buy it on Amazon Prime or on DVD, it's superb.

I just don't watch much television, at all. Most of my passive screen time is watching YouTube videos on fishing and general outdoors stuff and some comedy.

So I guess Dorf Goes Fishing posted on YouTube would be a better suggestion for you?
