Who created the first official criminal justice system during the American Revolution?

The British created the first official criminal justice system during the American Revolution to justify hangings to the citizens of their government. During this time, different areas had their own "magistrate," which would now be known as a judge who was in charge of ruling whether the evidence was substantial enough for the punishment.
