executed for, in my opinion, doing nothing wrong.
Socrates did not deserve to be put to death as a
punishment for being himself and trying to learn

trial, I definitely would vote to acquit Socrates,
since he was not guilty of any of the accusations
he was tried for. He definitely did not deserve to
be executed for, in his words, trying to find the
truth. Socrates was accused of three different

music that contains vulgar language. Now that he
