Was socrates innocent?

Question

i think socrates was arrogant and aggressive with his apology but i really wanna know if he was innocent of the charges of ateism and corruption of the youth. this is for u philosophers!!!

Answer 1

yes

Answer 2

are you serious?  

Answer 3

no no no....

he was first of all accused of worshiping different gods, not atheism. And he was guilty. He was somewhat currupt the youth, but currupt is a slippery term, and worshipped different gods. but the charges with bullsh*t. and his apology was not arrogant at all. he only defended himself. i mean honestly, give him a break. they are trying to kill him, don't you think you might put up a fight?

seriously though, killing socrates was one of the worst injustices on earth ever. have you read plato's republic? my fav.
