Albert Einstein quoted: "In matters of truth and justice, there is no difference between large and small problems, because issues concerning the treatment of people are all the same." (Clever quote) Was there truth and justice in Socrates' trial? First of all, what is justice? According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, the definition of justice is the administration of law, especially the establishment or determination of rights according to the rules of law or equity. Meletus took an older man to court for corrupting the young man and refusing to believe in the city's gods. 501 male Athenian citizens sat on the jury to judge and base their decisions on Meletus' accusations and Socrates' defense to find Socrates guilty. Who must declare that a trial has followed the correct procedure to fully reach a decision of guilty or not guilty? Is a quick and expeditious trial necessarily a fair trial? What does Meletus give the jury that helps them reach the conclusion that Socrates is guilty? Let us answer these questions by examining justice, if there was any, in the courtroom of Socrates vs. Meletus. When you examine why Meletus brought Socrates to court, the "evidence" that Meletus brought against Socrates, and the length of the hearing, you will see that justice was not served in Socrates' trial. Socrates' first accusation is that he has corrupted the young man. (Apologies, p.27) How is it that an old man can corrupt a young man for so many years, but now he is condemned only a few years before his death? If children's morals and values ​​are warped or damaged, wouldn't it take more than one source to completely alter their personal ideas? Socrates believes he is the one who improves... in the middle of the paper... he warned me." (Apologia, p.38) Justice would have been the thirty men who voted differently. This is not a big problem or small, but rather an issue that concerns the treatment of people. It is the treatment of an old man with a lot of wisdom and intellect Socrates is a man who should be found not guilty in court for corrupting the young and not believing in the gods Socrates should have been found innocent thanks to the truth and justice by a jury of 501 Athenian men.
