Virginie Lhuillier, The Trial of Socrates
The origin of Socrates' indictment is to be found in political, economical and social motives. But its condemnation is, itself, closely linked to the relations the Wise man had with trial and judicial logic. Socrates recognised no legitimacy in the Athenian trial. And the fact that Socrates disqualified his own trial directly led to his being sentenced to death.
