Breaking News: Socrates Tried Again in Athens and Acquitted! (OPen Culture, 5/29/12)Last Friday the Onassis Cultural Centre in Athens gave Socrates a new trial, assembling a panel of distinguished jurists from Europe and America to reopen the case. As the Onassis Centre's Web site explains, the event was "not a re-enactment but a modern perspective based on current legal framework supplemented with ancient Greek elements and comical theatrics." This time the verdict was different-but just barely. The vote by the jury was a 5-5 tie, which meant Socrates was acquitted.
...he was guilty.
