Dear citizens of Athens.

I come through this letter to explain the reasons that lead me to believe that the citizen whom we know as Socrates is guilty of the crimes that he is accused of, however, I will also use the letter to lose them that even in the midst of the accused's guilt, no let us c0nd3** him to death.

As you already know, Socrates is a wise man, probably wiser than all of us combined. Amid his wisdom, Socrates found himself greater than the Greek gods, even denying them and ignoring our religion, which seems small in relation to a mind as big as his. Socrates then shows himself to be a heretic and promotes a sin against the gods, but it is up to the gods to punish him in a way with their power they find better.

However, Socrates presents not only a sin against the gods, but also a sin against our society, since he endeavored to corrupt and distort our young people, as we learn from the victims' testimonies. We cannot ignore the p3rv3rsity of the accused, but I ask you, is it up to us to punish him with death?

If we answer yes, we will become murderers and as criminal as the accused, causing everyone to face a trial for it. In that case, to get rid of this problem, I propose that we sentence this offender to a continuous prison that will last until the day of his death, but we will spare his life, because that way we will be saving ours.
