Page 52 Section 27a: "You are not at all convincing, Meletus; not even to yourself I suspect."

I chose this because it really showed how easy Socrates was able to bend the prosecution's words and turn it right back on them. Here the prosecution was claming that he didn't believe in the Gods at all and Socrates simply shakes it off and showes him how he is contradicting himself. In the trial it would have been right there, that if I were a juror I would have really thought twice about my pre-chosen conviction of guilty. I think that this part shows how unfair the trail really was despite how easily Socrates was able to show his innocence.
