Page 63 Section 35c : "But apart from all question of appearances, gentlemen, I do not think that it is just for a man to appeal to the jury or to get himself acquitted by doing so; he ought to inform them of the facts and convince them by argument"

I chose this statement from Socrates' trail because I thought it once again showed him in the democratic and just light. These type of statements would have really helped Socrates out if it wasn't for the jury's predetermend decision. It made the situation seem like Socrates was a saint and the prosecution as unjust jerks. After reading this I really started to side with Socrates and believing that he was in the right while his prosecutors were really criminals who thought that they were above the law.
