Do you think Socrates got what he deserved? Why didn't he accept exile?

              Socrates was born in the year of four hundred sixty nine before the Common Era. He was the son of Sophroniscus who was a stone manson and sculptor. Socrates also even learned his father’s business and practiced it for many years. However, there is very little other information about his early life. One of the biggest differences, though, about Socrates compared to all of the other Athenian citizens is that he cared very little about appearance. Instead, he focused on more of intellectual purposes such as logic and reason. Once he even said that since his eyes were bigger, they were actually better for he could see everything in a clearer way. Then also since his nose was more profound and his nostrils flared out, it was more beautiful because now he could distinguish and recognize different smells easier. He believed that you should make your decisions on what you personally thought was right or wrong and cared very greatly for the life in the city. But also he was very critical about Athens and even himself. Because of his criticism, he was sent to be trialed by his fellow citizens picked at random. However, after being sentenced he instead suggested he should get free dinners for the rest of his life as a price for being Athens’s benefactor. I think he didn’t accept the exile because he was simply too proud. He wanted to prove to the Athenian people and government that he was better than what they thought of him. In my opinion, I believe he thought that he was innocent. Later in three hundred ninety nine before the Common Era, however he was found guilty and sentenced to death by the traditional Athenian way, poison hemlock. This was a type of poison that disrupts the central nervous system and causes indigestion, which could lead to a respiratory collapse. In my opinion I do not think that Socrates was guilty. Instead, I think he was an innocent man. He was just different and had higher expectations compared to the normal Athenian. Because of this, Socrates got falsely accused.
