In the strictest sense of the word, Plato was not a Stoic: the Stoic 'school' originated with Zeno of Citium, at Athens, ca. 300 B.C., several decades after Plato's death. Zeno and the later Stoics were undoubtedly influenced themes and ideas raised in Plato's writings (as well as Aristotle's), but this is far as the connection goes.
Plato was not sentenced to death. It was his mentor, Socrates, who was sentenced to death by drinking hemlock. Plato himself was not sentenced to death but continued his philosophical teachings and writings.
