What was socrates not accused of by the Athenian court?

Why did people want to crucify Jesus?
Jesus did not commit any crimes. Pontius Pilate, the Roman governor of Jude,a had Jesus crucified because the crowd in Jerusalem wanted him executed. Jesus was arrested by the Sanhedrin, a council of Jewish judges. During a trial before the high priest he was asked if he was the son of god and Jesus answered affirmatively. He was accused of blasphemy. The Jewish judges then took Jesus to Pontius Pilates, the Roman governor of Judea, whom they asked to judge and condemn him. The Jewish judges could not present their accusation of blasphemy to Pontius Pilates because the Romans had no jurisdiction over Jewish religion. Therefore, they brought thre charges which could be relevant to Pontius Pilates. They accused Jesus of perverting the Jewish nation, of forbidding the payment of the tribute due to the Romans and of sedition against the Romans by claiming to be the King of the Jews. Pilates asked Jesus if he was the king of the Jews and Jesus replied "If you say so". Pilates was reluctant to condemn Jesus. He sent Jesus to be tired by Herod Antipas, the ruler of Galilee Jesus is a Galilean. Herod Antipas mocked Jesus' claims, put an expensive robe on him to make him look like a king, and return him to Pilate. Pilate called the Jewish judges and said that he had not found him guilty. A crowd assembled in from of his residence wanted the execution of Jesus. In the Roman provinces only the Roman governors could issue a capital punishment sentence. Pilates tried to defend Jesus, but the crowd insisted. He then used the custom of the Roman governor to release one prisoner at Passover and told the crowd to choose between releasing Jesus or Barabbas, a notorious murderer, hoping that they would chose Jesus. However, the crowd wanted to release Barabbas and crucify Jesus. Pilates washed his hands to show that he is not responsible for the execution of Jesus and reluctantly sent him to his death.
Why was the trial of Jesus illegal?
Jesus' trial was brought on by the High Priests. Jesus had broken no Roman laws, but because of the pressure from the High Priests and the political ramifications to Pilot and Herod, they gave in. They knew that there was the chance for riots if they did not do what the religious leaders wanted and that could mean losing their high positions in government. The trial was illegal, as was the sentence, because, as Pilate himself acknowledged 'I find no fault in this man' (Luke 23:4). Also, the Jews brought a religious charge of blasphemy against Jesus which was not punishable under Roman law. There was nothing that Jesus could be either charged or tried on, and most certainly not executed for.
Why was Jesus brought before Pilate?
The Roman had religious tolerance as long as the religion keep peace. Jesus saying He was God and the king of the Jews was a threat to the Roman power. Also, Jesus was doing many things the Jewish high priests thought was blasphemy. The combination of the two lead to His death. There also are man y other reasons.
