According to the dialogues of Plato, he believed it was "his time to die."
Socrates believed in the immortality of the soul and viewed death as a release from the troubles of this world. He also maintained that death was not something to be feared, as it was the ultimate truth and an opportunity to gain wisdom or reunite with the gods. Therefore, he faced death with cheerfulness and acceptance.
Crito is surprised that Socrates is able to sleep because Socrates is facing death the next day and would typically be distressed. However, Socrates believes that it is important to face death calmly and with a clear conscience, which allows him to sleep peacefully.
Socrates was sentenced to death by drinking poison called hemlock. This punishment was carried out after he was found guilty of corrupting the youth and impiety in ancient Athens in 399 BC.

Socrates proposed to pay a small fine as punishment for his crimes, rather than face exile or imprisonment. However, the jury decided on a harsher penalty and sentenced him to death by drinking poison (hemlock).
Socrates' was sentenced to death by hemlock because he was believed to have been corrupting the youth and teaching them to turn away from the gods. While Socrates repeatedly denied attempting to teach the youth, saying rather that he was simply allowing them to follow him and listen to his dialogues which often centered around the Socratic method of questioning the original questioner, the jury ruled that he should die by poison.
Following the trial of Socrates, the jury is said to have condemned Socrates to death by poison. Socrates, however, may have had the chance to flee this fate, by escaping out of Athens and living the remainder of his life as an exile. The Crito, is an explanation of the philosophical reasoning as to why Socrates chose to remain in Athens and face his death sentence rather than abandon his philosophical positions.

In my opinion, Friar Lawrence is guilty for Romeo and Juliet's death. I think he is guilty because he married Romeo and Juliet. He gave Juliet the potion, and because he didn't get the message to Romeo, I think that he should have met up with Romeo on the outside of Capulet's tomb. Or maybe he could of gone to Mantua and met with Romeo face to face.
