When Socrates was placed on trial which accusation was not made?
He was charged with leading the youth astray and impiety. The first charge delineated the problem, the second charge, which carried the death penalty, was the solution. There were other charges possible, but with this effective duo before the jury, why would any other charge be necessary?

Did Socrates worship Zeus?
One of the accusations leveled against Socrates in his trial is that he was an atheist because he did not accept the gods of the state. Socrates directly addresses this charge in his apology, since it was the most serious and the one that can lead to a death sentence. Socrates argues that he in fact does accept the existence of the Gods, Zeus included. However he rejected the stories that the State propagated about the Gods. So arguably he worshipped Zeus or else he the state would have sentenced him to death. On the other hand, you can say that he worshipped Zeus to his own personal limits.
When a charge is made against a parolee but the charge cannot be proven against the parolee and the parolee cannot disprove the charge can the charge still stand against the parolee?
In the U.S. YOU are not required to prove your own innocence. If a charge is made against you that cannot be substantiated - then the charge is baseless and 'goes away.'
How does Socrates use Euthyphro words against him?
Socrates' aim is to sow confusion in the minds of the jurors about the validity of the charge of impiety which Euthyphro is prosecuting against him. In five definitions of impiety (offending the gods) which the discussions hang around, Socrates tries to get him tied up in knots and throw doubt on what the charge is about anyway. It is not a particularly clever approach - Socrates is using devious and dubious word plays to confuse Euthyphro. While this may have been well followed and received by the intelligent and well-educated young men to whom Socrates targeted to deliver his philosophical arguments, he was here trying to pass this off to 500 jurors who were selected randomly by lot from the common people - farmers, tradesmen and workers, who would have been bored stiff, and just waiting to get to the verdict. While this dialogue makes for an interesting display for anyone interested in how to twist and spin an argument, the unimpressed jurors condemned him to death.
