Socrates was indeed guilty of heresy he plainly disregards the gods in his dialogs. the charge of corrupting the youth was not a formal one but was the real reason he was brought to trial. One of his pupils actually incited a riot.

I wouldn't -- because I believe that Socrates was guilty of those offences. Wht I would do, instead, is argue why those offences should not be crimes.
One thing you have to keep in mind is that the only two remaining accounts of the trial of Socrates were written by his followers. Therefore, we have to believe that they are suspect.
