Because Socrates challenged the norms of his society, and the people that regulated that society and had power in that society saw him as a threat. He was brainwashing the youth around town, like Plato for instance. So he had to go, of course *sarcasm*. We see this same thing played out in our world, today.

Well, Socrates was actually exiled. He refused and challenged the court to execute him. Upon which they did.
The Apology.

The actual charge was corrupting Athen's youth.
Basically, they nailed him for teaching the adolescents to question authority (government, convention, religon, etc...)
