You forget the time frame where this happened, it happened after the defeat of Athens in the Peloponnesian war and the Spartan impose of the 8 months rule of the thirty tyrants in power and their overthrowing by the democrats and Thrasivoulos. The leader of the 30 tyrants was Critias, who happened to be a Laconophile and an associate/pupil of Socrates, who although did not support the 30 tyrants, he was nonetheless a well-known enemy of democracy and thought to be a source of inspiration for them. So this makes the reason for his condemnation quite obvious.
