The Romans had some harsh punishments, but also quite a fair justice system, a man was not condemned without a trial, and he was not handed to the executioner until found guilty. It doesn't seem likely that Pilate, a Roman Governer, would declare that he found Jesus innocent and then deliver him to the executioners to be crucified. |

Most likeley he was found innocent under roman law by pilate and pilate washed his hands of him and the issue, and allowed the people to carry out the death sentence under religious law. Under the code of the torah and talmud jesus was justly crucified. |

There seems to be contradictions in the gospel account though, if Pilate declared -"I am innocent of this man's blood: see to it yourselves" and;
"Jesus he delivered up to their will. (Luke 23: 25-26) So if the Sanhedrin condemned Jesus, wouldn't they have stoned him to death? They appeared to have the power under Roman jurisdiction to carry out the sentence. Why then were the Romans involved in the execution of Jesus? Jesus apparently died a Roman judicial death, which makes Pilate's hand washing seem implausible. |

Jesus did not deserve to be crucified. He deserved a prescription to Haxadol, or whatever anti-psychotic medicine would be appropriate to his problem.
