I agree that Pilate did everything he could to encourage the Jews to allow Jesus to be set free, even asking them to choose between setting Jesus Christ free to choosing to set a deranged murderer free... but the Jews chose to release the murderer have have Jesus tortured and crucified while they mocked Him.
Correct: the Jews knew they could use Caesar's laws to get what they wanted and have the innocent Son of God tortured and executed. The Jews would have had Pilate executed for not following the laws and then the Jews would have had Jesus Christ tortured and executed anyway.
To be fair, it was the Sanhedrin and their minions who shouted for Jesus' death. Jesus was a Jew and had many adherents who supported Him. Then as now or should I say as has been the case until recently, the crazy ass and sometimes unwitting death cult puppets have shouted the loudest. We're finally making ourselves heard and it is our most stupendous chance for regaining our world.

Gives me chills.
But at the end of the day, Pilate chose to save his own skin and not get in trouble with Caesar rather than let an innocent man go free.

The deranged guy was being held out as the messiah too. He was the counterfeit as he was fomenting physical revolution.
Also, they didn't kill Christ. He could have called 72k angels to get him.off the tree. Je was obedient unto death and it says he gave up the ghost.
