Well apparently we're barking up the wrong tree but now we're here, did they actually find him guilty of any of that? Not sure they even accused him with assault and breaking the peace, though I think they discussed blasphemy and treason with him, but he kind of slipped out of that by answering a question with a question. What a justice system. These days it'd be "answer the effing question or you'll be in the slammer for contempt till you do."
According to scripture, Pilate declared that he couldn't find any fault in him, then he got passed on to the rabbis, and I don't think there are any details about any further interrogation. But I could be wrong. I'm not famous for knowing scripture off by heart and they make it hard to look up because it's all fragmented across several gospels. We need a time machine to settle this.
