It seems to me I said the trial of Yeshua was an internal issue. There had to be an "internal" reason to have Him bumped off. That Internal reason was Torah. There was nothing in His actions that facilitated the death sentence, so they used blasphemy: calling something God that was not God.
The Romans saw nothing in Him to warrant the death penalty (much like what the Romans said of Paul -- which, again, is support for his continued validation of Torah), but the Romans gave some of the Judean leadership (the Sadducean leadership with the High Priest and some of House Shammai Pharisees) what they wanted in order to keep Pax Romana: they gave them Yeshua. Your thought on "capital punishment for sedition and treason" doesn't work with the quote from Pilate, "You brought this man to me, accusing him of leading a revolt. I have examined him thoroughly on this point in your presence and find him innocent."

It seems to me that sedition would be the only charge worth making. Even in our modern government, it would be easier to get capital punishment for sedition and treason than it would if it was argued that somebody violated Shabbat. ---------- "Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer every man."
