Pilate had the choice between a miscarriage of Justice or a dangerous riot. He chose to sacrifice the one man rather than make a decision which could have caused the deaths of many of his soldiers and many more civilians.

Why was Barabas freed from crime?
Barabbas was the unwitting beneficiary of a failed attempt by Pontius Pilate to negotiate the release of Jesus of Nazareth with the angry crowd in his judgment hall. If Pilate's gambit had worked, Barabbas would have been hanged on the cross instead of Jesus. But, given a choice between executing the insurrectionist and murderer Barabbas, or the law abiding miracle worker Jesus, the crowd chose the miracle worker, and Pilate was forced to reluctantly comply. Barabbas was freed.

Pontius Pilate certainly could have freed Jesus. Historians say that it would have been unacceptable to the Roman authorities for a Roman governor to give in to the demands of the Jews in the way described in the gospels. If he really did sentence Jesus to crucifixion without due cause, he would have risked immediate recall to Rome, in disgrace. Whether or not Pontius Pilate would have altered the course of Christian history by freeing Jesus is a matter for debate. Many scholars believe that the beginning of Christianity had very little to do with the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus.
