Jesus was never found truly guilty of anything.

Pilate, who was worried about his political position, just gave in to Jewish demands, though he found 'no fault with him'(John 19:6-16). Jesus was illegally tried and condemned on a charge of blasphemy by the Sanhedrin (Matthew 26:59-66) (Mark 14:61-64), but since the Jews were worried about the people rioting if they killed Jesus(Matt. 26:4, 5), and they had no authority from Rome to carry out a death sentence on secular grounds(John 18:31), the Jewish leaders wanted Rome to do the killing, so changed their charge to 'sedition' (throwing in false witnesses as 'proof')when they approached Pilate (John 18:29-19:16)(John 19:10). "Sedition" means promoting or taking part in dissension that often includes violence(Acts 23:7, 10) . Under Roman law, it carried the death sentence. Pilate, fearful of what a riot among the Jews would do to his relationship with Rome, passed his judgment, and the Jewish religious leaders got their way and fulfilled prophecy.(Galatians 3:13, 16) (Ps 22)(Isaiah 53:9) (Psalm 22:16).(Psalm 118:22)(Isaiah 50:6)(Isaiah 53:8)(Daniel 9:26)

The Jewish court couldn't sentence anyone to death but they did bring him to the Romans on the charge of treason who could sentence him to death.

According to the Talmud, Jesus is found guilty of heresy for which the punishment (not inflicted) would be stoning. However, it is hotly debated as to whether this is a real part of the Talmud or was a bad copy-paste job from elsewhere.

WHY DID PONTIUS PILATE EXECUTE JESUS?

Pontius Pilate did not want to have Jesus crucified. The Sanhedrin (a Jewish priestly court) accused Jesus of blasphemy in relation to Mosaic Law. Some of its members brought Jesus before Pilates accusing him of sedition against Rome for opposing the payment of taxes and for saying that he was a king. Pilates did not think that Jesus was a threat. He tried to save Jesus by using a custom of releasing one prisoner for Passover (a Jewish festival). He brought Barabbas, a criminal and told the crowd to choose between him and Jesus. The crowd demanded Barabbas to be freed and Jesus to be crucified.
