No, the chief priests and pharisees said it was blasphemy that he was pretending to be God but he was God so in effect they convicted themselves. Jesus said "Thus fullfills the scriptures - They hated me without cause". Pilate also stated 'I find no fault in this man', but went on to condemn him anyway under pressure from the Jews. Thus, in the sense of Roman justice under which Jesus was condemned it was illegal. Probably Pilate, whose friend and protector Sejanus had been found guilty of plotting against Caesar was ultra-sensitive to the comment 'if you release this man you are not Caesar's friend.' He sensed the possibility of being implicated with Sejanus and this clever ploy by the Jews of introducing Roman politics had the desired effect. He dared not be seen to be taking sides with someone who was another King. It is ironical that the Jews used this ploy as they hated the Roman rule, yet used this lever to get the desired result.
