Pilot thought Jesus was a heretic and should be put to death for questioning Cesar. Jesus scared Pilate in John c19v 8 - 13 it gives the impression that Pilate may have believed Jesus. However, popularity meant a lot and he didn't want to have an angry mob on his hands so he killed Jesus at the crowds' request. It was Pilate that wrote Jesus was king of the Jew on a sign and refused to change the wording to "he says that he is king of the Jews" when the priest asked him to. This too gives the impression that Pilate believed Jesus just might be the messiah and was hedging his bets.
