It wasn't Pilate who wanted to accuse Christ. He gave the people a choice: they could let Christ go and crucify a murderer, Barabbas, or they could release Barabbas into the general public and crucify Christ. The crowd decided to release Barabbas and kill Christ. Pilate actually washed his hands after, to show that the blood of Christ was on his hands, but on the hands of the people.

He decided to use the custom of releasing a prisoner for the Passover Jewish religious festival. Pilate presented Barabbas, a criminal, and asked the crowd and asked whether they wanted to release Barabbas or Jesus, hoping that Barabbas would be chosen. The crowd chose Barabbas and shouted 'Crucify him (Jesus).
