The Jews charged Jesus with blasphemy. Pilate pointed out that the Jews were to judge their own religious questions. They replied that they had no permission to put anyone to death, as was their intention with Jesus. Since blasphemy was not a charge under Roman Law, under which Jesus was tried, it must be concluded he was sentenced without charge, even though the Jews tried to bring some allegations of treason against the Roman state to give it a semblance of legality.

Jesus made himself to be the Son of God by claiming that God was his Father, making himself (Jesus) equal with God. This was a Jewish crime punishable by death. The Jews could not kill anyone themselves, so they brought Jesus to the Roman authorities to have them kill Jesus. Perhaps the Jews specifically wanted Jesus crucified which they may not have been allowed to do? The Jews did not seem to have a problem with stoning people to death for crimes of adultery. There is an account recorded in the Gospel of John where Jesus writes on the ground preventing the stoning of a woman caught in the very act.
Charge #2
Jesus made himself out to be the King of the Jews. The Jewish authorities convinced Pilate that anyone making himself out to be a King was against the Emperor Caesar.
PILATE "Are you the King of the Jews?"
JESUS "Do you say this on your own, or have others told you about me?"
"My Kingdom does not belong to this world".
PILATE (to the crowd of Jews)
"Do you want me to crucify your King?"
JEWISH CHIEF PRIESTS said,
"We have no King but the Emperor Caesar."
Then at Noon on "Good Wednesday" (The preparation day for Sabbath Thursday Passover) Jesus was handed over to be crucified that day.
And it didn't help that:
Jesus broke the sabbath law (In the eyes of the Jewish authorities) by healing a man on the sabbath.
Jesus said, "Before Abraham (Father Abraham) was born, I am". That incited a riot.
Jesus claimed to be the Messiah. He claimed that the Scriptures pointed to himself.
Jesus claimed that Moses, in whom the Jews placed their hope, would accuse them.
Jesus told the Jews that if they didn't believe he was who he said he was, that they would DIE IN THEIR SINS.

When Jesus was crucified He was placed alongside two criminals. The two criminals hurled insults and accusations at Christ as they were all slowly dying. At one point, one of the criminals recognized Jesus as the Messiah and asked that he be remembered when Jesus came into His kingdom. This was clear evidence of saving faith, to which Jesus responded "today you will be with Me in paradise." The criminal believed Jesus was God's Son and that He would rise from the dead. As such, he put his faith in Christ. This is saving faith and those who also trust Christ will see this gentleman in paradise.
