Jesus was tried on trumped charges of treason because the ruling sect of the Jews wanted him dead, as they perceived him as a threat to their beliefs. This was their charge of blasphemy, but it was not a capital offense under Roman law. Therefore they had to convince the Romans that Jesus was going to set himself up as a king. Pilate saw through this rouse, but his hands were tied due to the political situation. He tried to get Jesus off, but failed. The sign that Pilate ordered put up on Jesus' cross, INRI, (Jesus of Nazareth King of the Jews) was not an explanation of the charges, but of a way of Pilate getting revenge on the Jewish leaders who forced his hand.
