Because Jesus was a tree hugging hippie.
Christ had to be condemned to death by Pilate, the Roman governor, because the Jewish leaders did not have legal authority under Roman law to condemn a criminal to death.
Caiaphas was High Priest. Jesus was sentenced to death on the orders of Pilate, the Roman Governor because the Jewish leaders had no authority to do so. The Pharisees and priests, as a committee, urged Pilate to condemn Jesus.

Caesar Augustus died in 14 CE and was succeeded by Tiberius, who lived until 37 CE. So Augustus was long dead at the time attributed to the death of Jesus. There is no evidence that Tiberius ever knew about Jesus being condemned to death. The gospels say that the local Roman governor was reluctant to condemn Jesus to death, but some say that this was said in order for the gospels not to appear anti-Roman.
That would be Pilate, the Roman governor.

Roman governor Pilate ordered the cruciffication of Jesus.
In the king James version* Mat 27:2 And when they had bound him, they led him away, and delivered him to Pontius Pilate the governor. * Luk 3:1 Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judaea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of Ituraea and of the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias the tetrarch of Abilene,The Roman Governor who tried Jesus on Pontious Pilot. Jesus was later crucified even though he did absolutely nothing wrong.The Roman official who tried Jesus was Pontius Pilate.Pontius Pilate was the Procurator of Judea. During his tenure there, he was faced with the problem of Jesus. The Jewish leaders in Jerusalem believed that Jesus was a false "God" and a danger to the Jewish establishment. They wanted him executed. In Judea, only a Roman governor or Procurator had the authority to pass a death sentence. Rather than having problems with Jewish leaders, Pilate relented and ordered that Jesus be crucified.
Jesus would not have been put to death except there were a death warrant issued by the Roman Governor, Pontius Pilate. There was. He was. And Pilate gave sentence that it should be as they required. (Luke 23:24)
After Jesus' death, Pontius Pilate continued to serve as the Roman governor of Judea for a few more years before being removed from his position by the Roman Emperor. He was eventually exiled to Gaul, where he is believed to have died by suicide.
Jesus was taken to Roman court for trial by the Governor Pontius Pilate.As the Jews did not have the power to kill anyone on the cross, it rested entirely on the Roman Governor.
