The exact details of Pilate's history are very hazy. We know for certain that he remained in authority in Judea for another 10 or 11 years. He put down an uprising of Samaritans very brutally. He was recalled to Rome, some authorities say to defend himself against charges of excessive force, others say that his tour of duty was over and he took another position. Some sources say that Caligula forced him commit suicide for his misdeeds. None of these allegations can be proven, as the sources for them are biased or convoluted in some way.

Historically and Biblically, this question can be very hard to . It is my opinion that the trial of Jesus never happen, and the death of Jesus cannot be blamed on the Pharisses or Pontius Pilate.
