What prisoner did Pontius Pilate free?
Pontius Pilate certainly could have freed Jesus. Historians say that it would have been unacceptable to the Roman authorities for a Roman governor to give in to the demands of the Jews in the way described in the gospels. If he really did sentence Jesus to crucifixion without due cause, he would have risked immediate recall to Rome, in disgrace. Whether or not Pontius Pilate would have altered the course of Christian history by freeing Jesus is a matter for debate. Many scholars believe that the beginning of Christianity had very little to do with the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus.
Who exactly was Pontius Pilate?
He was procurator of Judaea from 26 to 36 A.D. His rule though was very inflexible and unpopular. He was summoned back to Rome by the Emperor Tiberius to explain why he a messed up so badly but the Emperor died before he got there. Nothing else is really known. One legend says he committed suicide. Others though say he became a Christian and the Abyssinian church reckons him a saint. For more detail try: newadvent.org
Why did Pontius Pilate ask Jesus who he was?
Probably to see if he really did call himself the Messiah which Jesus is the Messiah.Okay God Bless You.
Was there really a Passover amnesty that allowed Pontius Pilate to release a prisoner during the time of Jesus?
Yes that was the custom; on Passover Day one prisoner would have to be released. Pilate wanted Jesus to be free, but the crowd wanted Barabbas free, and he was set free at the cost of Jesus.

Are there any judges in the New Testament of the bible?
If you mean judges in the sense that the book of Judges means, then no, not really. If you mean legal judges, then yes, Pontius Pilate could be considered a judge. Jesus also mentions a judge in one or two of his teachings (for example Matthew 5:21-26)

How did Pilate try to get out of dealing with Jesus?
A:There are three ways in which the New Testament gospels tell us that Pilate tried to get out of dealing with Jesus: The gospels tell us that there was a Jewish custom to release a condemned man for the Passover. Believing that the Jews would rather have Jesus released than Barabbas, a robber, Pontius Pilate asked whom he should release, but the mob told him to release Barabbas. Scholars of first-century Jewish customs can find no evidence that a condemned man was ever released for the Passover, but the story does parallel a known Jewish custom of releasing a lamb for the Passover and of sacrificing a second lamb. If this story was intended as an allegory, the Jews simply had the wrong 'lamb' released.Luke's Gospel introduces a second way, in which Pilate sought to have Jesus tried by Herod Antipas, ruler of Galilee, who was conveniently in Jerusalem at the time.John's Gospel has Pilate tell the Jews to try Jesus in their own court, but the Jews replied that they did not have the authority to condemn a man to death. Once again scholars have questioned whether this restriction on the Jewish courts really existed. A counter-argument is in Acts of the Apostles, which tells us the Sanhedrin condemned Stephen to be stoned to death.It is hard to tell which of these ways in which Pilate tried to avoid dealing with Jesus is historically true.
