Pontius Pilate set Barabbas free as part of a Passover tradition where the Roman governor would release a prisoner chosen by the crowd. Faced with pressure from the local leaders and the crowd's demand for Barabbas instead of Jesus, Pilate ultimately yielded to their wishes. Additionally, he sought to avoid further unrest and potential backlash from the Jewish population. This decision was influenced by the political climate and the desire to maintain order during the festival.
The thief Barabas
Piate offered to set Jesus free.
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.
Basically, his job was on the line; he had to prevent a riot by the Jews, who had been stirred up into a frenzy by the Priests!

A:The gospels say that at the time of the Passover, it was a Jewish tradition to set one man free, although scholars have found no evidence of such a custom. Pontius Pilate asked the crowd to set Jesus or the murderer Barabbas free, and they chose to set Barabbas free.Some scholars suggest that this was a play on words, and that there was no Barabbas. They point out that Abbas means 'Father' in Aramaic and therefore Barabbas means 'Son of the Father'. Jesus is known as the Son of the Father, so the allusion is that the Jews set the wrong Son of the Father free.
It's called "Love Will Set You Free" by Kodaline
I'm guessing it would be to either choose either a criminal, Barabus or Jesus free and whoever is free the other is crucified
Matthew 27:19 - While he [Pilate] was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent to him, saying, "Have nothing to do with that just Man, for I have suffered many things today in a dream because of Him." [NKJV]
Pilate was not Emperor, he was Governor.
