JESUS TRIAL

• Jesus trial was actually a series of
  hearings, carefully controlled to lead to the
  death of Jesus. The verdict was pre-decided, but
  certain legal procedures had to be carried out.
  A lot of effort went into condemning and
  crucifying an innocent man, and Jesus went
  through an unfair trial which finally led to his
  crucifixion
