uh huh. And this is apropos of exactly what?[/quote]

It was against the law as it would have been like working on the Sabbath. He was accused of blasphemy. [/quote]
Saving a life is one of those things that can override shomer shabbat laws in Judaism, so this wouldn't be a problem.[/quote]

OK yes, but this is a good example of the absurdity of this thread's whole premise. (I don't mean you specifically, but the entire idea of looking for a legal explanation for the Crucifixion.) The pikuach nefesh exception to the Shabbat laws was mostly elaborated in the Talmud, which mostly wasn't written until after Jesus's death/the destruction of the Second Temple! The entire understanding of halacha changed in exile, as we built up a rabbinic tradition separate from the High Priests and the Temple rituals...[/quote]

Fortunately, the straightforward question was answered by multiple people.

[b]For every attempt to answer based on historical legal info, there were two answers that quoted scripture blaming the Jews[/b].[/quote]

I don't understand this because the scripture is what it is. You're saying that just quoting the gospels is "blaming the Jews"? 
The question simply couldn't be answered without reference to Mathew, Mark, Luke and John.  There is also a passing reference to the incident in Josephus, but that's about it.
Or maybe you're saying the question shouldn't have been asked at all?[/quote]
