Not sure what text you are reading in the NT, nor are you paying attention to Josephus in Antiquities 18.63-64. The NT (Where do I start? Mark 15, Matthew 27, Luke 23:1-25) and Josephus make it clear that in Jesus' case, the leadership did have a role in moving Pilate to exercise his unique right to authorize executions.
