Episode 34 Easter Bonus: The Crucifixion
Episode description
Since we are looking at wrongful convictions for the month of April, we decided to look at one of the most famous stories of wrongful convictions and executions known worldwide for our Easter Episode, The Crucifixion of Jesus Christ. We will be looking at the arrest, charges, and crucifixion of Jesus from the angle of the law of a wrongful conviction. Now, with saying that, we will looking at this case both from historical facts and stories from the New Testament as this is one of the biggest sources about Jesus’s crucifixion. We will not discussing our own personal religious beliefs. Today, most contemporary scholars recognize that both Jewish and Roman authorities must have played some role in the execution of Jesus. What we know historically about Jesus’ teachings and actions suggest that he offended and provoke the religious leaders of Israel during his time and that the Roman authorities were the ones to carry out his execution. So, did Jesus’s teachings warrant his arrest and his execution by crucifixion?
