The Sanhedrin is not one person, and thus should be in no list on any subject dealing with individual persons.
He should have in any event noted Nicodemus and Joseph of Arimathea dissented and urgently argued against what they were insisting upon Pilate
Arimathea I think paid for Jesus tomb....hed originally bought it for himself..
Both he and Nicodemus feature prominently in early Christian lore especially in Catholic , Orhtodox and mainline Protestant sects
Joseph even testified to Caiphas that Jesus had arisen from Joesphs tomb hed allowed for Jesus burial
Nicodemus and Joseph defended Jesus at risk to themselves and indeed Joseph was imprisoned for sometime before being freed by sympathizers
Both also paid for the herbs and spices and essence oils and helped prepare Jesus body for burial
Some scholars think Joseph traveled as far as Britannia proselytizing...some scholars disagree
Anyhow that is two Pharisees of the Sanhedrin who should have been spared the authors condemnation especially since Jesus himself forgave them for their transgressions ceding they were simply carrying out providence
This is from memory someone can and will correct me Im sure...Im no holy roller but my butt was on the pew most Sunday mornings and Wednesday nights in the 60s and 70s and even now I attend a fair amount....wifey is kinda adamant at times
Not to mention especially when the author summons up magical invention and cultural lore, assigning it to be factual history.
“Someone from the Bible should make this list” was where I started rolling my eyes. He didn’t disappoint. If he’d instead said “Someone from religion-craft should make this list”, I’d expected Martin Luther or Marcion, Augustine, Ambrose, Chrystosom and Constantine.
