The Roman crusified him, but the Jewish high priests wanted him dead. It was against thier law to put anyone to death, so thats were Pilot was setup.

Not quite.
Judea was, at the time an "Allied Kingdom" of Rome's. ( At Judea's request)
This is a nice euphamism for "protertorate" and it was due to ROMAN law that the Jews were not allowed to simply off somebody at will .
( there were a few things for which they could, but being a political threat was not on that list)
But, what you said was true: Pilate WAS set up and lost his slot as Govornor due to the incident.
