You and Greene are historically wrong. Jesus was not handed over to Herod, nor his son, for crucifixion. Jesus was tried and sentenced to death in Pilate's court. Pilate was the ROMAN governor of Judea, who referred Jesus to a ROMAN court with a ROMAN judge.

According to Roman law, only the emperor, or his appointee could sentence capital punishment. A provincial Jewish court could not administer the death penalty.
