“ Pilate asked them, “Why? What has he done wrong?” But they shouted more insistently, “Crucify him!” Because he wanted to satisfy the crowd, Pilate released Barabbas for them. Then, after he had Jesus flogged, he handed him over to be crucified.
Mark 15:14-15. Pilate thinks Jesus is innocent, yet he ignores justice to please the crowd. Majoritarian democracy in a nutshell.
