CAST LIST

The issue:  Pontius Pilate felt that he was unjustly charged in the annals of history in his role in the Crucifixion of Christ, so he asks for a trial in order to clear his name.  The Issue:  Was there Treachery in his motivation for his actions in the crucifixion, or did he do what he felt was his Duty in order to keep the peace in Jerusalem over the Passover feast?

The audience served as the jury and cast their ballots.

The Verdict:  Not Guilty
