If that were the only problem with it it could be dismissed. In the scope of empire the death of one criminal would have been little more than a footnote. Pilate and his fellow prefects would have reported on important issues... not the death of some schmuck from the backwoods.
No. What's interesting about Pilate is that later xtians tried to forge so called "Acts of Pilate" to make their boy seem important, often with hilarious results. Even more with Pilate is the discrepancy between what Philo and Josephus wrote - where he was a rapacious prick - and the vacillating, pussy-whipped, little wimp who is intimidated by a mob of jews that the gospels liars portray.
