No, I don't think that the procurator of a province would have broken Roman laws, changed his own verdict and buckled to the demands of a mob of conquered people... especially if that mob is headed by the (then) religious and anti-Roman leaders of said people... and I do think that if he had there would have been rather more written about it!
