I would certainly not. Pontius Pilate in the first place isn't a vicious man, he simply followed what the mass told him to do because he offered all to vote in which to kill. However, knowing that Jesus's sacrifice will lead to our salvation, I have no other choice but to kill him despite knowing he is a good man. But, if I don't know that Jesus is the Messiah, I wouldn't kill him and instead punish Barabas instead.
