Jesus was arrested by the Sanhedrin, who then tried and convicted Him in a religious court.
He was then handed over to the Roman civil authority who ruled over the occupied territories to carry out the sentence.
Jesus was killed by the jews, period. If there was no religious conviction there would have been no crucifixion as Jesus broke no civil laws.
Stein is happy all of this happened.
