Under the laws of which regime was Jesus sentenced to death on the cross?
The Jews tried to condemn Jesus to death for breaking their own religious laws. But Pilate initially rebuffed them saying: “Take him yourselves and judge him by your own law.” (John 18:)
Both before and after Pilate had Jesus flogged, he repeated to the Jewish leaders that he found no crime in Jesus.
It was not until the Jewish populace stated one last thing that made Pilate change his mind.
12 From then on, Pilate tried to set Jesus free, but the Jewish leaders kept shouting, “If you let this man go, you are no friend of Caesar. Anyone who claims to be a king opposes Caesar.”
13 When Pilate heard this, he brought Jesus out and sat down on the judge’s seat at a place known as the Stone Pavement (which in Aramaic is Gabbatha). 14 It was the day of Preparation of the Passover; it was about noon. John 19:12-14
No one can claim to be recognized as a king save by Caesar's authority! This is the trump card the Jews used to get Jesus crucified.
Ultimately, Jesus was condemned to death under Roman law and was crucified for our salvation. The Jews even appealed Pilate to crucify Jesus as they could not put someone to death. Only the Roman Governor had that authority, as Palestine was under his authority as established by Caesar.
Crucifixion is a Roman form of punishment and not a Jewish form of execution. The Jewish form of execution would be by stoning.
Thus to answer your question: Jesus was condemned to death under the Roman regime. Nevertheless, it was initiated by the Jewish religious leaders in Jerusalem.
