"content": "I am sure, at the end of the day, there will be a lot of talk about what this House is likely to do. Are we making a popular decision which is right or a popular decision which is wrong? I think the counsel for the Governor introduced something he called the Pontius Pilate moment. It happened many years ago, and to set the record straight, I do not think any of us was present; we just read about it. To set the record straight, I do not think none of us was present; we just read about it. I was not there, so I do not know. I read about it just like the counsel. Pontius Pilate many years ago was faced with a similar decision. According to Pontius Pilate, he did not see the innocence or guilt of Jesus Christ. Before making his final verdict, he decided to ask the people who were baying for the blood of Jesus, “Why do you want me to crucify or to sentence this innocent person to death?” Those fellas said that he had broken so many laws according to them. When he pressed on they told him, “No, do not today release the other gentleman who was a known criminal and peddler of bad behaviour called Barabbas, but we just want you to deal with this innocent guy.”"
