There is fair amount of historic evidence that the Romans, not the Jews, were ultimately responsible for the crucifixion, though some of the details for the crucifixion as depicted in the Bible are somewhat suspect. When the Romans decided to adopt Christianity as the state religion, adjusting it to a lot of the pagan rites and beliefs so that it would become more palatable, they threw out pieces of the gospels and possibly distorted other parts so that the primary blame for the crucifixion would shift to the Jews.

Interestingly, God Himself was ultimately responsible. I mean the Gospel clearly says "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." John 3:16 I know God perhaps had hope man would rise above, but God is omnipotent and knew man would not. So, regardless of whether it was the Jews or Romans, Christ was going to die and was sent here for that purpose.
Note: I just had a huge dinner and am on cold medication - so this is a rather heady ramble even if true
