I just started a new book called Jesus on Death Row: The Trial of Jesus and American Capital Punishment. The author, Mark Osler, is a former prosecutor and current Professor of Law at Baylor University of School of Law.  I'm intrigued by his approach because he is looking at the trial of Jesus through the eyes of the US court system.  As one who is predisposed to a non-violent, consistent life ethic, I'm intrigued by the argument.
