Like if you met up with an old friend in a bar in Nazareth around AD 35 and the friend goes "man, what do about that Jesus trial?" How do you consider it? Was he punished for breaking a Roman (or other) law? Or was it all trumped up charges and he was innocent?

Growing up Catholic, this is my understanding (and hopefully @ZacMabry can correct me on any points I miss here): The whole point is that he was persecuted unjustly. Someone in AD35 pointing out that he shouldn't have been executed would have been a minority voice, but correct.

As I see it, if we put aside the whole concept of Jesus literally fulfilling his predetermined destiny at that point, it provides a very real learning point, which is that one person standing up to suffer an injustice can provide salvation for everyone.

There's a practical disconnect where people who do not believe will laugh and go "Oh, so 'cos Jesus died, our lives are amazing?" but that misses the fundamental point: A visible injustice levied against one person can provide the outrage necessary to prevent further injustices..
