"Forbidden by Jewish Law to crucify anyone on the Sabbath"
Why would the Romans care about Jewish law? During the time of Christ, the Romans honored most of the local Jewish laws that did not conflict with their own and allowed the Jews to worship their God as long as they paid taxes to Rome and remained civil. Although many of the Jewish leaders sought Jesus death and persuaded the Roman authorities to kill him, it was ultimatley a Roman decision to crucify Jesus Christ. Read Armageddon 2000 if you want to read some interesting twists on this theme.
