When I read my question, I see that it isn't specific enough. As I understand it, the people of Israel had their freedoms but were under Roman law somehow. Until now I was pretty sure that the people couldn't kill Jesus because the Romans didn't allow that. In this context it isn't interesting for me how the Jews made their judgement.
When Stephen was stoned, the Romans were still in power. So why did the Romans allow the people of Israel to kill Stephen while it was forbidden before to put Jesus to death?
Well, that still is a good question, not sure you'll ever receive the correct answer.
Unless of course someone has a way to ask the Romans who were there at the time.
Sounds like a question Christians may be able to better answer than the Jewish people who don't really have record of most of the things that happened in the Christian bible.
Or maybe someone else here on the forum can state their thoughts.
