Mar 15:7 And there was [one] named Barabbas, [which lay] bound with them that had made insurrection with him, who had committed murder in the insurrection
Mat 27:16 And they had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas.
Luk 23:25 And he released unto them him that for sedition and murder was cast into prison, whom they had desired; but he delivered Jesus to their will.
Jhn 18:40 Then cried they all again, saying, Not this man, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber.
as u can see in the first three gospels he is being held for starting a riot. which makes sense because the Romans would have never held a common thief and a killer. since the Romans would have only held a person that had committed a crime against Rome and let the Jewish laws deal with a petty thief and killer
