No, there's a big difference...
The root cause of Jesus' death is part of an allegory meant to provide a moral lesson. Note: I don't take a literal interpretation of the Bible.
And our legal system is heavily influenced by elements of Biblical inspired morality that's detached from the dogma of the Bible.
This isn't to argue moral relativisim, but I can't compare spiritual teaching with reality in a literal sense.
