Acts 2:36-38 KJV Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ. (37) Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do? (38) Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

Peter didn't say they indirectly caused Christ's crucifixion because they had sinned. He didn't even imply an indirect causation being to blame. Peter said that they took and by wicked hands crucified and slain Christ. That is about as direct of an accusation as it gets. But the question is, who was they that did this? The men of Israel.(
Acts 2:22) But as individuals or as a group? I say as a group and this is perfectly consistent with scripture for the men of Israel as a group were directly responsible for the crucifixion. But, as individuals I doubt the 3000 who converted were all directly responsible for the crucifixion, but they were part of the house of Israel which was responsible.
