In that case we have alleged eye-witness accounts that were written decades after the supposed events by unknown authors with no way of checking the veracity of either the authors or the supposed witnesses. This is worth reinforcing. We do not know who wrote the gospels. We do not know if those writers talked to anybody who actually witnessed what happened when jesus allegedly did his thing. The bible has no eyewitness testimony. None. It is the equivalent of me writing about things that happened in World War II and then somebody claiming this is a reliable eyewitness account because it's possible that somebody who was alive in 1945 was alive today and I might have talked to them about it and I might have accurately written down their first-hand take on it. Only in this case you'd take that into a court long after I was dead, with no idea whatsoever of who I was, and simply present it to the court as "Somebody wrote this, your honour." For a detective to pretend that this rises to the level of reliable eyewitness testimony is extraordinary.
