1. Sorry, I thought these were reliable eye-witness accounts.
2. The Gospels tell plenty of tales that the supposed authors weren't privy to. Jesus' ordeals in the trials were related in great detail despite the fact that Peter was elsewhere, with the servants, at that time.
3. The problem is not just that events are inconsistent but that the order of events is different for each account.
