Was one of these 'shomrim' present with Jesus?
It's just that I would imagine, considering the hatred of many of the Jews toward Jesus, that he probably wouldn't have been afforded such a right (perhaps?). Maybe that's why Mary was there?
RC: I dunno, nobody can know. And I don't know whether corpse-watching-over was universally done then or ever. Jesus was an executed criminal, it was a holy day, help was scarce or on vacation, so maybe there was a shomer, but maybe/probably not. If anyone was there to watch over the corpse, why did he/she wait to show up until Sunday morning if the body was entombed late Friday afternoon? If a shomer was required/provided/showed up, there could not have been a seal (an implausible story element anyway).
As for the rest of your post, all I can say is "ommmm".
