In any case gospels are eyewitness accounts and you can be sentenced to death based on eye witness testimony.Not if there are multiple other witnesses who each have a different version of events. I don't think using the memory of a memory of a memory passed on over hundreds or thousands of years would really carry the same weight as "I literally just saw that guy shoot that other guy".
Saying "Well my granddad said his granddad met a guy who knew a guy who said that that guy killed some guy!" is a fair bit less reliable.
