Given such compelling evidence over your "but I know she would never do that", I would have to go where the evidence leads, yes. The fundamental difference between your hypothetical and the resurrection story you're trying to equivocate is that in order for you to do that, you have to turn that physical and forensic evidence into thirteen anonymous dead and injured people who existed solely for the purpose of the story and who disappear without trace afterwards, an empty gun and a jury instructed to come up with an alternative explanation.
Actually, the point I'm driving at is that while you may have evidence that is so compelling that you have no choice to but to convict, God does not offer evidence that forces you to decide one way or the other. The clues are sufficient, but no coercive.
