Carrier, in proposing that, would inevitably have to refer to the same excerpt from Josephus..because it's unique in all of the historical record just for a suggestion that they may have pulled a crucified person down (trouble, same as before, is that it doesn't refer to them pulling down people crucified by the romans during an active occupation). The fact remains, that of all the people the romans crucified, we have little to nothing in the way of remains. If people -could- be pulled down and buried...they still weren't being pulled down and buried.
Some people..both carrier and apologists, -think- that the romans would have granted a request for a body, but there's no historical reason for thinking so...and it seems like they're trying to imagine what -they- would say or do if they were the local prefect.
All of it, though, still, polishing brass on the titanic.
