Hello Tokyojim,
While I cannot speak for Jim, I may be able to provide you with a preview of what will be required. Yours is not an original assertion and if you look through the archives, you will probably find threads that deal with this conjecture quite thoroughly.
The basic weakness of your contention is that there seems to be a serious lack of any contemporary attestation that any of the alleged actual witnesses to the resurrection were martyred.
I think, then, your challenge will be to provide contemporary references regarding specific witness/martyrs to be discussed on a case by case basis.
Namaste'
