Not exactly eyewitness testimony.

But even if it is correct, notice this statement: "and sometimes it is not permitted, especially where persons have been convicted of high treason." Persons executed for high treason were usually NOT permitted to be buried. The Gospel of Mark clearly indicates that it was the crime of treason under Roman law that condemned Jesus to the cross, not blasphemy or any other violation of Jewish law.

Please provide a statement by Evans which states that Jesus was NOT crucified for the charge of claiming to be the King of the Jews. I'm not saying that I know what Evans believes on this subject but Ehrman seems to believe that Evans agrees with him on this issue.
