His existence is evidenced in the Scriptures, as well as the writings of Roman Historian Cornelius Tacitus (AD 55-120) - The Annals, Greek Satirist Lucian of Samosata - The Death of Peregrine, Roman Historian Suetonius - Life of Claudius and Lives of the Caesars, Governor of Bithynia in Asia Minor Pliny the Younger in his Epistle to the emperor Trajan, Thallus (AD 52) whose writings are referenced by Julius Africanus' Chronography, Historian Phlegon - Chronicles, Mara Bar-Serapion (AD 70) in a letter to his son, the Babylonian Talmud, Flavius Josephus (AD 38-100) - Jewish Antiquities, along with numerous Christian sources.
His words were recorded. Matthew dates between AD 70-100, Mark between AD 50-70, Luke between AD 60-90, John between AD 80-100. Pauls letters date between AD 50-100. The Qumram discoveries verified these dates. William Foxwell Albright, considered to be one of the world's foremost Biblical archaeologiests said, "We can already say emphatically that there is no longer any solid basis for dating any book of the New Testament after about AD 80, two full generations before the date between 130 and 150 given by the more radical New Testament critics of today."
Jesus Christ did exist. His words were recorded. His tomb is empty with no reasonable explanation outside the resurrection and He is coming again.

Yes they did. In fact, they kept very detailed records of all court proceedings.
Interesting fact. There is no Roman record of a trial before Pontius Pilot of a Jesus of Nazareth.

Jesus wasn't hanged, he was crucified--a much more torturous death than hanging.
