I agree somewhat that you can't simply dismiss it altogether because it's all there is to go by at the moment, but that is far from placing it in the same category as testimony in court. There is a reason why anything not experienced first-hand is known as hearsay in the court of law, and I'm willing to bet that testimony of paranormal experiences or altered states of consciousness isn't likely to be used to pin somebody down for murder, hit and run, assault, or anything else for that matter (if it is even considered at all). I'm not going to say you are flat out wrong and reincarnation is impossible just because of this, but you picked a really bad example man.
