I'm not sure a judge would be much better.
With a jury, you only need to convince one out of 12.
So long story short one jury I was on involving drug dealing when it came to deliberations one person felt that the guy was not guilty and she stuck to her guns. But in the jury room it's 11 against 1 and she whittled down until she voted guilty.
