Based on what's out so far I'd go with judge, too. I'd like to think a judge better understands "beyond a reasonable doubt" while most jury members would probably have their mind made up going in.
I also think it needs to go to a judge that doesn't give a fuck about making a decision that a lot of people may disagree with. Not a judge up for re-election, or a judge that worries too much what people think. There are going to be people that hate the verdict, no matter what it may be.
