defendant is better off with a jury in a criminal case. he needs only one juror to avoid guilty verdict.

One juror only gets him a hung jury. In a highly political case like this, the prosecutor would have to retry. Not guilty requires unanimous. He is more likely to get not-guilty from a judge than a jury.
