IMO, that's too much power for a judge to have. At least with a jury,
you have 12 people vs one with a judge.

	This wasn't a legal issue - so why would a judge be more likely to
catch this (beyond simply experience with arguments that often arise in
courts)? He's no more qualified in these matters than an ordinary person
is.

	You mean stings? I don't have too strong feelings about it. Entrapment,
though, is something I generally feel should be illegal.
