Just the judge. If you want a panel of experts, you get a jury trial and 
bring the panel of experts yourself.

That's why I'm confused - are you talking about experts in 
law/criminology/etc, or experts in the field you're being accused in? 
And what might that field be? What if you disagree over what experts are 
actually applicable?

In my experience of thinking about many of these things, once one says 
"it should be different" (regardless of what large field "it" may 
involve), when one drills down to the next level of detail, it makes 
sense why it works the way it does. Taking (as an example) the 
libertarian platform to the next level reveals that it really doesn't 
make sense as is in the modern world.
