i am just not a fan of it changing mid trial. Can still go either way. however now it is no longer simply about reasonable doubt
( example : consent video's are not binding so judge can simply ignore existance completely whereas a jury cannot really. and question of cohersion no longer exists )

No, this is not true. The trial is exactly as it was before. Reasonable doubt is still the standard. The judge decides facts now, instead of the jury, that's all.
