In any trial the judge is the ultimate decision maker and has the power to overturn a jury verdict if there is insufficient evidence to support that verdict or if the decision granted inadequate compensatory damages. The term used to describe this action is judgement notwithstanding the verdict (JNOV) or judgement of acquittal in a criminal case.
Judges are very reluctant to overturn a jury verdict. Jury verdicts are statements of the community. Therefore they are given great respect. Furthermore in a criminal case, a judge cannot overturn a verdict of not guilty as that would violate a defendant’s 5th amendment right. To overturn a guilty verdict there must be clear evidence that offers reasonable doubt.
Yah...he is not going to do this. If I know how the Elites work, they have already kidnapped his kids and told him, guilty or little jimmy's head in a box.
Despite all the window dressing these people actually function more like the mafia with even less scruples.
If the jury finds him guilty I don’t think the judge will allow it.
Yeah I don't either.
Judges are not allowed to refute verdicts, right?

These people ARE the mafia!
Kash Patel was talking about it on the Tim Pool show and if I remember correctly it isn't used often but it is allowed. Maybe I remember wrong though.
