Overturning Verdicts. In certain situations, a judge can overrule or change the guilty verdict that the jury has decided on. Typically, this is called either a judgment of acquittal or a judgment notwithstanding the verdict.
People who believe in a just world, for example, have been known to come down hard on criminal defendants in some cases, while at other times they seem to lack sympathy for the victims of the crime. The jury box turns out to be a lousy laboratory for the study of human behavior. For one thing, it's not a juror who decides the fate of a case, it's a jury.
