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.
In most states, a judge can make a judgment notwithstanding the verdict which sets aside the jury verdict. A judge can only set aside a jury verdict in limited circumstances, including irregularity in the proceedings, passion/prejudice, and a verdict that the evidence does not support. You should consult with an attorney if you are facing a motion to set aside a jury verdict and/or if the verdict has already been set aside.
