Can a Judge Overrule a Jury Verdict? In any trial, the judgeâs decision and opinion has higher authority than anyone else. The fact of the matter is that a judge is an expert on the law and the jury is not. The judge can overturn a guilty verdict and find the defendant not guilty, but not the other way around. Instead of overturning a guilty verdict, the judge can order a new trial.
A court must make sure not to remove a juror just for disagreeing with the other jurors as to the sufficiency of the evidence. However, a juror canât improperly make up his mind prior to the beginning of jury deliberations and refuse to engage in deliberations with the other jurors.All jurors have a duty to deliberate.nce an individual is chosen for the jury, he must remain free of bias and follow the instructions of the court. If a juror fails to do this, he may be disqualified and removed from the jury. The court can excuse a juror at any time for good cause. This gives the court broad discretion to disqualify a juror.
