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.
If the judge enters judgment pre-verdict, there is no verdict to go back to if it's reversed on appeal; there must be a new trial, as appellate court can't act like a jury and decide the case. Jury may decide that way anyway, so the judge needn't make the radical decision to take case away from jury.
