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 any trial the judge is the ultimate decision maker because the judge has the authority in some rare instances to overturn a jury verdict. For instance, if a jury returns a $10 million verdict in a case that clearly is only worth $10,000.00, then the judge can overturn that verdict on the grounds of the jury award being excessive. Likewise in some states if the jury award is inadequate the judge may overturn the verdict on the grounds of it being inadequate, that is, too low.
