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 cases, an appellate court will overturn a guilty verdict only if the trial court made an error of law that patently or significantly contributed to the trial's outcome. In other words, a trial judge's error will not lead to a reversal of a conviction as long as the error can reasonably be considered harmless.
