Can a judge overrule a jury?

A judge can set aside a jury verdict but the judge has to have solid legal grounds to do so.

The trial judge does not have authority to overturn a jurys verdict. If they did, then the whole jury process would be rather meaningless if the judge could just insert his own verdict in the end anyway. If you believe that were problems in your son's case or a problem with the jury, retain an appellate attorney to review the trial transcripts for any issues that could be appealed. What makes you think they were biased against your son or racist anyway since the jury doesnt really talk or say anything during the trial? Just because they reached a decision that you didnt like doesnt make them racist or biased.

The judge will be asked to set aside the verdict but that almost never happens. I doubt that it has anything to do with race, it has to do with the jury finding that he was guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. The relatives always see the evidence through different eyes and every son lies to his mother and every mother believes him. They could be innocent sometimes, but I do not know any of the facts of your case, I only know that it is likely that you are not impartial or able to judge such matters in an unbiased fashion.

A judge can overrule a jury, but it does not happen very often.

Yes, but dont hold your breath on it happening.
