I think if the Judge disagrees with a verdict, he can issue a directed verdict or something. The jurors were probably alzheimer's patients, sometimes the only people available in Fla for jury duty are not all there.

Not in a criminal case. A judge can't reverse or set aside a jury verdict of innocent under the double jeopardy clause.

There can never be a directed verdict of guilty in a criminal trial. NEVER! An acquittal by a jury in a criminal trial is always the final say as to that charge. ALWAYS!

And we wouldn't want it any other way, even when (as appears to have happened here) the jury brought in the wrong verdict.
