Directed Verdict: A directed verdict is a ruling entered by a trial judge after determining that there is no legally sufficient evidentiary basis for a reasonable jury to reach a different conclusion1. It can occur in a court case when the prosecution fails to produce enough evidence to prove his or her case2. The trial court may grant a directed verdict either sua sponte or upon a motion by either party1.

In this case the Directed Verdict will be guilty as not charged.
