Can’t the Judge overturn the Jury if there is compelling evidence such as video?
Does anyone have the actual Jury findings? Was the video shown in court to the Jury? Where the attackers identifiable in the video (I think they admitted to administering the beating anyway)?
If they did admit to beating the plaintiff, what can the mitigating circumstances possibly be in this case?
Amy legal types here?
Not an acquittal in a criminal case.
In a civil case, yes. In a criminal case, a jury's verdict of not guilty cannot be overturned by the judge or appealed by the prosecution.

No, and thank G-d it is so. Most judges are the enemy.
When it makes no sense
it is corruption
or tyranny
or both.
No; and if I'm wrong that's pretty terrifying a thought. (Consider a jury sitting on a government corruption case with whom the judge has [hidden] ties.)
