Yes a judge can overrule a jury verdict. Only case I remember of it was the Au Pair murder case back in the 90s. The jury found the young woman guilty, judge overruled them. I don’t know if a judge can reverse a ‘not guilty’ verdict though.

There must be a jury nullification protection. Sure couldn’t
find it
