I agree with what you say, but rest assured he can do exactly that if he chooses. The easiest and most sure fire way he can do so with little avenue to challenge his decision would be by a ruling of JNOV (Judgement Notwithstanding the Verdict). In a nutshell, it's a subjective ruling wherein the judge can declare that despite a jury's ruling he feels they voted and delivered their verdict incorrectly. I'm not suggesting he's going to do that, but IMHO that's how this particular jurist would sidestep this verdict. Again, not saying he's going to do it, but I would never rule it out until he signs on the line which is dotted to certify their verdict (which, by the way, was delivered in August).
