A Jury can convict or acquit the defendent based on jury nulification, its disagreement with law.
Most appeals crt judges dont overturn a Jury sentence or a trial judge sentence, if it disagrees with a jury's decision; a la Travon Martin or Michael Jackson cases were unique crt situations.
Usually, if a defendent's due process was not aheard to, like bad public defendent or change of venue is a sentence overturned.
