Is there any legal process to follow or anything that I can do after a jury has turned in a guilty verdict? After sleeping on my decision I have had a change of mind about someone's guilt. Do I have to live with this decision or is there some process to overturn or change a verdict?

cannot change it at this point unless there was fraud of some sort you will have to live with the verdict you handed down

Done deal. If a jury has found all the elements of a crime there, you aren't gonna be able to stop much. Its not You vs Joe Criminal, it's State of ____ vs Joe Criminal. If the defendant has counsel (an attorney) you might speak to the attorney... that may be the last chance.

Sorry, you have to live with it. Unless there was jury misconduct, the jury's decision will stand even though some change their mind. (Of course, there might be other grounds for appeal.)

You can contact the defense attorney(s) and provide this information. There is actually little they can do, but if anyone can do anything, it will be him/her/them.
