In what case has a jury overturned a judge verdict?
(in the US) That cannot, and does not, occur in criminal cases.
The jury's final decisions are final except under what two circumstances?
Overturned by the judge (e.g.: a "runaway" jury) or, reversed on appeal to a higher court.
Is the verdict in a summary jury trial binding?
Where a jury gives a verdict of "not guilty" this is usually binding. However a "guilty" verdict may be overturned (on appeal) in rare cases if new evidence comes to light or if there were mistakes made during the trial.

When is a jury's desicion not final?
I am going to assume this has to deal with criminal law as it is in the "Crime and Criminal Law", so this information does not apply to civil (Though it is similar). The good news is that if a jury returns a verdict of not guilty, that is it - the defendant is not guilty on those charges. It can never be overturned (Assuming there is not some type of jury problem and there is a retrial). Basically, an appeals court can never overturn a not guilty verdict when it is returned by a jury. This is based on the doctrine of claim preclusion. If someone could be tried twice on the same charges, this would be a deprivation of the 14th amendment due process right afforded to the defendant by the state. There are some instances to take note of, however. One being when the jury returns a guilty verdict, and the judge grants a motion notwithstanding the verdict (Essentially overturning the jury's verdict and finding the defendant not guilty). This CAN be appealed and overturned. This is not subject to claim preclusion. Good luck.
Could the judge in the Casey Anthony trail overturned the not guilty verdict given by the jury?
No. A judge cannot overturn a "Not Guilty" verdict. Once someone is acquitted, they can never again be tried for that crime.
Is overturned a prefix?
No, overturned itself is not a prefix. However over is a prefix that means excessive.
What is the verdict for civil case?
The verdict is 'Guilty.' The finder of fact (usually a jury) has to feel that the evidence proves guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
Is overturned a preposition?
No, it is not. It is the past tense and past participle of the transitive or intransitive verb (to overturn) and can be used as an adjective (e.g. an overturned ruling, an overturned vehicle).
How does judicial review affect the U.S. government?

Would state law be overturned if it violated to constitution?
