That court examined the evidence, concluded that it was insufficient to support the verdict, and on that basis reversed the judgment given to the plaintiff on the verdict, and directed that judgment be entered for the defendant.
The Motion is what the party uses to move (ask) the Court to do something (i.e., MOTION for Directed Verdict). The moving party files the Motion for Directed Verdict where the jury has come back with a finding that the evidence and/or testimony did not support.

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.
