In general, a judge can inform the jury about a defendant's prior convictions if they are relevant to the case, but this is typically limited to specific circumstances, such as when the defendant is testifying and their credibility is at issue. However, judges often exercise caution to prevent undue prejudice against the defendant, as older convictions may not accurately reflect current behavior. The rules governing this can vary by jurisdiction, so it's essential to consider local laws and court procedures. Ultimately, the judge's primary responsibility is to ensure a fair trial.

Can Judges overrule jury verdicts in civil trials?
In most states, a judge can make a "judgment notwithstanding the verdict" which sets aside the jury verdict. A judge can only set aside a jury verdict in limited circumstances, including irregularity in the proceedings, passion/prejudice, and a verdict that the evidence does not support.
