How can a judge sentence a person if he doesn't believe they are guilty but the jury found them guilty?
First, because that is the way the legal systemn in the US works. Second, how would you know the judge doesn't believe the defendant is guilty? I seriously doubt that the judge would allow a miscarriage of justice - he always has the option of vacating the jury's verdict - declaring a mis-trial and ordering a new trial... if necessary.
