No. Where the jury acts, the jury acts as trier of fact only. The court routinely instructs the jury as to principles of law and their application, but the court, not the jury, determines the applicable law and how it is to be applied. In this, the jury has no discretion.
A judge can overrule a jury when there is a legal error in the jury's decision or if the judge believes the jury's decision is not supported by the evidence presented in the case.
Typically, the judge enters the courtroom first, followed by the jury. The judge takes their seat at the bench, and once the judge is in place, the jury is brought in. This order underscores the judge's role as the presiding authority in the courtroom. After the judge and jury are seated, the proceedings can commence.

A grand jury can not reduce a charge. Only the judge can make decisions like that. The grand jury can make suggestions to the judge and the judge can decide for or against it.
When a judge gives the jury "instructions," what that means is that the judge is "instructing" the jury on the applicable law or laws which the jury must consider in deliberating their decision. The judge is NOT instructing them on how to rule.

In a jury trial, the jury determines what facts are true. The judge plays a referee and determines what is admissible at law, what law is relevant, and makes sure the trial is run by the rules. In a jury trial, the judge performs both roles.
