The verdict of a Judge Mathis episode about the mans leg left in a smoker grill in a warehouse it aired 110107?
Judge Mathis awarded the plaintiff 5000 bucks but didn't order the defendant to return his own leg back to the plaintiff. One of the most hilarious episodes ever. LOL I am the defendant in that case and yes, it was quite bizarre. It took Judge Mathis several attempts to reach a verdict as there was no precedence. Many law schools were blogging as to whether it was an actual body part and whether or not the auction was legal. The real estate warehouse knew of the leg and continued the sale.

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.
What do you call the degree to which the jury must be persuaded of the truth of the plaintiff's evidence in order to return a verdict in favor of the plaintiff?
The degree to which the jury must be persuaded of the truth of the plaintiff's evidence to return a verdict in favor of the plaintiff is called the "burden of proof." In civil cases, this standard is typically "preponderance of the evidence," meaning the plaintiff must show that their claims are more likely true than not. In contrast, criminal cases require proof "beyond a reasonable doubt."
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.
