I qualified with largely. Rule 29 requires more than the judge disagreeing with the verdict. Basically the judge must find that there’s NO WAY a reasonable jury could find the defendant guilty.
But if the prosecution’s case was that weak, the judge probably would have granted the defendant’s Rule 29 motion at the close of the prosecution’s case.
